Text	[reporting the NL meeting 11/19/1884] At the evening session the overhand pitching was discussed at great length. All the delegates with the exception of Mr. Mills and those from Boston and Providence were in favor of keeping the pitcher’s arm below the shoulder so as to make the game more interesting and allow for finer play in the field than at present. It was also proposed that the pitcher’s box be made seven feet instead of the present size... (St. Louis) Missouri Republican November 20, 1884 [reporting on the NL annual meeting] There was an animated discussion of the pitcher’s arm. The sentiment of the meeting was that the rules as applied this year should be tried for another season at least. In fact Mr. Howe, of Cleveland, seemed to be the only one who favored the low-arm delivery. The Sporting Life November 26, 1884
