[St. Louis vs. Boston 7/21/1875] Perhaps the most extraordinary occurrence of the game was the capture of George Wright by a stale trick. In the first inning George had made a splendid hit for three bases, and the ball was thrown to Hague, who tucked it under his arm unobserved by George, and clapped it on him as he stopped off the base, supposing Bradley had it. It seems that this old truck has not yet outlived its usefulness.
