Text | [from Chadwick's column] He [Harry Wright] says that the four strike rule was a necessity last season, in view of the advantage given the pitcher by the abolition of the privilege of calling for a high or low ball; but that the experience batsmen have gained since 1886, in striking at balls between the height of the knee and the shoulder, has equalized things more, and in consequence the four strike rule now would only enable them to wait longer for a base on balls than before. |
