Text	[Unions of Morrisania vs. Irvingtons 7/2/1867] Up to this point [five innings played] the game had occupied two hours, the umpire allowing the two pitchers to send in ball after ball, which ought to have been called. With such a plain rule as that of Section 6 before them, we cannot conceive how umpires can be so lax as some are in properly interpreting it and strictly enforcing what the rule expressly requires them to do in so many words. New York Sunday Mercury July 7, 1867 [same game] The umpire, Mr. McKeller, of the Harlem Club, was the most silent man on the field, and kept his place while ball after ball was sent in the wildest kind of style, about as apt to hit the striker or go behind him, as over the base.
