Text | [Providence vs. Chicago 7/6/1880] Corcoran hit for a base, and on a clever steal to second committed one of those atrocities which we heard so much about from the Providence and Boston papers a few weeks ago, that is to say, he ran into Farrell, who stood on the line in his way, and knocked that unassuming young man off his pins, and he dropped the ball as it was thrown by Gross. We call that good base-running here in Chicago. A runner has the right of way on the path, and a fielder has the right to stand on the path to receive a ball if he wants to, but he mustn't grumble if he gets run into and tipped over in so doing. |
