Text | [Philadelphia vs. Mutual 7/7/1873] Wood was at second, Ned at third, when James [Wood] left his base and was sandwiched between Holdsworth [short stop] and Higham [second baseman], who in the meantime kept good watch on [Ned] Cuthbert. Ned then made a streak for home, and Holdsworth passed the ball to Hicks [catcher], but Ned put in a patent dive and scored his run amidst loud applause. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch July 13, 1873 [Baltimore vs. Philadelphia 8/7/1873] [Cuthbert] stole second in the best style of base running, the ball being well thrown by McVey and equally well handled by Carey, but Ned’s patent dive saved him from capture.
