Umpire George Bausewine is once again in the middle of controversy, forfeiting a game to the Pirates with the score tied 5 – 5 in the 9th when the Giants argue too long over his safe call at third base. New York will appeal the forfeiture, but on August 26 National League President Harry Pulliam will uphold the ump’s decision. By the rules of the day, Giants pitcher Christy Mathewson is charged with the loss.
