[Forest City of Rockford vs. Atlantic 5/31/1870] ...when [the Forest City] had bravely crept ahead of the Brooklynites, the latter resorted to the mean, barefaced dodge of waiting–taking advantage of the reprehensible leniency of the umpire–to worry the pitcher or get a base on three balls..., quoting the New York Herald 6/1/1870
