Text	[Chicago vs. Mutual 6/13/1876] For half an hour before the game began the Chicago nine exercised in passing the ball around, the bases being manned, and each player in his position. No “fungo” batting was indulged, all the practice being devoted to fielding. Under such a system, it is not surprising that the records show the Chicago nine at the head of the list in skillful fielding. The assemblage was not slow to perceive that in the play of the Chicagos and in their deportment and manner of doing their work there was the plain mark of discipline. The team is well handled, Spalding having already shown himself to be an admirable and intelligent manager, as well as an able captain of a nine.
