Tuesday, April 25, 1876 at Philadelphia Centennials (3-7 tied for 6th place in the Liberty League)

Philadelphia is a lot better team than they have shown so far. In the Spring practice games they had more wins than anybody. John Callaham was 12-3 in the Spring with a 1.80 ERA. Last season in the final year of the National Association we was 35-17 with a 2.02 ERA. He is due for a good game, but I hope he waits until his next start to have it.

John Bendickson, Troy (24 R 6-2 0.97) vs John Callaham, Phil. (27 R 0-3 4.19)

Won - 13 to 4

Man, I tell you, it's a good thing there are other guys on this team besides me. I had a rough go of it today. First I made an error, which got my goat, because after making 5 of them in the first 3 games of the year I had gone 7 in a row without one until today. Then I got thrown out at home and then I got picked off at first base. But luckily we have other guys who can actually play some ball on the team and they won this one. Guys like LF John Hagadorn who had 4 hits, scored twice and had 4 RBIs. Bendickson did not have a particularly overwhelming game in the box today, but at the plate he had 4 hits, knocked in a run and scored 3 times. We had 20 hits as a team, our season high so far, only one of them by me.

Other Games:
Washington (7) at Pittsburgh (8) - George Dennis (1-3) over William Cunningham (3-1). C Ben White had 4 hits with a triple, scoring twice and knocking in the winning run in the bottom of the 8th.

St. Louis (7) at Boston (4) - Roger Lake (3-0) over William Rose (0-4). Lake held Boston to 7 hits and had 3 with his bat, knocking in a pair of runs.

New York (15) at Chicago (5) - Charlie Moss (4-6) over Dick Wheeler (0-2). The Mets pounded out 21 hits and Chicago made 11 errors. Charlie Moss had 3 of them, scoring twice and knocking in a pair. C Willie English had 4, plus a walk. He scored twice and had an RBI.

Down in the International Association, 1B Sol Popko took the day off, but pinch-hit in the 10th and got another double and scored the winning run for Syracuse. I am wanting his bat up here, but Tom Stanley's doing a good job for us.
