| Text | [Chicago vs. Philadelphia 6/15/1874] For the first, second, and third innings six men of the Chicago struck out in succession–a remarkable thing. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury June 21, 1874 [Cummings was the pitcher for the Philadelhpias.] [Chicago vs. Philadelphia 6/15/1874] ...the White Stockings being unable to hit Cummings, six men striking out in succession. ... The wonderful pitching of Cummings alone won the match for the Philadelphias... New York Clipper June 27, 1874 [Chicago vs. Philadelphia 6/15/1874] Cummings pitched with immense effect, but analyzed, and it wasn't pitching at all, for it was bowling a round armed and illy disguised throwing and it is a mystery that the Whites did not see it, for hundreds of others did. Philadelphia Sunday Republic June 21, 1874 [Philadelphia vs. Athletic 6/27/1874] Cummings, we suppose, was trying his “peculiar delivery” early in the game, for the way he was hit must have been galling to his pride and taken down much of his very large stock of conceit. After the second inning he changed his tactics, and very few clean hits were made on him. Philadelphia Sunday Republic June 28, 1874 |
