Text	[Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh 7/2/1886] On the last strike Carroll caught the ball rather quick and observing Clinton away from his base threw to the ball Whitney[3b]. Arthur touched Clinton and Curry declared him out. The Baltimores, particularly Clinton, howled against the decision, claiming that he was on his base. Warm words were bandied all round. It was extremely close business to decide upon, but the public verdict seemed to be that Curry was right. The dissatisfaction of Barnie’s men, however, grew stronger and Frank walked off the grounds, leaving the players to settle it among themselves. Considerable time was wasted in selecting another umpire. After all qualified persons had refused the office, Jimmy Galvin came to the rescue and proceeded to work by calling Brown out on strikes. Tom remarked, “Galvin is rotten,” but “Jeems” only responded with a smile.
