Text	[Boston vs. Eckford 8/4/1871] In this inning McVey [catcher] and Barnes [second baseman] played a very fine point against Swandell, which was the means of preventing his scoring a run for his side. He was on third base and Martin was on first, and when Martin started for second McVey threw the ball to Barnes ostensibly for the purpose of putting Martin out, but really to get Swandell to try to run in, when he would be put out on the home plate. Swandell, who was of course very anxious to score a run, started as soon as the ball had left McVey's hand, never noticing for a moment that Barnes had run up nearly to the pitcher's position, and the result was that the ball was passed back to McVey again before he (Swandell) could get home.
