[Eureka vs. Union of Lansingburgh 8/13/1867] The slow pitching of Abrams was very effective, yielding very few passed balls, and enabling Craver to stand so close to the bat as to render base stealing almost impossible. New York Clipper August 17, 1867

sharing the gate

[Mutuals vs. Atlantics on the Union grounds 8/12/1867] The charge for admission was 25 cents, and as between $1,500 and $1,600 was taken in at the door, the two clubs made a good thing out of it, each realizing a third of the amount, over $500 each. New York Sunday Mercury August 18, 1867
