Thanks for the timeline

[2] He remains the only umpire to be forever disqualified from acting as such in any game of ball participated in by a National League Club. ..nothing is clearly stated in the official League minutes of a hearing held on the matter. Dick Higham never confessed to any wrongdoing and denied such accusations
