Text | [Hartford vs. Mutual 6/6/1874] ...Barlow had started, after hitting a called “foul-strike,” and though he stopped half way between the base, and the fielder had the ball in his hand and oculd have readily passed it to Start in time, when Barlow stopped, no one seemed to know that a chance was offered to put the hitter of the foul-strike out. When the batsman steps out of his ground to hit at a ball, and thereby makes a foul strike, if the ball be not hit, he must make three such strikes before he can be given out; but if the ball be hit, and a chance to given thereby to put the striker–but not a base-runner–out on such foul-strike, he can be put out, just as Barlow could have been in this instance. |
