[Baltimore vs. Philadelphia 8/7/1873] The umpire gave Fulmer his base on called balls, and a singular series of misplays followed. Treacy made three strikes, and McVey missed the last in order to effect a double-play. He threw the ball splendidly to Carey, who missed it, and, instead of catching Fulmer, Charlie was soon trotting to third, where he would have been caught had not Radcliffe missed the ball sent to him by Carey. Fulmer got home, and Treacy to second.
