| Text | [Atlantic vs. Mutual 10/12/1868] Just above the enigmatical tiger flag of the Atlantics, floating from the staff at the lower right hand angle of the Union grounds, the champion streamer, released from its long confinement, curried and twirled, and whipped and whizzed, and snapped all saucily as if some Western John were handling it to touch up the leaders of the Atlantic team and remind them of the fact that they had a heavy load to carry and that, perhaps, they would find the road before them rather hard to travel. New York Herald October 13, 1868 distinction between a wide pitch and a passed ball; pitcher coving home; an easy steal of second when a runner is on third [Atlantic vs. Mutual 10/12/1868] Pearce sent the first ball delivered very prettily along the ground to centre field and made first base. He was soon enabled to get 2d on a wide pitch, which Dockney [catcher] tried well to stop but didn’t succeed. He was helped to third by Smith’s safe hit back of short, on which Charley made 1st. Smith ran down to second very soon, as Pearce was on third. A passed ball allowed Pearce to get home, but he would have been out had Wolters [pitcher] caught the ball when thrown back to him. Start sent a pretty ball to centre field, on which he made 1st, and Smith got home. A wide pitch gave Start second base. New York Clipper October 17, 1868 |
