Text	[Athletic vs. Hartford 5/5/1874] Barlow, the first batter on behalf of the Hartfords, poked one in front of the home plate, and Clapp [catcher], fielding the ball to first base, struck the runner in the back... Philadelphia Sunday Mercury May 10, 1874 [Athletic vs. Chicago 5/13/1874] McMullin poked the ball down to his feet and earned his base. McGeary endeavored to do the same, and would have suffered an out if he had not, either purposely or accidentally, hit the ball as it bounded with his knee, thus knocking it far beyond the reach of Malone [catcher]. Philadelphia Sunday Republic May 17, 1874 [Philadelphia vs. Chicago 7/18/1874] Craver, after bunting the ball in front of the plate and reaching his base in safety, allowed himself to be caught napping by the ever-watchful Zettlein. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch July 26, 1874, quoting an unidentified Chicago newspaper [Baltimore vs. Chicago 8/26/1874] Meyerle made a fair foul bunt and took first. Chicago Inter-Ocean August 27, 1874
