[Olympics of Washington vs. Unions of Lansingburgh 8/3/1868] In this game, a new feature was introduced, which pleased the spectators of the game so well that it will be continued hereafter. It is a white flag on which the word “Out” is painted in large letters. When a striker or any player is put out, and the decision of the umpire is announced, this flag is raised. So that hereafter, on a close decision, all may know the result.
