[Easton vs. Athletic 10/7/1874] [Clapp unavailable to catch] ...McGeary declined playing in the game as catcher, preferring to play his own position of short-stop, and Anson accordingly was substituted, and considering the little practice he has had in that difficult position he did remarkably well, McBride, however, failing to pitch as swiftly as he would with McGeary or Clapp behind him, and consequently being easily punished by the Eastons.
