[Brooklyn vs. Columbus 5/25/1889] At the last meeting of the joint committee on rules it was unanimously resolved to give the umpire the protective power of removing any player from the field and the game who, after being fined for violating the rule against disputing an umpire's decision, should continue to repeat the offense. In the case in question, Orr offensively disputed Umpire Goldsmith's decision, and he was justly punished for it by a fine. He again offended, and when threatened with the more costly penalty he impudently defied the umpire to do his duty and enforce the law to the full extent, threatening personal injury if he did so. Goldsmith then did his duty manfully and kept to his decision, Orr being put out of the game.
