One by Tim Hurst.

Tim Hurst, the former major league umpire, waff-asked one day what was the closest and hardest decision he ever made, says the Sporting News. "It was In Baltimore,” he said, “Jennings was on first, McGraw was on second and Stenzel at the bat ; They started a double steal. Jennings as he passed Long, hit him and Long tripped him, after which Jennings went on and jumped into Collins. Tenney tried 'tb hold McGraw, but he broke reached second and kicked the ball out of Lowe's hands. Stenzel swung his bat and {lit Robinson on the hand trying to keep him from throwing. Robby tripped me and poked me In the back to keep me from seeing and Stenzel spiked my foot” “How did you decide it?” was asked. “I called it a foul ball, sent the runners back and kicked Stenzel on the shins,” said Tim.
