Text | Says the New York Sun of Thursday:--”A new functionary is made necessary in the ball field through the dishonesty of certain players. What we want is an assistant umpire. On Tuesday, McGarr, of the Athletic Club, seeing the umpire looking in another direction, cut across the diamond on his way to third base, and was thus enabled to score a run, the umpire not having seen him. It is a well-known fact that McGarr has many distinguished precedents for such performances. The Hon. Michael Kelly, of Boston, was notorious in this way. But perhaps Boston did not know it when she shelled out $10,000 for him. |
