[Atlantic vs. Eckford 7/21/1862] Manolt on a right field hit secured his 3rd base... and Reach batting a foul ground, and Manolt, not hearing the Umpire's decision, but the ball being procured, was fielded to Smith [i.e. by O'Brien, the pitcher] on 3rd base, and the ball reaching there before Manolt, who had returned, put him out and closed the inning, amidst the cries of the outsiders, “Not out,” “Hold your base,” etc., which at one time caused such a tumult, that had not the players endeavored to appease the criticising public, a row seemed inevitable.
