Date	Sunday, July 5, 1874
Text	In regard to the Hartford-Boston game, and the disputed decision of the umpire, it appears that after one hand was out in the last inning, and Harry Wright occupied the third and Hall the second, that Barnes hit a high ball to Pike, and as soon as it touched his hands both of the base runners instantaneously attempted to steal their bases, Pike fielded the ball home, but Fisher stopped it, and threw it to Boyd to cut off Hall, and the umpire decided Hall out, but declared Wright had made his run, the decision according to Harry Wright, being in the following words, he had crossed the home plate, and the run counts.” The run, however, did not count, unless Wright had crossed the home plate before Hall was put out, and it is only reasonable to suppose that Wright, being a slower runner than Hall, could not have reached the home plate before Hall was put out.
