Text	[Stars vs. Atlantics 10/18/1859] Oliver got safely round to the third base. Price then struck a foul ball, which struck the ground and fence, and bounded into Tracy’s hands. The umpire decided him out, and the ball sent to the pitcher, but not stopped. Oliver ran in [from] the third base, when Creighton [the pitcher] picked up the ball and sent it to Manly on the third, and everybody supposed that Oliver was, in consequence, also out; but, it appears, the umpire had called “time”immediately after the catching of the ball by Tracy, in order to ascertain whether his decision was in accordance with the established usages of the ground, and after a satisfactory explanation, Oliver was sent back to the third base, he having run after “time” was called and the play on both sides being void, and without effect.
