Text	[Excelsiors vs. Charter Oaks 6/26/1862] In the third inning Creighton had again resumed his position as pitcher, and hence the single run instead of five in that inning. In the fourth, though, he had to slacken his speed, the catcher’s hands being puffed up terribly with stopping such swift balls as Creighton sent in–want of practice making his hands tender. For this reason only can we account for the Charter Oaks obtaining nine runs off Creighton’s pitching in this inning. New York Sunday Mercury June 29, 1862 [Excelsiors vs. Charter Oaks 6/26/1862] Leggett, as catcher, was far from being in his usual good play; he did not attempt to throw to the bases in consequence of his arm being lame, and Creighton could not pitch with his usual swiftness, as his hands were too tender to stop his balls.
