Text	[Empire vs. Keystone 8/26/1865] Malone played well behind, though disabled with a sore hand. We have one thing to censure him for and that was his unfair appeal to the umpire on the foul ball off Martin’s bat. Owing to the position of the players, the umpire was unable to see what was apparent to all around, that the catch was a second-bound one; and supposing the appeal all right and fair, he gave the striker out. There is not the slightest difference between action like this, and that of saying that you have caught a ball or touched a man when you know to the contrary. It was a thoughtless act, no doubt, but we trust never again to see any player guilty of it.
