Text	[Hartford vs. Mutual 8/5/1875] For the first time [the Hartfords] placed Bond in as pitcher in a Brooklyn match, and Tommy just handled the ball in a masterly manner, alike in his delivery and in his fielding. He has lowered his delivery almost down to the Creighton point—James used to send the ball in from a point in which his hand was not over six or eight inches from the grounds—and the result is, of course, an improved delivery; for, the nearer the line of the waist a ball leaves the hand of the pitcher, the straighter the curve of its delivery, and , as a matter of course, the easier it is to judge. This is what makes mere underhand throwing from the waist-line comparatively easy to hit—rising curves making it difficult, when the pace is fast, to hit the ball on its centre line.
