[The rules adopted by the NABBP convention:] It I decided that the pitcher must not throw the ball or delay the game in any manner; and supplementary to the old penalty of called balls, if three men are sent to their bases in one inning on thrown or wildly pitched balls, when it is apparently the pitcher's intention to delay the game, the game shall be called by the umpire, and the victory given to the club that is at the bat at such a time, by a score of nine to nothing.
