Description

"Mills reached his first base by a good hit to right field, but was put out at second base by F. Seinsoth, the play being a double one, as Stout hit the ball to P. O'Brien at short field, he forwarded it to second, and Seinsoth to first, the latter cutting off Stout's career at first base..."
