Text	It will be remembered that the controversy last spring in regard to the rule admitting of underhand throwing as a legitimate style of delivering the ball to the bat was marked by assertions that the rule would “kill the game,” etc. The experience of the working of the new rule has amply proved what we asserted in its behalf in the early part of the season, viz., that underhand throwing having practically been a rule of the game since the days of Creighton, it was absurd to prohibit it by statute while allowing it by custom; and, moreover, that there was no legitimate objection to its working favorably in the interests of the game at large. This rule will be continued in force by the amateur fraternity, and no doubt the professionals will see the uselessness of any longer allowing a small minority of their class to oppose on the old fogy grounds they do.
