[Athletics vs. Baltimore 6/28/1872] Robert Ferguson, of the Atlantic, umpired the game. Two close decisions against the Athletics, and on one occasion, by standing behind the catcher, a passed ball struck his person, losing the Athletics one if not two runs, as a man was at third and another at second. His umpiring was, however, generally impartial.
