Date	Sunday, August 18, 1889
Text	[New York vs. Pittsburgh 8/17/1889] ...an act of Buck Ewing's. He, when men were run bases, laid his mask on the home plate, and Miller ran on to it, injuring himself so much that he had to retire, and Sunday took his place. Ewing was hooted extremely for this, and he foolishly enough returned the compliment to the people who had no more sense than to do it. As a result there were yells sufficient tot urn the hairs of a young man gray during the balance of the game. In the sixth inning Ewing repeated the act when Beckley was running home, and again there was pandemonium.
