Text	[from Caylor’s column] Mr. Chadwick insists that under the new rules the right foot of the pitcher must be kept on the ground until the ball is delivered. I wrote about this delivery understandingly; for I was a member of the joint committee, he must know, and all these points were discussed. Ward was present, and illustrated the rule which he himself drew up, and he showed how a pitcher might step, or, rather, jump, forward in one step and bring his right foot along while his arm is coming forward. The entire committee saw this illustrated, and so will Mr. Chadwick as soon as the season begins. Mr. Ward can bear me out in this, and the “jump” which I have been writing about is not the “hot, step and jum” of the Mullane sort indulged in so freely but one might stride, where the pitcher follows his left foot with his right.
