| Text | [Chicago vs. Indianapolis 5/25/1877] In the sixth inning, when Houtz was on first, Rocap hit a “corker” for two bases, and Houtz went round the bases and was coming for the home plate, where he would surely have been put out. There was no one at third to “captain” him. Nolan with quick thoughtfulness ran, bat in hand, and stopped Houtz on third. Houtz then came home on Warner’s hit. [Nolan was three batters later in the lineup] Indianapolis News May 26, 1877 cursing in St. Louis [describing fans in St. Louis shouting at players] The writer has heard a lot of boys and men who must have gone through the grand stand if they were honestly in the ground, shout out to John Glenn while he was running for a fly within a little distance of where they party stood, “God d–n your black soul to hell, drop that ball you — of a -----,” and then a moment after, when he was running for a foul, “You black-hearted — —, drop it or I’ll cut you in two.” Chicago Tribune May 27, 1877 [See also St. Louis Globe-Democrat 5/29/77 for a denial.] |
