[Enterprise vs. Gotham 6/6/1865] A Gothamite was on the 3d base, another on the 1st, and the striker at the bat. As is customary under such circumstances, the man on the 1st put for the 2d base, but he had mistaken O'Neil [the pitcher], who, quick as lightning, let the ball go the 2d, and quickly the Umpire exclaimed, “Out.” No more attempts were made to reach the base in that way.
