Why is it that umpires will not enforce rules that were made for the to enforce. The Association last spring at St. Louis unanimously agreed that pitchers must keep their hands down to shoulder height, and for that purpose revoked the foul balk, substituting a penalty of a balk for eery offense at pitching above the shoulder. Complaint is universal that Mullane of St. Louis, delivers the ball with his hand actually above his head, and yet he isn't stopped by the umpire.
