[Cincinnati vs. Mutual 6/15/1869] Leonard, the first striker, got to first on a muff of Eggler's; but starting for second at the wrong time he found himself flanked by E. Mills and Hatfield, to the former of whom Wolters had passed the ball. Leonard was in a bad spot; but he dodged backwards and forwards between Mills and Hatfield, who were closing on him coolly but surely. He was close to Hatfield when the ball was passed to Mills, and, thinking himself safe, he darted past Hatfield to gain second, but Eggler had posted himself there, as Hatfield and Mills had faced him. The ball was passed to Eggler; Leonard darted back again to Hatfield, and by him passed to Mills, who touched the young red-legger, and placed a quietus on him, amid the laughter and applause of the spectators.
