Text	[Eckford vs. Eureka of Newark, 9/13/1861] [Northup of the Eurekas at second base]. Anxious to avail himself of all the chances, Northup seized the first favorable opportunity to run for the third base, and started for it. The ball was there, however, as soon as he–notwithstanding he adopted the sliding scale motive to avoid it. By accident, he raised his foot from the base while the ball was yet in the hands of Grum, who, of course, immediately touched him, and demanded judgment, which the umpire promptly pronounced in favor of the ball, and the second hand (Northup) was declared out. This decision, though manifestly just, was in direct antagonism to the feelings of the “outer circle,” and was responded to by a general hiss, which, however, had not effect upon the invincible “Peter,”[Pete O’Brien] who knew he was right.
