[analyzing the New Yorks' late-season fade] ...the weakness [of the New Yorks] which was sure to be developed was in the batteries; that Keefe and welch were obliged to oppose pitchers who were in far better physical condition; that Keefe and Welch had taken part in about 48 and 46 games respectively—the opposing pitchers had played in about 30 per cent. less—and yet there are those who expect the former, under these circumstances, to be equally as effective. The Sporting Life September 15, 1886

Nowadays a winning club must have at least three great pitchers. The average pitcher breaks down or weakens at the end of his fortieth game for a season, according to a calculation based upon long experience. The Sporting Life September 15, 1886, quoting the Louisville Courier-Journal
