[Unions of Morrisania vs. Nationals of Albany 7/8/1867] Akin sent a safe ball to centre-field, and got to the first; then, depending on his nimble legs, stole to the second, but was almost caught as Cantwell threw nicely to Ross, and the latter held it well, but just late enough to have allowed Akin to have touched the base; but he running over it, came near losing again, and would have been out but for his quickness in reaching for the bag.
