Text	[Philadelphia vs. Athletic 7/3/1875] ...McBride and Fisher pitching with wonderful effectiveness, although it is questionable whether the very high delivery of the latter in this game is sanctioned by the rules. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury July 4, 1875 [St. Louis vs. Philadelphia 7/8/1875] Pearce objected strongly to the pitching or rather throwing of Fisher, and, while the umpire did not rule it out, it resulted in Fisher sticking closer to the law in this matter. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury July 11, 1875 Fisher’s delivery in the Hartford-Philadelphia game in Hartford on the 14th was illegal. It was bold throwing, his arm swinging far above the hip every time. New York Sunday Mercury July 18, 1875
