[Cincinnati vs. Troy 5/30/1879] Barnes...was also caught napping by a trick of Clapp. He was sliding to the base, when Clapp [first base] crabbed his ankle, held it fast and called for the umpire. Williams [sic: should be Wilber, the umpire] started down to the base on a run. Barnes says his foot was against the base, and he laid still; but just as the umpire came up Clapp pushed the base away, and the umpire decided out. Jim White claims the umpire had no right to leave his position.
