[Star of Syracuse vs. Auburn 5/6/1878] In the seventh inning one hand had been retired when Mansell, for the second time, batted the ball over the fence and made a clean home-run. The ball was fielded back into the Park after Mansell had reached home and sat upon the bench. The usual claim that bases had not been touched was made, and the ball was held on second base and judgment asked for. Mr. Woolin said: “Safe on second,” placing a suggestive emphasis on the last word. The hint was accepted and the balls was thrown to Fair, when the umpire called Mansell out., quoting the Syracuse Courier
