Text | [from a letter to the editor] Whitney, of the Boston club pitches a remarkable ball. He seems a perfect master of it when it leaves his hand. Standing behind the catcher in the game last played between the Bostons and New York, I was amazed to see his wonderful “in” and “out,” and up and down sweeps of the ball, and singularly enough it was while the ball was under great momentum. I saw Whitney send a ball to home and as soon as it left his hand he called to Connor of the New Yorks, “Look out.” Connor, as he thought, was far enough away to avoid a hitting, yet the ball took a rapid sweep off its course and struck him full in the side, for the moment quite disabling him. |
