Plunkett also served as the &ldquo;arbiter and referee&rdquo; for the game. This apparently gave him the task of making on-field rulings when the two umpires, one from each college, couldn&rsquo;t agree on a call, which was often. The baseball club, in addition to securing a playing field, sponsored a post-game banquet at which the college players were guests. The club was aided by the Pittsfield Chess Club, which made its rooms available for a match between chess players from Williams and Amherst. Williams had insisted on this &ldquo;double header,&rdquo; perhaps to give it a chance for an even split on the day, but Amherst captured this contest, also.</p></ins></div></td></tr>
