[from answers to correspondents] When the umpire has called one ball or more, and the batsman has made or had one strike called, does the umpire then commence calling balls at ‘one ball,’ or go on from the number of balls that had been called before the strike was made or called? ... The calling of strikes does not interrupt or interfere with the call of balls. One ball being called and then a strike, the next unfair ball would be “two balls.” New York Clipper July 26, 1879

the qualities of the good pitcher

Richmond showed himself to be a strategist of no mean order, having speed, command of the ball, and a well-disguised change of pace, and pitching with head-work. New York Clipper July 26, 1879
