Text	[Cincinnati vs. Forest City of Rockford at Chicago 7/31/1869] It was very evident to those who have any knowledge of the game of base ball, that the Ogden Park is a place very poorly adapted to first-class players of the game. It does not require a very strong batting to send a ball over the sand bank in the direction of the lake, or to knock it over the fence either in a north, south, or westerly direction. This leaves a fair margin for what may be termed “luck” in such a circumscribed place. As a consequence, before the game was commenced it was mutually agreed between the clubs that whenever a ball should be batted over the fence, or out of certain bounds in any direction, the striker could take no more than two bases for the same.
