The Boston Herald says there is a growing demand for some definite or stringent rule in regard to pitching, or rather throwing. At present pitchers are allowed to deliver the ball as they please, in spite of the remonstrances of their opponents. The rule requiring the ball to be delivered below the hip is a dead letter, and should be replaced by some legislation that can be enforced. This is very true, indeed, and the American Association, at its next annual meeting, should amend its playing rules so there can be no mistake about it, and enforce the rule next season.
