Text | Even Harry Wright admits that the new League rule, limiting the pitcher to a space six feet by four, will somewhat impair Bond's efficiency. On general principles, a little more of the same kind of legislation would do no harm. Pitchers have become disgustingly efficient during the past five years, and the general public would not object to a little of the slugging style of batting in vogue in the earlier days of the game. As long as the Chicago Club plays on the grounds now used by it, however, it cannot be expected to advocate the use of a lively balls, as, in case of its adoption, more fish-net fence would have to be constructed. |
