[Louisville vs. Cincinnati 5/8/1883] ...Becannon [umpire] made one of those rank mistakes of umpiring that so often turns the tide against the club, which suffers thereby. It was in the seventh inning. The visitors had been to bat, and the score stood three to four against the champions. Fulmer led off for the home club with a two base hit to right center, and by daring chance taking stole third clean and without a doubt. Browning got the ball after Fulmer had stopped upon the base. When Becannon called Fulmer in, nobody, not even the players, could realize that he had given it out for a while.
