Text | [Philadelphia vs. Athletic 9/15/1875] The game was a tedious one, occasioned greatly by long waits. A half hour’s delay was caused by “Josephs,” who had promised faithfully to be on hand, not putting in an appearance, a misfeasance upon his part which gave rise to some ugly suggestions thouching “the cause.” Zettlein, however, donned his uniform, and was applauded as he took his position. When the Athletics took the field, Knight was practicing Coons, when on the second ball pitched, Coons was further disabled, by having his fingers fearfully lacerated, and he was compelled to leave. This caused another tedious wait, as Clapp had to go from the field to the house to rig up. Does not the constitution and by-laws of the Athletic Club require the substitutes to be dressed in uniform, and upon the field? If this was done, such disagreeable delays would not occur. |
