Mr. Bob Hall of the Baltimore Club, an old cricketer by the way, tried to get an amendment through making all balls which are hit to the ground back of a line from third to first base, foul. This was done to stop the style known as “fair fouls.” It was wisely voted down, however, as it would have involved an endless amount of disputes with the umpire.
