[Providence vs. Chicago 6/24/1881] ...the Chicagos hit Ward early and often. This pitcher, who used to tie himself in a double-bow knot and face second base, has adopted a new method. He swings his arm backward and around so far that it becomes visible on his left side and then brings it back again with a resounding jerk. The result is that he is very wild and punishing on the catcher, while he is not at all puzzling, as yesterday’s record shows.
