Text	[Boston vs. Troy 5/9/1871] The accident occurred during the sixth inning. A fly ball was struck to the left field, about half way between George Wright [the short stop] and Cone [the left fielder], which both started for, and as they neared each other George sang out, “Let me take it.” The noise of a passing train of cars prevented Cone from hearing distinctly, and just as he had dropped on one knee and had the ball in his hand, George collided with him on a full run, striking his right leg about half way between the knee and ankle on Cone’s knee, which compelled him to retire from the game. The force of the collision knocked the ball from Cones hand, and two men, Bellan and Craver, scored runs. He cannot bear any weight upon his right leg, and he had to be carried from the cars to a carriage, and was taken to Harry Wright’s residence, at the Highlands.
