Our interpretation of the law, Section 6, is that every movement made by the pitcher while in the act of pitching, calculated to mislead the player into the belief that the pitcher is going to deliver the ball, and he fail to deliver it as expected, the pitcher unquestionably makes a baulk. But the general opinion seems to be that as long as he does not move the arm or hand with which he delivers the ball, any over movement he may make is not to be regarded in the light of a baulk; but such a reading of the law is not correct according to the wording of it.
