In view of the opposition made by Hayhurst last season to the new rule for pitching, we fully expected to see him advocating the old rule this year, but this time he was quite resigned to the new rule of 1872 [sic], and so it was indorsed. The reason was that this year the Athletics have that swift underhand thrower Fisher in their nine, whom they attempted to rule out in a game in Baltimore last year. Then his pitching was against the Athletics, now it is for them; and of course the rule comes in handy now, while before they wanted the old rule to govern.
