Text	[Chicago vs. Philadelphia 10/14/1875] It was openly charged on the field that it was a “hippodroming” affair or “double-cross,” players on both sides endeavoring to “throw” the game. New York Clipper October 23, 1875 proposed rule revisions: tagging up on foul flies, and no longer catching a man off his base on a foul ball Among the new rules to be proposed at the next convention of the National Association is one providing that foul flies caught shall be considered in play as are fair flies; that is, when a foul fly is caught a man on the base shall be allowed to start for his next base, directly after the ball has been caught, instead of being obliged to wait until it has reached the pitcher’s hands. It is also proposed to change the rule so that a base runner who attempts to run on a foul hit shall be allowed to return to his base instead of being “caught off,” as is now the case. New York Sunday Mercury October 24, 1875
