Radcliff’s catching we have never seen excelled, but he lacks the ability to throw accurately and swiftly to bases, and player who are moderately sharp runners, can steal from first to third with impunity. In fact, in the game of Monday and Tuesday, 17 or 18 bases were stolen easily, and but one man–Martin–put out–and he did not start from first until Radcliff was about to lay hold of the ball. Philadelphia City Item August 31, 1867, quoting the N.Y.
