[discussing the proposed rules] 5. The umpire shall render no decision in the game except when appealed to by a player, unless expressly required to do so, by the rules of the game, as in calling “balls,” “fouls,” etc.

Unless prevented by a rule of this kind, umpires would frequently render decisions unasked, by which they might materially assist one side at the expense of the other.
