[Pittsfield vs. Utica 6/25/1878] Latham, one of the Uticas, stole second, sliding eight feet and tearing his stocking and the skin from his leg. This he followed by stealing third, performing another famous slide, and this time carrying away the ampler portion of the garment that marks the dividing line between the sexes. The ball was thrown over third and Latham ran home with the vest ventilated uniform ever seen on the diamond.
