...the idea of getting two reputable citizens and one scalawag made umpires originated in St. Louis, and was quickly adopted by Louisville. Then both cities induced the reputable citizens to withdraw, and both utterly refused to have any one but the other fellow umpire the games. He was paid by the home club, and generally earned his money.
