Text	[Buffalo vs. Cincinnati 7/30/1879] ...Barnes made a characteristic play, such as belongs to the old-timers alone, and which greatly entertained the crowd. The visitors had only one out, one man had scored and Clapp was a second base and Hornung on first. Galvin batted a fly, which came down to Barnes, within ten feet of second base; the runners held their bases. Barnes took in the situation at a glance, and letting the ball hits his hands on the open palms, he broke its force. It fell to the ground at his bat [sic: should be “feet”], and before any body saw what he was about he had picked it up, ran and touched Clapp and put his foot on second base, forcing out Hornung. This retired the side, and, maybe, saved several runs.
