Text | [from answers to correspondents] In pitching a ball in base ball, is it fair for a man to deliver it in the same manner as a man bowling a round arm ball in cricket? ... It is doubtful whether a ball delivered as in round arm bowling can be fairly considered as a pitched ball according to the interpretation placed upon the word “pitched” by the National Association. One or two umpires have decided a bowled ball as not a fairly pitched ball. It is a very nice distinction. Until otherwise decided at the next convention we shall consider round arm delivery as out of place in base ball, and therefore decide that the deliver referred to is unfair. |
