[reporting the NL meeting of 11/18/1885] ...the playing rules were taken up. The first change was in the fourth paragraph of rule 13, which was stricken out and the following substituted: “Should the ball be knocked outside of the inclosure, or be lost during the game, the umpire shall at once call for another ball.” This change was the work of President Young, who has shown that in many cases where Bob Ferguson used two balls this season, it was with good effect.
