Text	There are signs of a kick about the delivery of Whitney, Boston's new pitcher, who is said to press the limit in the matter of raising his arm. The Providence people are especially exercised about it, and are pretty certain to ask the League to keep down Whitney's arm by sitting down on it. Chicago Tribune April 24, 1881 [from a letter to the editor by “A. D. Tyler”] ...with all the strength he [Whitney] can bring to bear he draws his arm and hand back on a level with his shoulder, and then with a might effort slugs it towards the catcher, unmindful of the striker's whereabouts, and was not in the least disconcerted the past week by knocking the wind out of five Providence players. The League rules clearly define the delivery of the pitcher, and are a mere face if not enforced. Every game Whitney has played in this week should count against the Bostons. Chicago Tribune May 13, 1881
