[Eureka vs. Hartville, of Philadelphia 8/1/1872] The umpiring of Mr. Byram was the most unsatisfactory we have seen for a long while. First, he failed throughout the game to properly enforce the rule in regard to calling strikes and balls: we noted several instances where seven, eight, and even ten balls were pitched, and neither strike nor ball called.
