Text | [Providence vs. St. Louis 7/3/1885] With one out Irwin was given first on balls. Gilligan hit a long safe hit for two bases, and the ball was quickly fielded to Dunlap, who threw to Briody. At the time the throw was being made, Denny, who was coaching, started towards the home plate, running inside of the foul line, say six or eight feet ahead of Irwin, passing in front of Briody just as the ball neared him, and clearly preventing him from getting the ball, Irwin in the meantime scoring. [Umpire] Cushman decided Irwin safe, as he was bound to do, and fined Denny $25, which, under the circumstances, was the best he could have done, as the interference was not that of the run. |
