Text	[The Mutuals’] chief hopes lay in the engagement of Cummings–the “boy phenomenon,” as he has long been known–who, after a series of coquettings with other clubs, finally settled down in Gotham. ... Cummings was backed by young Hicks of the Eckford nine of ‘71, and, as they had been the crack players of the Star Club of ‘70, their experiences were likely to be renewed. Chas. Mills, the popular veteran, had been tried behind the “boy’s” puzzling twister, and, as every one anticipated, the style of pitching did not suit him, and Charles had to give way, and take for the first time the secondary position of substitute.
