The “Buckeyes” have about given up the ghost, or in other words have abandoned their grounds to their creditors. The stockholders having been sued by the men who had erected their improvements, and the skating season having proved a flat failure, and the rents of the ground having more than swallowed all other income, the stockholders filed an answer asking for a receiver to take charge of the whole matter and assess them equitably. The Buckeye Ball Club may still hold together, but it will lose its former position, as a matter of course. New York Clipper March 27, 1869

the pitcher should automatically cover home plate when a man is on third

If a man is on third base, he [the pitcher] should invariably follow the ball immediately on delivery. New York Clipper April 3, 1869
