Umpiring career
In May 1884, following a Fort Wayne-St. Paul game, Cushman was struck in the head with a rock thrown by an eleven-year-old boy.
In 1898, Cushman umpired in the National League until July. Initial rumors were that Cushman was having problems with league president Nicholas Young. Later, Cushman said that he was discharged after refusing to swear to an affidavit incriminating Cap Anson and another former manager on violations of the Brush Act. He joined the staff of the Western League late in the season.
