[from Chadwick's column] I should like to see a record kept in each game of the hits made by batsmen which bring in runs; it would furnish interesting data on which to base an opinion as to the merits of each batsman of ta team in “playing for the side” at the bat. Another record which should be kept, as equally useful, is that of hits made by batsmen which, though yielding outs, either forward runners on bases or send runs in, these hits being known as sacrifice hits. Both of these classes of hits are valuable as showing team work at the bat, but the existing scoring rules recognize neither of them...
