Text | Section 6, of the fourth rule, has been amended so as to read as follows: “If two hands are already out, no player running home at the time the ball is struck can make a run to count in the score of the game, if the striker or player running the bases I put out before reaching the first base.” This is an important amendment; the rule, last season, prohibiting any of the base runners to score a run when the striker of the ball should be the third hand out–this being manifestly unjust, as a man might be the third out on the home base after sending three men home, and yet according to the letter of the law, these three runs would not be counted in the score. |
