| Text | [from Chadwick's column] In making out my scores this season for the Brooklyn Eagle—the only daily paper I now write for regularly—I have prepared a new summary to aid team work in batting. I ignore all extra-base hits credited to the individual batsman, to begin with, giving in their place credit for runs batted in and for sacrifice hits which aid runners to get bases. Then I record the chances given by each side for catches, whether accepted or not; the more such chances are given the weaker the batting. I also give a total record of battery errors for each side, these including bases on balls, wild pitches and balls hitting batsmen. I place no assistances for strikes in the assistance column, merely placing the total struck out by each pitcher in the summary. I give the total base hits on each side in the summary; also first base by fielding errors, earned runs—off the pitching only—and left on bases. Of course in official scores I adhere to the Association rule, but not in my newspaper scores. |
