Text	[Princeton vs. Athletic 4/14/1877] We are sorry to condemn Weaver [Athletics’ pitcher], but it was very evident that he was not doing his best; instead of putting his swift “curves,” in to the batsman he pitched a slow, winding ball throughout the whole game. It looked as through he was afraid to throw them in, as though he was afraid that McGlinley could not hold them.. Philadelphia Item April 16, 1877 This from the Republic of Sunday last: Weaver has developed a curve that is exceedingly hard to hit. Ferguson says that his delivery is very puzzling, and bothers the best of batsmen. Philadelphia Item May 10, 1877 dissipation on the Indianapolis Club; a hint about Nolan Early in the year the management of the Indianapolis club made a set of rules to govern the conduct of the players. One of them forbids the use of intoxicating liquors, but the violations thereof have been more numerous than pleasing. The loss of the game yesterday is said to have been owing to the fact that one of the men was unable to play through weakness superinduced by dissipation. It is worse than useless to have good players if their services can not be commanded in times of necessity. Indianapolis Journal April 17, 1877 [Indianapolis vs. Louisville 4/16/1877] Nolan is a hard man to hit, and if he could only be cured of the notion of getting sick whenever he begins to get hit freely, he will yet develop into something formidable. Louisville Courier-Journal April 17, 1877 Bradley’s curves [Chicago vs. Fairbank of Chicago 4/21/1877] ...the amateurs could not make any sort of show against Bradley’s curves, and struck out with freedom. Chicago Tribune April 22, 1877
