Change of recreation here - would really appreciate your help with the match 's red text

"wished to be umpire as Gerald such a small chap  - never
umpired before & never seen rules but pretended to know
all about it & don’t think incapacity discovered. We lost by"

bold text from brilliant help here.

Folks here are gamely brightening my transcription from dark uncertainty to wonder. Thank you.

I've spent so much time on that word and you make it look so easy.
Brilliant.
