Glasscock of St. Louis was caught by one of Kelly’s tricks yesterday. Williamson was on third and Kelly was coaching near the bag as usual. Burns drove a little grounder to Glasscock and Kelly started down the coaching line on a keen run. Glasscock thought it was Williamson trying to run in and put the ball home. Burns got to first all right, and as soon as Kelly saw the ball leave Glasscock’s hands he stopped running, smiled, went back to his coaching point, and the game went on. Glasscock said last night that if Gaffney had been the umpire he would have fined Kelly $25 for running inside the coaching lines, and would have declared Burns out at first. St., quoting the Chicago Tribune
