Text | [Mutual vs. Newark 6/20/1864] The Umpire discharged his duties creditably throughout. He called balls on the pitcher whenever he pitched out of reach, and called strikes on the batsman whenever he failed to strike at good balls, such as were pitched where he wanted them. Thus the occupants of the pitcher’s and striker’s positions were forced to play a fair game throughout, and the result was plenty of chances for good fielding, a quickly played and lively game, and no just cause for ill feeling, the match being played throughout with the utmost good humor on both sides. |
