The Incident at Richmond.
A description of the friction on the
field at Richmond between one of the
Yale players and the umpire, suffered
in description in the WEEKLy’s account
of the trip, through a slight error in
editing the dispatches. Mr. Wads-
worth’s remark to the coach, which
was made ina “jollying’ way, was a
question and not a statement. As he
rattled on, he threw in the inquiry
“Well, has he ever umpired before?”
saying it, apparently for the same rea-
son that most things are said by
coaches, to wit, for the purpose of say-
ing something. The coaches always
welcome some new topic of exhorta-
tion and this seemed to have been Mr.
Wadsworth’s attitude towards the um-
ire.
Some people thought that Captain
Greenway should have given in simply
because it was college amateur base-
ball and it was better to concede than
to scrap. He felt, however, that he was
standing on a right which he must pro-
tect. As was said in the account, per-
fect good feeling prevailed between the
two nines.
