[Boston vs. Philadelphia 10/19/1874] The Philadelphias would not consent to Dean acting again as umpire, as he was entirely too lenient in the two preceding games, and McMullin, of the Athletics, was consequently selected to fill that position, and his strict interpretation of the rules made Spalding pitch less wildly, and, therefore, he was easily punished.
