Text | [Empire vs. Atlantic 7/9/1864] The decisions of the umpire were characteristically fair and impartial, but he erred in ignoring the sixth section of the rules–the pitchers on both sides taking advantage of his laxity in this respect to try their hands at the old style of trying to intimidate the batsman, by pitching at him, instead of for him–Pratt especially. On this account, the game was lengthened nearly an hour, and much good fielding lost sight of. |
