The press reports from Boston all agree that Thompson's hit went over the fence and that Kelly had an extra ball in his pocket, which he threw against the fence, making it appear that the one Thompson hit struck there. The players and spectators saw it, but Powers did not. All umpires make mistakes, but Powers seems to make all his on one side, and they are invariably in favor of Boston. St., quoting the Philadelphia Ledger
