Text	[Philadelphia vs. Athletic 6/8/1874] As a matter of comparison, it may be found interesting to know that during the game McBride pitched 151 balls; of these 102 were “fair” balls, 27 were “foul,” 18 “wide,” and four “called.”Cummings pitched 178 balls; 132 were fair, 23 foul, 19 wide, and 4 called.The Philadelphia batters had 5 strikes “called” on them, and made 12 strikes (failures to hit the ball,) while the Athletics had 13(!) called strikes, and 15 strikes–this analysis showing that the Philadelphias batted with the most freedom and certainty.Philadelphia All-Day City Item June 14, 1874 [Note: per the box score the Philadelphias got 6 hits, the Athletics 16; 1 Philadelphia batter struck out, 2 Athletics; 1 each took first on wides, no bases on balls; Phillies had 3 batters got on base on errors, the A’s 8; Phillies left 4 runners on base, A’s 10.]
