[Cincinnati vs. Forest City of Rockford at Chicago 7/31/1869] cone popped up a short fly which Brainard went for, and, trying to make the double play successfully made in their recent game with the Mutuals of New York, purposely dropped the ball, but did not pick it up quick enough to cut off Barker at second and also lost the chance to put out Cone, who reached first.
