In Friday's game Anson was on the third when Burns knocked a fly to Cahill at right field, the latter fielded it to catcher Myers, who had Anson ten feet, and instead of stopping or sliding, Anson went up into the air and threw the full force of his 210 pounds against George Myers' 150 pounds. Myers was knocked almost senseless ten feet or more away from the home plate, but pluckily held on to the ball, thus retiring the side.
