[Forest City of Rockford vs. Atlantic 5/31/1870] ...the umpiring from the very first had been marked by a willful ignoring of plainly written rules of the game. Ball after ball, pitched by both pitcher out of the legitimate reach of the bat, were allowed to be delivered unnoticed by the umpire, while the strikers on both sides were permitted repeatedly to refuse to strike at fair balls within their reach.
