Date	Saturday, September 16, 1876
Text	[from answers to correspondents] A club claimed in a match, recently, that the arm or hand could not be raised higher than the hip, when swung back, before the ball or hand is swung forward towards the striker. 2. That his hand or arm must hang perpendicular, and the ball be pitched only. 3. That, in pitching or throwing, he turned his hand with the back towards the striker, so as to hide the ball. The umpire claimed the ball was delivered below the hip, it being an underhand throw, and claimed the arm was not required to swing perpendicular, and that he was privileged to raise his hand as high as he choose when swinging the arm back, before swinging forward to deliver. … The pitcher can swing his arm as high as he chooses in his motion to deliver, provided that in swinging the arm forward he does so in such a way as to have the hand pass below the line of the hip, and as nearly perpendicular as he can.
