[Unions of Laningburgh vs. Atlantics 6/6/1870] Many will think that with so large a score [32-31] there must have been much muffing. The contrary was the case. With the exception of two or three bad throws and a couple of dropped flyballs there was really nothing to find fault with. Most of the balls were too hot for an in-fielder to hold, were his hands of iron, and a player who did succeed in holding them and putting a base runner out is deserving of great credit. Thirty-eight clean first-base on the one side and thirty-three on the other will serve to show what the hitting was without further comment.
