[Chelsea vs. Arlington 7/16/1874] [from a letter from the Chelsea secretary] The Arlingtons...then went in for their eighth inning. They had a player on third and one on second base, and two hands out, when the striker hit to the Chelsea pitcher, who fielded the ball to the catcher. He held it, waiting for the player on third, who had started to run home, the catcher putting the ball on him as he came to the plate, the ball being knocked out of his hand by the runner. The umpire decided the player not out. As this was the fourth glaring decision against the Chelseas by the umpire, the Chelsea captain took the nine off the field, refusing to play any longer with an umpire who was either prejudiced or sadly deficient in the rules of the game.
