[Jack] Corcoran, who caught for Brooklyn yesterday, wore one of the elongated liver-pads. As a chest-protector they are a success, and despite what an old fogy said about them not many moons ago, when the Nationals were here, Corcoran and his liver-pad were lively enough to sneak a ball to second ahead of John Reilly, one of the Cincinnatis' best runners.
