Text	[Cleveland vs. Metropolitan 4/18/1883] In the third inning, when Reipslager went to the bat, Daily the one-armed pitcher, delivered the ball before the umpire was in position to judge it on the call, high or low ball, and when Reipslager hit a high foul, and the ball was caught, he very properly made the play dead, greatly to the astonishment of the crowd. In the sixth inning, when Roseman was at the bat, Darby did the same thing, and this time a base hit was made, and it of course counted for nothing. Players should learn the important fact that the ball is not in play for delivery to the bat, firstly as in the beginning of a game or after a suspension of play, before “play” is called; and secondly, before the umpire is in position to judge the ball and has called “high” or “low” ball. The decision rendered by Mr. Lane in calling the ball dead, and the play which followed it null and void was a sound one, and it is well that it occurred in a practice match, so that it can be made a precedent for the championship contest.
