[Toledo vs. Indianapolis 8/5/1884] In the third inning McGuire was struck by a foul tip, breaking the wires of his mask and inflicting serious injury on the temple. He was then sent to center, with Welch at second and Barkley behind the bat. Cincinnati Enquirer August 6, 1884

A catcher’s mask saved Jack Rowe, of the Buffalo, from a serious accident at Baltimore. A swift foul tip would have struck him square in the face had it not been for t he mask, but as it was the wire was bent and cut his eye quite severely. The Sporting Life April 30, 1884
