Text | [Resolute of Elizabeth vs. Champion of Jersey City 7/21/1871] [The umpire] allowed ball after ball which was pitched over the striker’s head, and which touched the ground before reaching the home-base, to go by without being called, when the rules expressly require that every such unfair ball must be called in the order of its delivery. He also allowed the strikers to call for a “waist” ball, something the rules prohibit, the striker only being allowed to call for either a high or low ball, and he must strike at the balls called for when delivered, or strikes must be called on him. |
