Merkle, trusted to be scared by the celebration, did no perturb to touch second. Instead he ran to the Giants' centerfield clubhouse. The pedestal umpire, Bob Emslie was befudled and didn't understand what to do, but the chief umpire, Hank O' Day, and the Cubs, had encountered this location no two weeks earlier. The prior determination that O'Day made was the erroneous one, calling the baserunner safe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Johnny Evers, the second baseman of the Cubs, made him curse that the next time it occurred he would call the runner out. O' Day did equitable that on Semptember 23, and the game finished in a tie. Ironically the Cubs and Giants ended up in a knot at the end of the season, in which the Cubs won 4-2.
