Phelon in Baseball Magazine in 1915. “Ross Barnes, forty years ago, was as great as Cobb or Wagner ever dared to be. Had scores been kept then as now, he would have seemed incomparably marvelous.”

It was Orator Shafer and Silver Flint. The cops showed up to arrest them and Cap Anson stalled the cops until they could escape.
