Text	[Louisville vs. Brooklyn 9/15/1889] Then ensued a regular Comiskey kick by Shannon, who, like many other captains, imagines the disputing of decisions which cannot be reversed the sole duty of captains. This fellow, however, acted like a regular loafer. He told Goldmsith that he had better go and put on a Brooklyn uniform, as he was working for them all the while. Mr. Goldsmith could not stand that. He had fined Shannon $20 for his insulting disputing of his decision, and after his second and worse offense he ordered him off the field. Shannon went to the bend and declined to go off the ground. “I’m off the field, ain’t I?” he said, but Goldsmith insisted upon his going off the grounds and threatened forfeiture of the game if his decision was not obeyed, and so the Newark rough had to leave and take off his uniform. ... While Shannon was kicking about the decision at the home base Foutz tried to steal third, but he was thrown out there by Tomney and Raymond.
