Text | The changes are very important, the main effect of them being to force the pitcher to learn to obtain a better command of the ball in delivery; and they also have the effect of reducing his power to send in very swift balls. The double code, while it enabled him to attain greater speed in delivery, necessarily obliged him to sacrifice accuracy of aim and wear of catcher, besides placing the batsman in the position of being obliged to devote nearly all his attention to avoid being severely hurt by being hit by the pitched ball. |
