Text | [in correspondence] There was a man on the third base, when the striker struck a ball, which was caught on the fly; the man at the base went back and touched the same, when the ball was thrown to the pitcher, whom it passed, as it did alike the catcher, when the man at the base came home. The ball was then thrown to the pitcher, and by him to the third base, and decision called for, when the umpire decided not out. By answering in your next issue, whether the decision was right or wrong, you will much oblige the NEWARK BASE BALL CLUB The decision was a perfectly just one. If the player returned and touched his base, after the ball was caught on the fly, he fulfilled all the obligations of the rules; and if his adversaries mis-fielded the ball, he was entitled to all the advantages he could gain thereby. |
