[Cincinnati vs. Atlantic 6/16/1869] Leonard sent a hot bounder towards first base, and everybody concluded at once that he was done for. He was not well done for, however, as “Old Reliable” actually turned his back to the ball and Leonard was saved. He soon went out, though, as he got a litle too far off the base and was obliged to start for second, but Pearce [first baseman] had sent the ball down to Pike [second baseman] and Leonard was put out.
