Text	[Chicago vs. Lone Star of New Orleans 4/16/1871] [the bases loaded] Treacy popped up a fly to Leonard [Lone Stars pitcher], who made a muff of it for a double play, but becoming confused, instead of throwing it home to cut off Kind, he threw it wildly to second, King going home at once, and each runner advancing a base–no hand out. The umpire, however, decided Treacy out. This cause considered commotion, the Stockings claiming that the decision was unjust, and it certainly was, for if Treacy was out on the fly, then those running bases were also out, the ball having been passed by the pitcher to the basemen. This the umpire refused to allow, and ordered the game to proceed. During the commotion Hodes managed to get in, and both Foley and Simmons advanced a base.
