for nine-inning game are in doubt
whether they win have 10 fan twenty or
nineteen men to surpass Sweeny OF the
Providence Grays In Boston June z 1854
Baseball chroniclers always insisted that
ON this date Sweeny retired nineteen men
by the strikeout route, but an apparent
official score. pasted in one OF the many
scrapebooks owned by Arthur Irwin, scout
OF the lIighanders. would seem to indicate
that sweeny's record was eighteen strike
outs,
In the days Of 1854 It was customary
to award the pitcher an assist for every
man he breozed aud the score Of the game
In question gives swccny only eighteen
assists Until the official accountant Of
that game can produce his scorecard and
show that Swceny only famed nineteen

The best guarantee Of a mans hon
