[Mutual vs. Eckford 10/13/1871] It was some time before the game could be started, in consequence of the regular umpires’ refusing to serve in any match in which Nelson, of the Eckfords, took part. Finally, Mr. Wiggins, of the Athletics, was induced to serve, and this time Nelson refrained from his usual conduct, as he did not dispute a single decision, and kept remarkably free from growling, Martin monopolizing that peculiar department of Eckford Club proceedings.
