Text	Rule 45 is amended so as to prohibit any base-runner form having another player of the nine run for him. If he is too lame—from an injury sustained in the game then being played—to run the bases, he must leave the field altogether, and be subject to Rule 37. If he is only fatigued or partially disabled, then he must run the bases as best he may. This amendment was made to put a stop to the call for base-running substitutes which marked so many League contests last season, and the relieve the captains from the onus of refusing to allow such substitute to run. It is no longer optional with captains to consent to a player running a base for a companion, for no such substitute-running is now permitted.
