Irwin, the new catcher for the Providence team, plays with a mask. Cincinnati Enquirer April 13, 1882

[Buckeye vs. Cincinnati 4/13/1882] In the second inning yesterday afternoon, while Snyder was up behind the bat catching, White pitched a close ball to Deagle, who was at the bat. The latter unintentionally swung around and struck fiercely at the ball, making a foul. Snyder, thinking that it was a high one, threw off his mask, and as he did so the club struck him on the forehead, inflicting a deep but not serious wound just above the left eye. He was taken to the players' house, where the injury was washed and attended to. Cincinnati Enquirer April 14, 1882
