[Athletic vs. Baltimore 5/28/1889] ...Stovey was on the coaching line at third base when Larkin cracked out what appeared to be a hit directly over third base, but the ball bounded foul just beyond the flag. Gaffney did not give any sign of life until Larkin was near second. Stovey was so intensely disgusted that he that he turned toward the umpire and with face turned away expressed his feelings by turning the palms of his hands towards Gaffney and waving him off. This was too much for the umpire. “Ten dollars for that,” he called out.
