Text	[Athletic vs. Allegheny 6/2/1868] The Allegheny boys were anxious to have either Harry Graffen or Hayhurst for umpire, but both being members of the Athletic, that was ruled an impossibility. The Allegheny boys strenouously endeavored to carry their point, but Hayhurst was resolved, and could not be made to “see it,” just as it was hoped he would. A good, impartial umpire, one posted in the rules and points of the game, like Bomeisler, Graffen or Hayhurst, would prove of immense service to the Pittsburgh clubs at just this poin in their history. It is probable, though, that in any important matches they may have arranged as to the future, they will secure the services of one of the above professors. Henry Arden, of the Cincinnati Club, was finally prevailed upon to act, and did so satisfactorily to both parties.
