[Atlantics vs. Athletics 8/31/1868] Al. Reach, as usual, was the first striker on the Athletic side; he hit a hot bounder which Joe Start [the first baseman], in consequence of the wet grass, slipped in trying to stop, and the ball rebounding from his hands, was thrown wildly by Kenney [the second baseman] to Zettlein [the pitcher], who had run to the base to take the ball from Start, and Reach, therefore, reached his third base.
