Text	[referring to a series of exhibitions games National vs. Chicago] Mr. Hulbert was advised beforehand of the peculiar character of Lynch's delivery, but did not take as much interest in the matter as he would if Lynch had been a League pitcher, and the games were to count in the League championship schedule. He did, however, say to the Umpire, prior to the commence of the first game: “Of course you know these games are to be played under League rules, and if the pitchers on either side violate those rules it will be your duty to enforce the penalty. But,” he added, “please understand that the people of Chicago, who have paid their money to see these games, don't want to have a game broken up on account of the pitching.” Thus advised, it was hardly to be expected that the Umpire would bother his head much about Lynch's delivery.
