[Mutual vs. Atlantic 6/28/1869] Smith tipped once or twice, and as Mills was playing close up to the bat the ball went over his head each time. But, at last, Smith tipped not quite so much, and mills picked the ball from the bat with astonishing celerity. The tip and catch sounding like “click clack.” This play was the signal for cheers from the Mutuals' friends, aided by all the admirers of fine play present.
