Date	Thursday, April 1, 1886
Text	The base ball reporters of the Record, the Press and The Times met yesterday and discussed the scoring rules adopted by the National League and American Association. It was decided to score all games alike, all fielding errors to appear in the error column and all battery errors, of whatever nature, to appear in the summary. The new rule of the American Association, providing for an additional column for stolen bases, was looked upon as impracticable and was also transferred to the summary. It was also decided to give a player who made a successful “start” to steal a base the credit for a stolen base irrespective of any error made by the battery. The most important innovation made was to describe all errors made in the summary, and hereafter the public will be able to tell just what kind of misplays were made by the players.
