[Cincinnati vs. Chicago 5/8/1880] That [decision by the umpire] allowing Wright to take four bases on a ball which lodged in the netting at the top of the right-field fence is a violation of the ground rules, which limit a hit over the fence to two bases. At least ten times last year balls lodged in the netting, and in every instance but two bases were allowed to be run.
