[Washington vs. Chicago 8/15/1889] Although Mr. Williamson is “weak on his pins,” [following an extended illness] with the aid of a base runner he is able to render valuable assistance to the Chicago team. Yesterday he hit the ball safely four times out of five that he was at the plate, and his last hit brought in the winning run.

Anson did Williamson's running in the second, fourth, seventh, and ninth. In the fifth the captain was at second when Ed went to the plate and Tener had to do the sprinting act.
