Text	[Atlantic vs. Mutual 7/4/1874] [Hodes reaches third as third baseman Burdock receives the ball; the umpire called Hodes not out, leading to a general argument] While this was going on, Burdock had quietly held on to the ball, and Hodes, forgetting the important fact, and seeing Matthews walk back to his position apparently ready to deliver the ball, walked off his base, and then Burdock touched him with the ball, and the umpire decided him out. On the principle that all tricks are fair in war, this was “a point to play;” but it did not raise Burdock in the estimation of the reputable portion of the spectators. When appals are made on decisions in regard to a reversal, or when any player is hurt, the umpire should promptly call time, so as to make the ball dead until the talk is over, or the injured player can resume his position. Twice this week have the Mutuals benefitted from the failure of the umpire to attend to this part of his duties.
