pass a rule to the effect that: "If any eleven shall refuse to agree to the referee's decision, and shall delay the game more than five minutes, the game shall be declared forfeited, and shall be given to their opponents." This plan worms admirably in the different base ball leagues, where a nine finds fault with the umpiring, and it serves as a wholesome check on those inclined to 'kick...
