...let us recount [Craver's] history briefly: Dismissed from the Haymakers of 1869 for alleged crookedness; reinstated and hired by the Chicagos of 1870; expelled from the Chicagos of 1870; fired out of the Haymakers of 1871; chucked out of the Baltimores of 1872-73; let out of the Philadelphias of 1874; bought from the Centennials into the Athletics of 1875; whipped on the Union grounds in 1876 for giving a gambler the “double-cross”; expelled from Louisville and the League in 1877; reinstated by the International Association in 1878. he is like an old-fashioned Queen's arm; does more exertion at the breech than the muzzle; sometimes hurts the other club, but always kills his own.
