Text | Eggler last week played a neat point on the Bostons. A base-runner was on third base, when a high ball was hit to Eggler at centre field. In preparing to catch it he placed his hands in such a way that the ball would rebound from them in the air. The base-runner seeing the ball caught, as he supposed, ran for home. Eggler then took the ball on the fly as it came down, and, passing it to Richardson at third, put the base-runner out, the latter being obliged to return to the base on the fly-catch. Fisher once played this point well while at centre-field in a match at Brooklyn in 1876. |
