Date	Saturday, October 2, 1869
Text	[Haymakers vs. Atlantics 9/29/1869] Start was a first base when Smith batted to right short; Bearman [the second baseman] fielded the ball nicely, but Start played a smart point of not running to second. This balked Bearman, and he ran up to touch Start, who kept backing from him, so that Smith succeeded in getting to the base safely. Had Bearman thrown the ball to Powers [the short stop], who had taken second, and who could have passed the ball back to McAtee [the first baseman], there was every probability of a good double play. ... The same was played by Start in the next innings, but Bearman recollected himself and instead of chasing Start up, he threw to McAtee, who putting the striker out, and then threw to Powers to head Start off, but throwing wildly the latter was saved and subsequently made his run.
