Text	The umpiring of Mr. Martin was impartial and satisfactory as a general thing. In the fourth inning, however, after two hands had been lost, he ruled, in regard to a foul struck when a player was running the bases, that the pitcher must stand within the lines of his position in receiving the ball before it can be in play. This rule has not been altered since last season, and the umpire consequently was wrong in his decision... The other point was in the last inning, where in the case of a ball thrown to third base to cut off a player running from second, he asked the baseman if he had touched the runner. This is decidedly wrong, and should not be tolerated. The umpire should give his decisions entirely upon his own judgment, and not consult either party.
