[Boston vs. Chicago 8/29/1878] Leonard got to first on an error of Start's and to second on another passed ball, when the crowd lost patience and called in uproarious tones, “Harbrdge! Harbidge!!” Ferguson immediately removed his mask and beckoned Harbidge in from the field. The old catcher quietly donned the gloves, and the very first ball that Larkin sent in let it pass him, while Leonard slid up to third.
