Text | [Lowell vs. Excelsior 7/21/1865] Col. Fitzgerald acted as Umpire, and had several very close points to decide. The Colonel's integrity is fully established, and of course no one would for an instant charge him with favoritism. An Umpire sees the play from an entirely different standpoint from the outside spectator, and render his decisions as he sees and believes it. If the Colonel would render his decision without essaying explanations therefor to the players who are the sufferers, it would be even better. It is an unthankful position, and deserves more charity than censure. |
