Text	[Indianapolis vs. Boston 9/3/1889] The Boston game is likely to be protested. It was won by an illegal decision, so the Boston papers claim. In the ninth Daly was at the bat and two strikes had been called on him. He stooped to rub his hands in the dust, and while he was doing this Madden pitched a ball directly over the plate and claimed the third strike. Umpire McQuaid refused to call either a ball or a strike and ordered another ball pitched. This ball Daly sent out into right field and brought in the two runs which won the game. It is a new point to settle. If batsmen are allowed to do what Daly did the door would be open to an endless number of tricks to bother the pitcher. The decision was illegal on the face of the Boston description of the play.
