Yesterday's defeat was then largely the fault of the nine; perhaps it was even more the fault of the umpire. At a critical moment he called a pretty, perfectly fair hit of Howe's a foul.

...third inning, after Murphy had flied out, Lynch made a safe hit and got to third on a wild pitch. Bird knocked a high foul to Alward who muffed it.
