[Hartford vs. Cincinnati 6/29/1876] The strategy with which York perished at his hands on the seventh inning brought the spectators down with a storm of applause. York made a base-hit to right. Jones fielded the ball to Fisher, who went out to receive it. He slipped it down his loose sleeve and walked back to his position at short-stop, rubbing his hands innocently together. Dean [pitcher] was standing in his position, and York, thinking he held the ball, stood a few feet from first base watching him. Before he was aware of it, Fisher had thrown the ball to Gould [first baseman], who touched the puzzled York off the base, and retired the side.
