Text	[Philadelphia vs. Mutual 8/11/1873] Cuthbert was unable to light on Matthews’ singular curves. Wood then followed–made three ineffectual attempts to collide, and, as Allison [catcher] found grease on the last one, James got to first base. Two passed balls gave him third and home. “Bobby” was wroth, and wanted “Doug” to give Higham place behind the bat; but Doug said “nay.” ... The victory was won by the remarkable pitching of Matthews. Cummings, in his palmiest days, never exhibited the “curve” to such an extent, and an illustration might be in place. Allison stood from three to five feet to the right of the batsman as he faced the field; Matthews the same distance to the right. While Fulmer was at the bat, a ball delivered from this position went over or behind his (Fulmer’s) head, and lodged in the catcher hands, he receiving it without a change of place.
