A combined 20 errors in each of those games - wow.
35 in this game. 33 here.
After the July 3rd game, the Mutuals claimed the ball was not regulation, so they cut it open afterwards, and weighed the inner rubber, which turned out to be regulation weight. (1 ounce)
The NYT article also used the "whitewash" (shutout) term referring to individual innings:
"The Mutuals were whitewashed five times, and the Haymakers not once."
The only article I found about the June 28th game just had the linescore and said it was an extraordinary game, plus "a regulation dead ball was used."
