Clarification on Appeal Play

Situation:

A homerun is hit.

Batter rounds the bases.

Before the next play begins - with the ball in play - the pitcher throws the ball as an appeal to third saying that he did not touch third on the home run. Umpire says "No, he touched third, but he didn't touch second" Pitcher - after receiving the ball - whilst still in play throws the ball to second.

The umpire says "Only one appeal is allowed" is this the right ruling? I was under the impression that you can appeal to any base any time so long as the ball is "in play."

Stupid umpire?

Yes, the defense may make a proper appeal on a runner one time at each base.

Not only did the umpire blow the appeal procedure, he also gave them too much information!
