| Text | [Athletic vs. Baltimore 9/26/1872] In the eighth inning Treacy, the first striker, faced Fisher, who had been put in to pitch again, and on the second ball being delivered called for judgment on Fisher’s delivery. The umpire [Charles Fulmer] decided it “a throw.” Another ball was pitched, and the umpire again said “a throw.” Treacey, however, hit the next ball and was fielded out at first by Radcliffe, the umpire deciding him not out, but entitled to another strike. Captain Mills, of the Baltimores, declined to put in Matthews to pitch again, as he very properly said if Fisher was throwing instead of pitching some objection should have been made to it sooner, and as he also declined to allow Treacey to strike over again, the umpire declared the game in favor of the Athletics by a score of nine to nothing, and the Baltimores started off the field. Mr. Hayhurst, manager of the Athletics, here interfered and said he was willing to continue the game without any further objection, and the umpire reversed his decision and decided Treacey out at first. |
