[Excelsior of Norristown, Pa., vs. Keystone 9/4/1869] Kulp made three home runs, and should have been credited with four, but was very singularly put out on the home base after making a heavy hit to left field. Kulp touched the home plate in advance of Weaver, who had preceded him, and the umpire [McMullin of the Athletics], on appeal, decided Kulp “out,” for failing to touch his base in the regular order of striking. This is the first decision we recollect seeing under section first of rule fourth.
