Date	Sunday, September 9, 1883
Text	[Columbus vs. Athletic 9/7/1883] Michael Walsh, of Louisville, who umpired the Athletic-Columbus game at Twenty-sixth and Jefferson streets yesterday, was struck full in the face by a foul tip from Smith's bat in the fourth inning and knocked senseless. … One strike and three balls has been called when Smith struck a sharp foul, which shied over rowen's crouched form, barely grazing his mask. Mr. Walsh, who was directly in line behind and without a mask, was kncoked over as through shot and lay as one dead. Water and liquor were hurriedly fetched and a physician sprang over the grand-stand fence and came to the unfortunate man's assistance. The umpire was soon seized with convulsions, and his unconscious struggles were piteous to see. Then his limbs became rigid, and as he was carried off the ground many present were fearful for his life.
