[Cincinnati vs. St. Louis 8/13/1885] The principal cause of yesterday’s defeat of the Browns by the Cincinnatis was the fact that Foutz could not put as much speed into the ball as he usually does, as Sullivan clearly demonstrated the fact that he could not hold tem. It was very plain when Foutz pitched a swift ball, as Sullivan almost invariably dropped it. As a result the Porkopolitans hit Dave freely, securing ten base hits, of which two were doubles. St. Louis Post-Dispatch August 14, 1885 [N. B. Doc Bushong usually caught Foutz, but had split a finger.]
