Text	[Cincinnati vs. Atlantic 6/14/1870] Pearce was at 1st, which he had reached by one of those “fair-foul” hits, as they are called, viz.: by hitting the ball close to the base so that it bounds to the foul ball ground back of third base...this style of hitting almost always ensuring 1st base, though it is not a showy style of batting...
