[Philadelphia vs. Athletic 9/23/1874] An amusing incident occurred in the 5th inning: a brief delay was caused by Clapp asking for some one to “run;’ objection being made to Murnan, McGeary, and several others, Clapp finally said “I’ll run myself!” A great deal of laughter followed when he went out on an easy foul fly, and the crowd “rigged” him good humoredly.
