[Athletics vs. Atlantics 10/22/1866] ...the strict observance of the rules by the umpire...in this game made it less a trial of skill in the strategical points of play than before–batting and fielding coming more into play as elements of success in the game than in the previous match at Brooklyn. Pratt [the Atlantics pitcher] had more opportunities afforded him for “points” of play in his position than he had in Philadelphia.
