[Chicago vs. Providence 6/4/1880] The fourth inning opened with Joe Start at the bat again, and once more did the veteran judiciously wait for a good ball, and, not getting one, was given first on balls again. This waiting for balls is a much-neglected point in facing swift curved-pitching, and being always ready to hit straight balls is a still scarcer point of play in batting, both the nines in this match showing weakness in this respect.
