| Text | [Athletic vs. Louisville 7/4/1883] As the sixth inning was in progress O'Brien was prostrated by the heat and fell senseless at the home plate. He was carried off the field, and physicians were at once summoned. Everything that was possible was done for Jack, but he remained unconscious for several hours, and at one time we thought his case was hopeless. He recovered somewhat in the evening and to-day [7/5] is rapidly recovering. The members of the Louisville club have shown great solicitation over his condition and everything that was possible was done for him, Sam Weaver especially being very attention to his old catcher. The prostration of O'Brien made several changes necessary, Stricker going in to catch and Knight to second. Manager Mason, who had been holding down a seat in the grand stand, threw off his silk hat, put aside his seer-sucker coat, rolled up his pants, and took Knight's position in right, playing without an error and making a base hit.
