...difficult task to straighten them out again. Games which should have been played or forfeited were postponed with impunity either by the consent of both of the captains or on account of petty wrangles about the umpire. The captains of class teams who were appointed to umpire did not show any zeal or interest whatever in the matter, and, when they could, sent substitutes to fill their places.
