[Worcester vs. Yale 4/7/1880] Stovey opened play on the Worcester side, and he endeavored in vain to hit Lamb's rather swiftly and widely-thrown balls, the umpire allowing Lamb to deliver almost “straight from the shoulder.” this high delivery is, of course, illegal, and every umpire who strictly interprets the rule will call all such balls foul balks. We point out this defect of Mr. Lamb's pitching now so that he may reform it before playing in the college-championship games.
