On the bases [the Athletics] had Kleinfelder, Reach, and Fisler, the former a sure catch; and the latter a regular icicle of coolness in his style of play, all three unquestionably the right men in the right places, it being unnecessary to refer to Reach’s well known abilities as a second-base player. New York Sunday Mercury August 25, 1867

Peters led off at the bat, but by the good fielding of Fisler, the “icicle” of the Athletic nine, he had to retire. New York Sunday Mercury August 25, 1867
