[Athletic vs. Bloomington, Ill. 6/15/1868] The Athletics in this and the previous innings had shown how easily bases could be run. The Bloomingtons discovered also that they lacked accuracy, and were not in practice in this particular. They now ceased entirely from making any effort to prevent the Philadelphians, running the bases; every throw in the previous innings had told fearfully against them, and they saw that it was fruitless to stop the “Quakers” on that pace.
