Text	[Unions of Morrisania vs. Athletics 9/21/1867] We hear complaints on all sides of the conduct of the Athletics in this game, and Mr. Malone, the umpire, comes in for a good share of censure, some of his decisions being extremely one-sided. How a player can be decided out when standing with both feet on a base, on a ball thrown to the baseman, is more than we can imagine. We hear complaints made of the Athletics by nearly every club visiting them, and where this is so much smoke there must certainly be a little fire. Clubs that are in the habit of acting dishonorably will soon become so notorious that they will be left out in the cold altogether, and for our part we think it would serve them right.
