[Mutual vs. Atlantic 5/30/1874] Farrow was the first to face Mathews; and, after having two strikes called on him–Bob sending them in very accurately–he retired on the next strike. Bond was next, and good bat as he is, he succumbed to Mathews’s curves, as did Dehlman... Three of the Atlantics striking out was a rather singular beginning... New York Sunday Mercury May 31, 1874

[Mutual vs. Atlantic 5/30/1874] Bobby Matthews [put] in his bothering “curves” with great speed. This was rather a surprise–as it was a novelty to see three Atlantics strike out in succession; but Matthews was “on his pitch” in this game, if he never was before. New York Clipper June 6, 1874
