Text | [Athletic vs. St. Louis 8/16/1875] Pearce’s contemptibly shabby trick of refusing to allow any one to run the bases for Fisler led, as might be expected, to the latter’s retirement; in the first innings he having again sprained his ank.e, and this deprived the Athletics of one of their best batsmen and fielders, the conduct of Pearce in refusing to allow Fisler’s substitute in running the bases being an unprecedented act of discourtesy toward one of the brightest ornaments in the professional fraternity, and something that the captain of no other club would be guilty of. |
