R. Hunt, we noticed, tried the boyish trick of trying to balk the baseplayer [i.e. base runner] by running up against him, a style of play no manly player ever resorted to, but Hunt seems to think it quite a point to play. He ought, however, to carry the thing out entirely and push the player off his base at once; one style is just as legal as the other.
