[St. Louis vs. Cincinnati 5/1/1883] McGinnis openly violated the pitching rules by throwing on a level with his head during the last half of the game. Umpire Becannon was reminded of this several times by Captain Snyder, but refused to enforce the rules. A rule was made at St. Louis to especially keep the arm below the shoulder, and made so it could be enforced. No umpire will do his sworn duty unless he enforces all the rules. He is under oath to enforce all of them.
