When players are touched in running bases, the Umpire should judge of the fact by the probability of the occurrence, from the proximity of the players to each other, rather than by the action of the base player in touching his opponent, as the base player frequently feigns to touch his adversary, when he knows he is not within reach, or has his foot on the base, for the purpose of deceiving the umpire.
