Text	[Excelsior vs. Atlantic 8/9/1860] [Brainerd on third base, Reynolds on first] Flanly then struck a ball, which touching the ground inside of the foul line, bounded far off into the foul district, and had started for first base, while Reynolds ran to the second, when some outsider called “foul,” and Reynolds immediately returned from the second to the first base, where Flanly also remained, but off the base. In the meantime, the ball was quickly fielded by Matty [O’Brien], and by him thrown to Price, who touched Flanly with the ball, and passed it to the second base; and judgment being demanded, the umpire decided that the ball struck by Flanly was fair, and that both hands were out–Flanly on the first base, and Reynolds on the second, it being his business to vacate the first base–“a fair ball having been struck, and not caught flying, nor on the first bound.” This was a very bad go for the Excelsiors, but strictly “according to Gunter.
