In counting balls unfairly delivered, the umpire should be furnished by the club with a counting tally, consisting of pieces of wood moving on a wire, like a billiard tally. It should be made small, so as to occupy but three or four inches in length. In calling wides and balls, he should designate each as “One wide,” “two wides,” “three wides–take a base;” or “one ball,” “two balls,” etc. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch April 12, 1874 [see also PCI 4/5/1874 above.]
