Text | [from Chadwick's column] Never was a rule made which is more necessary to the welfare of the game than that empowering the umpire to order from the field a player or captain of a team who offensively disputes his decisions. The only fault in connection with it is that it has not been enforced often enough. The Sporting Life September 25, 1889 [editorial matter] How potent for good the rule empowering the umpires to suspend obstreperous players from the field can be made was illustrated on last Sunday in Brooklyn. Had Captain Shannon, of the Louisvilles, not been removed from the game for his insolence to Umpire Goldsmith, his club would undoubtedly have won the game, as his substitute's errors lost it. With a little more backbone in the enforcement of this rule, clubs will soon tire of losing games by means of suspensions, and themselves take offending players in hand.
