[Allegheny vs. Baltimore 5/11/1883] The Baltimore lost the game through what they consider a scurvy trick of Driscoll. Say, of the Baltimores, had scored, Clinton was on third, Kelley on second, and Reid, who was at the bat, made a foul. Driscoll got the ball and, while out of the pitcher's box, made a wild throw over third. The ruse worked charmingly. Clinton went home, Kelley took third, Battin returned the ball to Driscoll and Clinton and Kelley were both fielded out.
