[Athletic vs. Baltimore 5/20/1872] In the third innings of the Athletics Mack commenced with a fine fair-foul hit for one base, but running to second he was decided “out” by the Umpire, Craver fielding the ball and in a loud tone of voice asking “how’s that?” The decision, however, was plainly an erroneous one, as Pike never touched Mack, and like an honorable player as he is, never asked for “judgment,” and afterwards told the Umpire that he had made a mistake, if such it could be called. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury May 26, 1872

[Athletic vs. Baltimore 5/20/1872] Treacy, for the Athletics, hit to Pike, who stopped the ball well, but threw it so wildly that Mills, to get it, was obliged to step off his base, and before he got back Treacy was there, or thought to be. The umpire was appealed to, who decided Treacy out, much to the latter’s surprise. He took a back seat, however, when the decision was announced. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch June 2, 1872, quoting the Clipper
