For home runs allowed, Total Baseball and online
sources show Jim McCormick with 4 and Bobby Mitchell
with 0. It appears only Palmer's encyclopedia has
McCormick 3 / Mitchell 1.

The pitching stats on the SABR site show McCormick
with 4, but if you click on the 4 to see the log, only
three are listed. Due to Mitchell's total being a
zero, you can't click on it. However, if you go to the
batting stats of John Peters and click on his 1879 HR
total, it will show his homer to be off Mitchell in
the 5th inning of the July 31 game.

The Chicago Daily Tribune of August 1, p. 5, mentions
Peters' homer in the fifth inning. It also mentions
McCormick playing the outfield before taking over
pitching at the start of the sixth inning. Therefore,
it appears the correct totals are McCormick 3 /
Mitchell 1.
