Text	[Athletics of Philadelphia vs. Mountain City of Pottsville 8/19/1869] A singular feature of this game was the number of balls required to finish it; Al. Reach knocking three over the fence, and Fisler one–all of which were stolen and run off with by the numerous urchins outside the ground. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury August 22, 1869 a difficult slow pitcher [Oriental of New York vs. Athletic 8/16/1869] The Orientals played exceedingly well during the early part of the game, and for four or five innings had their opponents in a pretty tight place. The Athletics at first could not hit Fitzsimmons’ pitching–he delivering a slow ball, but apparently a difficult one to hit to [sic] squarely. The Athletics warmed up towards the close of the contest, and by their tremendous batting, in the sixth and eighth innings, not without, however, a little luck, secured an easy victory.
