[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. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch August 10, 1873
