| Text | [from an interview of Henry Boyle] “How’s the lame arm?” he was asked. “Lame no longer,” he replied, “and since last fall, even, I have learned something in the pitching line. While acting as professor of pitching at Girard, I not only taught others, but taught myself, and to-day I can pitch as well under as over-hand.” In other words Boyle has become a scientific pitcher as well as an over-hand thrower. He commenced pitching two years ago, when he joined the St. Louis Union team. Since then he has mastered all the curves, and to-day, besides being the swiftest thrower in the land, is an artist and has complete command of the sphere.

This little invention is to enable runners to steal bases without injury to their cuticle. Sporting News March 17, 1886 The sliding pad has not yet met with much favor. Welch, of the St. Louis Browns, and Miller, of the Pittsburgs, are the only players in the country who use the patent. The Sporting News May 24, 1886 |
