Martin, of the Mutuals, is the medium paced pitcher par excellence, he having no superior, if an equal, in his specialty. With first class fielding support, and especially against strong batting nines of the heavy, hard hitting class, we would rather invest on his success in preference to any pitcher we know of. ... Martin’s average of chances for outs offered off his pitching exceeded that of any other pitcher in the fraternity, and this has been the case for several seasons past.

...

Wolters has a long reach, and sends in a swift, rising ball from within some eight or ten inches off the ground.
