Text	[from a circular by McKnight to AA scorers] When a batsman is sent to first base for being hit by the pitcher, or on a balk, it should not be called a “a time at bat,” but should be scored like a base on balls. The Sporting Life May 6, 1885 scoring notes: dropped third strike [from a circular by McKnight to AA scorers] If the catcher drop or pass the ball on a third strike, and cannot recover it in time to throw the runner out at first, it counts as a passed ball, but if he recovers the ball in time and makes a bad throw to first base, it is an error and not a passed ball for him; if the catcher throw the ball properly and the baseman fails to make the put-out the baseman gets an error and the catcher gets credit for an assist; all this on the principle that only one error can be counted where only one base is made. In all the above cases the pitcher must get credit, in the summary, for a strike-out. The Sporting Life May 6, 1885
