Text	[Philadelphia vs. Washington 5/8/1873] In the sixth inning Mr. Young [the umpire] made a decision which was unimportant in its bearing on the game, but deserves criticism. Hines and Holly had made good hits, and were on the second and first, when Stearns came to the bat and made three strikes–the last held for a moment by Malone, who then dropped it; but, missing the play he had intended to make, he threw to third, thus cutting off Hines, but Mr. Young decided the striker out. In the confusion, Hines, a little dazed, was caught between bases by Addy and Meyerle, and the ball put on him, while Holly reached second safely. Mr. Young ordered them back to their original bases, with what warrant we are unable to say, and Steans only was given out.
