| Text | In the Mutual and Baltimore match of last week Jose Start played it upon Lip Pike in a way that latter “despised.” In the second portion of the sixth inning Pike overran first base, and in passing it was touched by Start with the ball, but the umpire, Mr. Young, decided the player entitled to his base. Start, however, held on to the ball, and performed as clever a piece of base ball generalship as could be wished for. He argued with Pike that he had been put out, whereupon Pike left his base for the purpose of explaining how he had overrun the base; and no sooner had Pike stepped from the sand bag than the wily Start touched him with the ball, thus putting him out, and it was so declared by the umpire. It is not often Lip gets caught napping in this style. Addy was caught off second base in the Atlantic and Philadelphia match on Monday... Addy had reached second base safely on the ball being thrown by Ferguson to Burdock, but seeing Burdock standing apparently without the ball in hand, he stepped off the base, seeing which Burdock touched him with the ball, which he had quietly held. |
