In a 1920 reminiscence veteran players describe working out a double stealing tactic with Barry and Metrnis, detailing a failed throw that knocked Bush over, a controversial call by umpire Sheridan after a chase at third, a rule change, and a later Detroit miscue that led to a unique double play. George Edward Waddell is noted as the writer.
