Text	[St. Louis vs. Toledo 8/30/1884] Quinn, the umpire, had acted most outrageously in the mroning and in the afternoon began his dirty work again, evidence in every way, shape and manner, that he intended to visit upon the St. Louis club the dislike he has all along evidenced toward Charlie Comiskey (whom he had fined in the morning) and other members of the team. How far he carried out this project can be determined upon his decision declaring Bill Gleason out after he had made a fine two-base hit, giving as a pretext that he had made a “foul strike.” It was a deliberate outrage and, although many may blame Captain Comiskey for refusing to continue the game, the provocation was very deep and Mr. Quinn showed his hand so plainly that he should be disqualified for all time to come from acting as an umpire of the American Association.
