...umpire or scorekeeper The scholars were at all times completely at the mercy of the editors, and even their star mathematicians could not solve Sam Hall's cavorting curves. The game was tied up in a sack and dropped overboard in the sixth, when a volley of bingles drove the Intellectualists from their last line of trenches.
