Norton pitched in his old-fashion style, putting lightning-speed on the ball, causing the striker frequently to tip, and occasionally to strike out three times. He is “pisen” [i.e. poison] to a batter not accustomed to swift balls. [“Old-fashion style” may refer to Norton’s earlier performance as a swift pitcher.]
