Umpire Sullivan gives a poor excuse for the blunder he made in Philadelphia, in deciding a base runner out, who was forced off his base on balls. Sullivan says the man tried to steal the base before he called the sixth ball, and in consequence thereof he was a base runner; but good common sense would tell the idiot that the runner was entitled to second base the moment he gave the batsman his base on the sixth bad ball.
