[Allegheny vs. Athletic 5/24/1884] Mr. Brennan, the umpire yesterday, disregarded one of the strictest rules of the Association in allowing Fox to throw the ball above the shoulder. Captain Stovey requested the umpire several times to enforce the rule, but he refused to do so. Why this refusal to enforce the rule we cannot very well understand, especially as Mr. Brennan has so far shown himself well versed in the rules. The Philadelphia Item May 25, 1886
