Text	[Atlantic vs. Peconic 6/18/1866] For the first time this season, an Umpire—it was Mr. Cummings, of the Enterprise—performed his whole duty. He kept both pitcher and striker closely to their business, calling balls and strikes promptly and at the same time keeping a keen eye to the field and bases. Mr. Cummings deserves the thanks of all base ball players, and it is to be hoped his example will be followed—it cannot be improved on—by other Umpires in future matches. Owing to his rulings, the game was short, lively and interesting, as all games should and may be.
