[Flyaway vs. Rose Hill 5/19/1874] [The umpire] called balls very irregularly, allowed ball after ball sent in over the base to go by without strikes being called, and allowed over fifty wide balls, out of possible reach of the bat, from being called either balls or wides, thus giving great latitude to wild pitching and making the game long. New York Sunday Mercury May 24, 1874 [time of game: 2:40]
