Text | [from answers to correspondents] The pitcher is obliged to deliver the ball over the home base and within legitimate reach of the batsman. If the latter wants a ball waist high, one to the shoulder or at the knee is not considered within legitimate reach; but if the pitcher delivers the ball within six inches of where it is called for, the batsman must strike at it, or the umpire would be justified in calling “one ball.” [sic: should be “one strike”] |
