Text	[Boston vs. Athletic 6/26/1871] We wish to call attention to the disrespectable practice of hooting and hissing umpires, as instanced yesterday. When Gould on a fine hit to centre was making second, Sensy put the ball to Meyerle to put out Jackson, who was going to third base, but failed. Meyerle threw the ball to Reach to prevent Gould from making second base, but there is no question about it but that Gould was there before the ball, and when an appeal was made the umpire very judiciously and promptly decided safe; then came yelling, hooting and hissing, the like never being heard before on the grounds. For the sake of the fine reputation oft he Athletic Club, and the game, let it be discontinued, or it will be the means of bringing the beautiful game to the level of a brutal exhibition of a prize fight, and the utter impossibility of getting a gentleman to umpire a game.
