[Athletic vs. Mutual 9/18/1873] [Hatfield at third base with one out] Nelson followed, and he hit a hot bounder to Anson at first base, and Hatfield ran for home; but Clapp [catcher] was close to the base to receive the ball from Anson, and John [Hatfield] hesitated. In the meantime Anson, disregarding Nelson, kept Haptfield back, and just as Nelson was about to make his base, Anson touched first, the second man was out, and still no run in, the play being excellent.
