Text	Joe Gerhardt will try a new plan of umpiring this afternoon. He will take a position in the center of the diamond, just back of the pitcher's position, instead of standing at the home, as is the usual custom. Cincinnati Enquirer October 19, 1883 The cricket style of umpiring is being tried, the umpire standing in the field just beside the pitcher. Kelly, Gerhardt and Harry Wright have tried it. It has its advantages and also its disadvantages. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican October 20, 1883 The umpire-behind-the-pitcher scheme was tried in Cincinnati on Sunday and was a failure.
