Creighton injured

Date 1860
Text

[Empire vs. Excelsior 8/18/1860] Creighton, by over-exertion at cricket practice, the previous day, had so wrenched his side, that he was unable to take his position as pitcher, which was filled by Russell. New York Sunday Mercury August 19, 1860

Creighton’s first attempt to pitch showed him to be out of play in that respect, he having been practicing bowling recently... Wilkes Spirit of the Times August 25, 1860

umpire should call injury timeouts

Date Friday, October 6, 1871
Text

[Chicago vs. Boston 6/2/1871] Two strikes had been called upon Pinkham, when he struck at the ball and hit McVey on the arm, disabling him for some minutes, and as the umpire failed to call time Simmons and Duffy came in and Pinkham got to second. ... Whenever any accident occurs in the game to a player on either side, the umpire should promptly call “time.” In this case the Chicagos, availing themselves of every legal point, took advantage of the position, and got in two runs they were not fairly entitled to.
