[Chicago vs. Boston 5/28/1889] Johnston next hit to Burns. It was a hot one, but he stopped it, and Anson [first baseman] made a pretty pick up for a ball thrown a trifle low. The man was clearly out. Anson threw his gloves on the grass, as did the whole Chicago team. Even Bennett had his body protector unbuckled and Jonston had really turned to go to his position in the field when to everybody's surprise Barnum gave Johnston safe, and Bennett again resumed his mask and gloves.
