[a letter from umpire W. E. Furlong to Nick Young] “In yesterday's game I fined Fred Goldsmith, of the Chicago Club, five dollars for calling out to one of the players of the Boston Club to take a fly ball, for the purpose of preventing the ball from being caught. I thought that Goldsmith was the man who called out, although after the game Sutton, of the Boston nine, told me that it was somebody else in the crowd, and not Goldsmith, who did it. Please let me know whether under the circumstances the fine should be remitted, and I will then inform Captain Anson.
