Text	[Hamilton vs. Toronto 9/7/1887] [Wright on first base] Shepard was pitching for Toronto, Bob Emslie umpiring and Mike [Mansell] was coaching for the Hams. A foul ball was driven into left and returned, was thrown to Shepard, who stood within the lines of his position and waited for Decker to don his mask. Quoth Mike to Shepard:--”Trow me the ball, Shep!” Shep obliging “trew” it; Mike “let 'er go” and told Wright to run home, which he did. A lurid kick went up from Jay Fantz, who is quite a captain, of course upon the point that Shep was out of the box. But Emslie let Wright's run in and it won the game.
