Text | In the New York-National game last Saturday Baker neatly worked an old “chestnut trick” on O'Rourke. O'Rourke struck a ball through Gladman, and White, picking it up, fielded it to Baker at first, who held it. O'Rourke complained of lameness and desired a man substituted to run for him. Baker refused, and Barr made ready to deliver a ball to Connor, the next batsman. O'Rourke stepped off the base to run to second when Baker pounced upon him, and the great manipulator of balls was out, amid the jeers of the vast audience. |
