| Text | The Globe-Democrat in the report of Tuesday’s game says: “The game of hoodlums which usually infest the upper portion of the grand stand had some remarks to make on every decision that Quest made in the first few innings, whether it was good or bad. This so rattled him that his decisions in the remaining innings were not as good as they might have been. When he favored the Chicagos the crowd would open up on him, and when the Windy City people thought that they were getting the worst of it Anson, Kelly, Williamson, Pfeffer, and the other pets would set up a howl. With so much grumbling Quest scarcely knew what he was doing. ... There is a crowd of toughs present every day that make it their principal business to hoot and howl the umpire. The management should see that this nuisance is done away with, as respectable people who go out to witness the game are growing tired of it. It is an impossibility for an umpire to do good work if such a state of affairs is allowed to exist. |
