Not Enough Attention Is Being
Paid To The Laws Of Pitching

or
Most of the faults are unintentional and are mainly due to carelessness ignorance of the Pitching Rule as laid down in the Book, and a great deal of misun- be derstanding on the field, from both the players' and spectators' viewpoints, can saved through a careful study of the simple provisions for a legal pitch.
Spectators have often expressed surprise at the fuss about a technical point,. while on the other hand there are devout adherents to the rules who notice even
