Text | [Chicago vs. Providence 8/13/1878] The seventh saw a glorious play for Paul Hines. Harbridge [sic: should be Ferguson] pulled a single-baser off Ward, and was stealing second as Hankinson drove the ball into the air. It looked safe, and Ferguson kept on. But Hines ran, reached out and caught the ball on the fly, and then chased Ferguson down the base line, hit5ting him on the back before he had got within ten feet of the first bag. Boston Herald August 14, 1878 Ferguson started the seventh with a base hit. Hankinson dropped a fly back of second base, which by a gigantic effort Hines caught; Ferguson was so sure that it was a base hit, he was half way to second; Hines was running at full speed and had a foot race with “Fergy,” catching him neatly, thus making a double play unassisted.
