Text | [Maryland vs. Atlantics 7/30/1869] Mr. Bass [of the Powhattan Club], the umpire in this match, is a good ball-layer, but his forte is not umpiring. He does not lack impartiality, but he is not posted in the rules, and his judgment is questionable. He did not call a ball in the game, and but one “called” strike. [The full nine innings took 2:25.] |
