[picked nines New York vs. Brooklyn 7/20/1858] Wright then took the bat, and Van Cott attempted to run to the second base. The ball being quickly passed down, he was headed off, and made tracks again for the first base, but the ball was there before him; turned again toward the second, and was again headed off; and was thus kept between the two points, till, in their anxiety to put him out, the ball thrown to Holder on the second base was missed by him, and Van Cott, amidst tumultuous applause, reached that port in safety. Hoy, in the meantime, completed his run.
