[Cincinnati vs. Mutual 6/15/1869] Eggler demonstrated very forcibly that he is out of his place at short field, and, owing to that fact alone, several chances for outs were lost. In the seventh inning, for instance, McVey hit a good ball to right field, and kept right on to the second base, as Hatfield [2B] had gone to field the ball in, and Eggler did not leave his place at short field to man the second as he should have done., quoting the New York Herald
