George Wright has been recently interviewed, and expressed himself strongly in favor of a return to the old style of straight-arm pitching, adding that with the present curved underhand throwing a base-hit is only made by chance. It is his opinion that Corcoran, Will White, Ward and McCormick throw the ball almost direct from the shoulder, and should be ruled out. He alluded to the so-called “five-men agreement” as outrageous, with no particle of justice in it.
