[Philadelphia vs. Boston 7/30/1873] An episode here ensued which caused considerable excitement for a time. Cuthbert, while waiting for a ball, had his bat struck by one from Spalding [pitcher], causing a seeming foul, which White [catcher] caught on the bound, and an appeal was made. Mr. Young decided the collision as accidental, and an uproar followed, which was hard to suppress. After a time, however, quiet reigned and the game continued.
