Text	The Baltimores lost a game to the Cincinnatis recently, owing to Goldsby’s failure to touch second base when he made his fine triple into left field. Mullane saw that the runner failed to touch the base and accordingly made the claim which was allowed by Gaffney. The latter in speaking of the incident after the game, remarked “I saw that Goldsby did not touch the base yet I would not have declared him out had not the claim been made by one of the Cincinnati players. Time and time again base runners fail to touch the bags yet it is seldom the opposing side makes the claim. In the excitement of the moment they fail to watch their chances, and thus many a game is won and lost. Had Mullane overlooked Goldsby’s failure to touch second the Reds would have had one less victory to their credit.
