| Text | [New York vs. Indianapolis 9/26/1889] The more Buck kicked, the worse grew McQuaid’s decisions, and Glasscock did not mend matters by trying to outtalk both the others. At last a ten-dollar climax was reached. Buck had begged McQuaid to act like a man as follows: “Put your eyes in the front of your head. Be a man or a monkey: don’t be a cross between the two.” “For heaven’s sake if you’re dumb say so, but don’t stand there like a mummy and say ‘a ball’ when you know it’s a strike.” “I don’t think you’re a robber, old man, but if this isn’t a case of petty larceny I never was out of jail.” Such remarks as these the umpire has listened to without a murmur, but later, when he told Andrews to sit down and the latter had proved that as one of two coachers he had a right to stand, Ewing said: “That’s right, Ed.: you don’t know much, but you’ve got more sense than this fellow.” This was too much even for the meek and mistaken McQuaid and he promptly stuffed a $10 fine into Ewing’s mouth, and the latter, in a measure, subsided. |
