Text	[Cleveland vs. Chicago 7/30/1881] In this inning Dunlap and some one else on the bench were guilty of an unwarrantable piece of business: Glasscock popped up a fly back of second, and Burns went for it, supported by Quest. Just as he was about to take it, Dunlap and the other fellow, who was not distinguished, called out “Quest, Quest,” in order to confuse the fielders. Any directions to player on one’s own side, calculated to try the nerve of an opposing fielder, is legitimate, as nerve is one of the points of the game; but to undertake the captaincy of the opposing nine is entirely unwarranted and aside from all legitimate play.
