Text	[Cincinnati vs. Irvington 6/18/1869] A pretty play was made by which two men were put out. Stockman had made three strikes, and Allison, instead of catching the ball, hit it down and took it on the second bound. Then standing with his hands on his hips, he coolly gazed on the perplexed Jerseymen. Eaton was on second base and H. Campbell on first. They were, of course, obliged to leave, but did not exactly understand the situation. G. Wright called for the ball to second. Allison threw it there, when George instead of touching Eaton, touched the base and then passed it to Gould, thus putting out H. Campbell and Stockman. When the crowd finally came to understand the point they laughed and applauded to their hearts' content.
