Text | If a ball is struck by a bat, and knocked against a house, and is caught before it touches the ground, is it out, or not out? Please answer and oblige THE MEMBERS OF THE AURORA CLUB The striker, in such a case, is out, without any kind of doubt. Whether it may be regarded as a fly catch, or a bound ball, is a matter concerning which there may be a difference of opinion; but, if the ball has not touched the ground, there can be no question about the striker being out–and, we should say, on the bound, although we have known it to be differently decided; or rather, we have seen a striker decided out when the ball was caught after striking a house and touching the ground. |
