June 19, 1899 - Detroit Free Press (Detroit, Michigan)- Kid Elberfeld Hit by Pitch
Outside of the. hitting of several members of both teams. Elberfeld, Stallings, McFarland and Allen particularly distinguishing themselves with the ash. the game was devoid of features, but It looked, for a time as though a foundation for big headlines would be laid after the last man had been retired. With two on. bases In the ninth Inning and Elberfeld at bat, the little fellow was hit by a pitched ball. It looked as. though he tried to get out of the way, but Umpire Sheridan refused .to: let him go to first base. An argument ensued and when play was resumed Hlckey beat down a hard drive that had al the marks of a base hit. throwing the Kid out at first and ending the game .A few wild-eyed fanatics made a run ln the direction of the umpire, and naturally the entire crowd surged in to see the excitement that promised. It was anything but a vicious mob, and surrounded by the players at both teams, Sheridan left the field In the very mldst of the crowd without being molested. When Cabanaw's was reached one venturesome Individual tried to force his way in and was. given a fistic rebuke by one of the Detroit players -an act that pleased the majority and was well merited.
The, fielding was good on such a rough diamond, Elberfeld, Dillard and Hlckey doing some clever work on the infield.
In the ninth McFarland's two-bagger, Elberfeld's error, and a long fly scored a run. Slater and Stallings made hits. In. the nlnth, then Shaw's grounder enabled the. Hooslers to make a double play. Frisk bit for-two bases, scoring Slater and Elberfeld's out at first ended the game.
