[Boston vs. Philadelphia 7/22/1882] Mr. McLean umpired the game and had some close decisions. One of these proved to be directly against the home club, and the crowd jeered until the professor of the manly art lost his temper. Mr. McLean then walked boldly over to the crowd and informed them that he did not intend to stand any nonsense and was able to stand his own ground. After this McLean got along charmingly.
