Page 4 has: "Base Ball" "Keeler Makes a Home Run With The Bases Full" "Brooklyn Wins An Exciting Game From the Philadelphia Team--the Visitors Fought To The End". In the summary it mentions that in the eighth inning there were three men on base and "Keeler came next, and landed on the ball for a 'homer' to deep left, clearing the bases." Keeler, of course, wasn't famous for hitting the 'long ball'. Great to see his name in a headline. A bit of minor edge chipping.
