[from Answers to Correspondents] [answering questions about umpiring under the new rules] Can I call a ball on the pitcher when he delivers the ball over the home-base, if it be out of proper reach? ... Yes; unless the ball is at the same time not very wide of the mark, in which case you can safely be a little lenient, and let it pass.
