Text | The muddy state of the ground at the catcher’s position proved to be a benefit rather than a drawback, as far as the play was concerned; for it necessitated cautious play on the part of the pitchers, and obliged them to pitch well over the home base, and more for the striker than is ordinarily done; consequently, though the catchers had an arduous task to perform, the brunt of the battle fell upon the fieldsmen–and well did they do their duty, one and all. |
