| Text | [Union of Morrisania vs. Mutual 9/3/1870] In the fifth inning Mr. Hatfield showed a very bad example by loudly and vulgarly disputing the umpire’s right to correct his decision, and manifesting a desire to know “what the –– was the use of an umpire.” The point in dispute was this: Eggler was at the bat, Hatfield on first base when Pabor pitched a ball at which Eggler struck, on the impulse of the moment the umpire called one strike, but hearing the ball tip the bat he shoulted “foul, out.” Birdsall then sent the ball to Pabor who threw it to Bearman, putting Hafield [out] who had run to, and was standing on the second. But this did not suit Mr. Hatfield who, while stealing to second base, heard the impuls[ive] shout “one strike,” and on the strength of the idea that he could bully the umpire into the belief that he could not recall his decision proceeded on the second and found himself out at above. |
