Probably among the most effective catchers of the season we should not be far wrong in placing Hicks, of the Mutual nine of 1872. Most assuredly no man had more difficult pitching to attend to than Hicks, the side bias implanted to the ball–practically useless in its effect on the batting–by Cummings, making the rebound from his delivery so eccentric as to require the most active movements on the part of the catcher to prevent passed balls.
