The Umpire cAhead.-The Johnstown
(Pa.) club met the Cumberland club at
Meyersdale last Saturday and, in the
ancient parlance of the game, "crossed
bats" At the end the score stood:
JonilstoWn. 10
Cumberland. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. s
The calamity is described by the
Neecs in the pathetic paragraph below {:
The Cumberland players complain greatly
Of the umpre's partiality for the Johnstown
club, which is said to have been obvious. The
audience, too, forgot their manners and
ratified the visitors by their noisy demonstra-
tons. Despite audience and umpire, how
ever our boys played good game
And the Times says with great
emotion:
The Cumberland baseball club went to
Meyersdale on Saturday to play the Johns
town club, and they came home defeated by the
umpire's partiality in the decisions. 1t would
be good thing if some umpires would have
land gentlemen have and give the visitors
the benefit of any doubt that might arise.
But, gentlemen, we have been there
with this exception: We beat the
club-and umpire too.
Hence it was that over a year ago we
could have adopted with great gusto
the rhythm of the Chicago Rambler:
There's symmetry of motion
To my sympathetic notion
In the pitcher as he curves the ball.
There's an idyl great in diction,
Quite exciting as fiction,
In the batter when he flies the wall.
And the pose of grace and beauty
Of the catcher doing duty,
Is an epic quite exceeding all.
But for poetry of motion,
To my unpretentions notion,
There's nothing like the umpires gall.
