Text	[regarding Athletic vs. Baltimore 5/20/1872] As the trouble seems to have originated from an error on the part of the umpire, we would suggest, if the evidence warrants it, that the Judiciary committee recommend the two nines to meet at some time mutually agreeable, and renew the game at the point in the eighth innings where it was so abruptly broken off. At that phase of the play the Baltimores stood seven to the Athletics four; Anson, Mack and McGeary, for the Athletics, were on the bases, with Cuthbert as next batter. The Baltimore nine would not be deprived of their advantage in the score they had already made, and the Athletics would have a fair opportunity afforded them to show whether they could have overtaken Baltimore’s lead. Should the committee so decide, and the day be pleasant, one of the largest assemblages ever seen at a game of base ball would be I attendance to witness the closing innings of this championship contest.
