Text	[Mutual vs. Atlantic 8/12/1867] Smith struck a ball to right field, but was called back by the Umpire, who very correctly called “no strike,” a sin [sic: probably should be “as in”] hitting the ball, he overstepped the line drawn through the centre of the home base. … The “no strike” business now began to receive the attention of the crowd, who expressed their disapprobation of the Umpire's ruling in loud murmurs. The Umpire was perfectly correct; the rules, not he, being at fault. … His judgment in regard to no strikes was correct, but as the penalty inflicted falls on the field and not on the striker, it hardly meets that which is required of the rule.
