Text | [Troy vs. National 5/26/1879] [Troy ties the game in the top of the tenth] After the Nationals had obtained the winning run in the tenth inning, Bradley suddenly came to the conclusion that it was too dark to play any longer, although it was only half-past six o’clock; and after a short parley with the League umpire, who declined to call game, Bradley positively refused to play, and, throwing down the ball, called his nine from the field and left the ground. Common sense might have told Bradley, whether he played or quit, that, under the rule, the victory would go to the Nationals, they being ahead on even innings at the time playing ceased, and that this childish exhibition of bad feeling would only render him unpopular. |
