|Text=<p>[reporting on the new rules from the NAPBBP convention] Sec. 2, Rule 4.–Delivery of the ball by the pitcher; no part of his person must be outside the lines of position while delivering the ball, and the delivery must be perpendicular, and not by a round swing, or throw from the wrist.</p>
|Text=<p>[See PT August 29, 1886 for unusually precisely described deliveries with engravings from instantaneous photographs.]</p>
<p>{This is an important amendment, as it rules out nearly all our pitchers, only one or two of whom pitch perpendicularly, that is to say, with a straight movement of the arm.  If the rule is strictly observed, it will cause a radical change in the style of pitching, and do away with a large number of “dodges” resorted to by pitcher to increase the speed and effectiveness of their delivery.}</p>
