BUNT



BARNHART'S DICTIONARY OF ETYMOLOGY has 1889 for a baseball "bunt." Paul

Dickson's BASEBALL DICTIONARY has 1888 and 1891.

This is from SPORTING LIFE, 2 June 1886, pg. 2, col. 3:



Arlie Latham quite captured the great crowd present by his good-natured

antics, and was cheered as he left the field. Every one knows Latham's great

feat is to "bunt" the ball and beat it to first.



Latham was famous for this. His St. Louis Browns were champions in 1886.

I don't know how Dickson could miss it.
