[Nationals of Washington at Unions of Lansingburgh 10/20/1867] Some trouble was experienced in the choice of an umpire, the Unions objecting to several first-class umpires from the city who were present, they insisted on a local umpire. This has become so customary with the Union club, that suspicion is very naturally aroused that the club benefits by such partisan selections, a complaint to this effect being made by clubs who have played on the Lansingburgh grounds. We have not seen a match played there ourselves, and cannot therefore speak by the card; but where there is so much smoke, there must be some fire.
