[Concord vs. Atlantic 4/6/1872] Mr. Bass acted as umpire, and committed but few mistakes in calling balls, the principal error being his allowing unfair balls to go by uncalled. Every ball expressly stated in the rules to be unfair must be called in the order of its delivery, even if in succession. The umpire has no option but to do this or willfully violate the rules.
