Text	[Eureka vs. Irvington 5/7/1867] The pitchers of both clubs were very swift, and their whole idea seemed to be to endeavor to send them in as swiftly as possible, regardless of accuracy, and as the umpire never called three balls at any one time, the pitchers and batsmen took full advantage of his weakness. Brooklyn Eagle May 8, 1867 [Eureka vs. Irvington 5/16/1867] Owing to a judicious choice of Umpire, those who witnessed the match yesterday between the Irvington and Eureka clubs, witnessed a good game. It seems strange that the difference between umpire should have had such a marked effect. Mr. Flanly of the Excelsior club of Brooklyn, was chosen Umpire in this game. He called balls and strikes in quick succession until the pitchers and strikers found that he was not to be trifled with, when they endeavored to pitch regularly. Brooklyn Eagle May 17, 1867
