...base-hit to right field, stole second base, and was left there. For the Bostons, Wright got his first on called balls, stole his second, and came home on a passed ball. In the second inning Thayer made a hard base-hit, and scored his run before the third man was out. The Bostons failed to score in this inning.

We are ignorant of the reasons for this most extraordinary enactment; it looks like wanton oppression. Neither are we informed as to the nature of the "theme and forensic...
