[Eagle vs. Union of Morrissania 6/26/1860] We think, however, Mr. Liscomb [the umpire] made a mistake in questioning the players, in the second inning, when judgment was asked for, in regard to Mr. Pinckney at the third base. He should have decided promptly, in accordance with his first impression. Pondering adverse answers from two parties, both believing they were right, and deciding, as he had to, in favor of one, was a rather unpleasant reflection upon the veracity of the other. It is not necessary for the umpire to ask any questions; it is his judgment which is appealed to.
