Text | [New York vs. Chicago 9/8/1886] In yesterday’s morning game a wildly pitched ball went under the chairs to the left of the back stop, and was lost so long that Kelly went home from second on it. A little while afterwards, when McCormick was at second, another wild pitch sent the ball into the chairs on the other side. Deasley found the ball immediately, but pretended not to have done so. McCormick legged it to third and was pretty well toward home when Anson discovered that Deasley was trying to trick him, and yelled for him to go back. Mac couldn’t understand for a minute, but the crowd caught on and had lots of fun while the play lasted. Mac finally held third, and Deasley smilingly tossed the ball to Welch. |
