Text	[Philadelphia vs. Kleinz 5/4/1876] In the fourth inning Darrah was on third, and Farquarhar on first, when Crook struck a foul ball which was quickly fielded to Zettlein [pitcher], who threw to first and caught Farquahar off of his base, the umpire deciding him out. The Kleinz club took exception to this–claiming that the game was played under the same rule as governed the League Clubs, in running on foul balls. The Philadelphias claimed to be playing under the professional rules, as adopted by the [rump NA] Convention in April, there being a difference of opinion s to the wording of the “Rule on Fouls.” The Kleinz concluded to accept te umpire’s decision, but to play the game under protest. Philadelphia Item May 5, 1876 the all-yarn ball Only three out of the eleven games were marked by double-figure scores, while four were won by socres of five runs and less, showing some masterly play in fielding. This is largely due to the use of the all-yarn ball, which is rapidly superseding the elastic rubber ball. New York Clipper May 6, 1876
