Text	[quoting an unidentified article by Tim Murnane] Last season, more than any other, the fielders have been coached by private signals from the pitcher. The Boston club, a month or so ago, gave Krock of the Chicagos a severe pounding. It was on the second trip of Anson's men to this city. Pfeffer was playing second base, and, by watching his movements, the home team could tell when the pitcher was about to deliver a ball out from the plate or in close to the batsman. The Chicago man changed his position too quickly. Radbourn asserts that his ill luck this season was owing to several clubs “getting on” to his signs. Radbourn and Clarkson both believe the pitcher is the man to work the batter, and not the catcher.
