...rolled out toward Bewers, be tried to score. Carter was standing close to the plate, on the line towards third, and Hallowell reached him just as the ball did. Exactly what happened then, no one can tell, but the result was a very sad accident to Carter. Somehow he was struck full in the face, and the blow must have been terrific for it broke the cartilage in his nose, and sent him flying over backwards. In his fall he must have struck on the back of his head, for he lost all control of his reason...
