[from the Boston correspondent] I hardly dare discuss these new scoring rules to any length. When you get into them there is so much to say before you can leave them in even decent shape that it is dangerous to open up the discussion. If I look over the score of a game I have not seen and find that Sam Wise has made three hits I shall not know whether he has actually made three hits, or has been given three that don't belong to him for the sake of disciplining a pitcher. If a batsman is going to be credited with a base hit when he gets his base on balls, then put some record of it in the summary, so that the reader can tell something about the game.
