[1] He was a controversial umpire who had to be removed from the field on some occasions, including a game in Boston where fans attacked him (he had to be rescued by Chick Stahl and Parson Lewis).

In Cantillon's three years in Washington, his team never finished higher than seventh place in the AL and lost 100 games twice.

The only bright spot was the discovery of Walter Johnson, who would become perhaps the greatest pitcher in American League history.

After his two years as an umpire, Cantillon resumed his minor league managerial career with the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association from 1903 to 1906, his team never finishing below third place.

Ironically, the former umpire was known as a hot-tempered skipper who was frequently ejected from games, especially during his long minor league tenure.
