Text	[Chicago vs. Pittsburgh 4/25/1889] Anson ran up to the plate to make a kick about what he termed Beckley's interference with Flint. When he was talking to Lynch umpire] Gumbert, who held the ball turned around at face Maul [runner at second]. The latter invited him to “throw it here<' and he accommodatingly made the throw. Maul let the ball pass him and bolted for home, which he reached before Ryan could field the ball and get it to the plate. Anson did not realize what was going on until the run was scored. Then he began to inquire how the ball got out to centrefield. Gumbert answers: “I thought the umpire had called time, and threw the ball to Maul when he asked me to.” The spectators became almost hysterical over the performance. When Lynch overruled Anson's claim of interference and the Captain walked back to his position, looking at the ground as he went, the crow indulged in another violent outburst.
