Text | [Atlantic vs. Athletic 5/31/1873] Quite an excitement was caused in the Athletic pavilion, on the 3d inning, by a reply which Ferguson made to some sneering remarks from the crowd on the left of the pavilion. Ferguson said: “You fellows are all Athletic; you never give any club a fair show when they come to Philadelphia. You want the umpire all one way, and when he decides against you, as you think, your brats of boys and young sports try to get him on his ear by all sorts of sneering remarks. This is ungentlemanly, and you ought to know better.” Ferguson was not to be put down, and he chafed the crowd until he gave each bullyrag a bellyful. |
