[from answers to correspondents] 1. A man on first base; the striker bats a ball to short-stop, who fields it to second base, thereby putting the man out who is running from first base, and the striker gets his first. Is that a base-hit? 2. Suppose this man gets his first, and the batter following him makes a three-base hit and drives the man on first home. Is that an earned run? ... 1. No. 2. It is not an earned run, because no base-hit was made previously.
