[in Answers to Correspondents] What is the meaning of 'short stop' in the game of base ball? I can find nothing concerning it in the rules of the New York or Massachusetts game.

...Short stop is the point in the centre of a triangle, of which third base, pitcher, and second base are the corners and requires an able and active fielder to fill it.
