[St. Louis vs. Chicago 10/18/1886] Latham started in the first inning with Kelly’s trick of bunting fouls. When, after knocking ten of these he struck out, the crowd howled its approval. When the Chicagos went to bat and Kelly’s turn came he bunted four or five fouls and then, when the crowd had begun laughing heartily, he hit the ball hard enough to get his base, and the laugh turned to cheers.
