Date	Sunday, November 8, 1868
Text	In the Union and Eckford match, Friday, Goldie, the crack first-baseman of the Unions, was obliged to go into the field on account of a disabled hand. The accident by which he was laid up was rather peculiar. In the last Union and Mutual match, a swift ball was struck to George Wright at short-stop. On its way the ball picked up a splinter; and, when Wright threw the ball to Goldie at first-base, the splinter went through his hand just below the base of the thumb. Nevertheless “Old Reliable” caught the ball, and put out his man; but since then he has been in no fit condition for play, as his hand is swelled badly, and he is threatened with lockjaw.
