Text	[Enterprise vs. Gotham 8/20/1861] [Earl of the Enterprise at first base:] Ibbetson made a splendid hit to right field, and ran for a home run, and before the ball could be fielded he was at his third and ready to run home, which he could have done, we think. Earl, however, who had preceded him, and had nearly reached his home base, was induced to turn back, under the supposition that Ibbetson’s hit was a foul ball, and also mistaking the notion of Chapman [of the Enterprise], who, with cap in hand, was calling to Ibbetson to “hurry up, hurry up,” which Earl thought was “go back, go back; consequently, he did go back, but being rightly informed, once more tried to get home, but was too late, and was put out by Cohen [the catcher] just as he reached the home base.
