| Text | Tommy Bond is not used to the pounding his delivery received at the hands of the Louisvilles Thursday and Friday. Never, to the best of our knowledge, was he batted so hard as Tuesday. Twelve safe hits with a lively ball were occasionally made off him last year, but a larger number only once. That was in the game of Aug. 20, when the Bostons made sixteen single and 20 total bases against Bond. The lively ball has destroyed the reputation of nearly every pitcher in the country. Nolan, Galvin and a few others save themselves only by the use of the dead ball. Boston Herald July 15, 1877 Chicago opposed outlawing mid-season player signings ...had it not been for the bitter opposition of the representative of [the Chicago] club at the League meeting, the laws which permit players being engaged before the end of a season for which they are under contract, would have been repealed, and, therefore, any complaint on that subject comes from Chicago with a poor grace. St. Louis Globe-Democrat July 16, 1877 |
