Text | And so the game at Peoria, Ill., the other day, in which the Bostons were defeated, was not a game of base ball after all. The pitcher of the Peoria club, instead of pitching, persisted in over-hand throwing. Harry Wright protested several times to the umpire, but it was of no avail, and rather than disappoint the large crowd present—it being the inauguration of a new base ball ground—coupled with the fact that he would lose a large guarantee if he withdrew his men, he played the game, even at the risk of a defeat. |
