Text	Next comes Charles Sweezy, one of the very best of second basemen. Charley is a splendid fielder, an accurate thrower, and sure at flies. ... He covers a large space...and can render the same too dangerous to bat to. National Chronicle June 5, 1869 He [Al Reach] covers a large space around the [second] base, but no more than he can manage. Now, this latter expression needs explanation, for there are several basemen who endeavor to imitate that paragon of second basemen–Al. Martin, of the Unions, in covering a large space. Now, both Martin and Akin (who played short), were extremely active and quick runners, and would support one another effectively, thus allowing Martin to play farther from his base then he could with a less active short. Now, Reach does not attempt this, but covers just as much as he can by vigorous work manage to render dangerous. National Chronicle June 12, 1869
