Spalding is certainly not one of the most difficult pitchers to bat; his style has gone out of date, the same as has Zettlein’s. the successful pitchers of the day are the swift throwers, Devlin and Bond, for example. Nearly all the prominent ball players of the country have been batting Spalding for years, and have outgrown him. That he has the head-work for the place, no one can deny, but speed has grown to be as necessary as head-work, and that he has not., quoting the Chicago Times
