Text	In the ninth inning in one of the New York games Glasscock tried to play one of his famous tricks, but was nipped in the bud; with two men out and Hines and Seer on the bases, the foul ball that was knocked over the fence had been returned. At first Umpire Lynch did not see it, but the Hoosier captain slyly walked over, and while pretending to scratch his leg, picked up the ball and put in his pocket. The ball then in play was knocked out of the lot, and a call for a new one was made. The New Yorks objected, but the old sphere could not be found. One of the crowd then informed Lynch where it was, and Glasscock was compelled to hand it over after a dispute. He then turned to the informer and said: “You came in here to see the game, not to interfere in it,” but the crowd laughed at him.
