Text | In the Providence-Troy game Sept. 25 Connor and Caskins were on first and second, and while they were playing off the bags “Time” was called by the umpire, for some reason or other. When play was called both of them failed to step back and touch the base and Bradley purposely pitched a wide ball to coax them to run. They ran down to second and third, whereupon the ball was promptly fielded to those bases, and it was claimed that both men were out. The umpire, correctly decided that both men were entitled to the bases they had stolen. Hines, however, was decided “out” by the umpire in the Providence-Cleveland game for not touching his base after play was called. |
