Text	“Bases shall not be given to a striker when any player, other than himself, shall be put out on this strike.” The above is another one of the League scoring rules, and means woe to the really good batter that is unfortunate enough to have an over venturesome base runner ahead of him. It will work like this: Suppose a man is on second, and the striker makes a safe hit to right field, on which he easily makes first, now the man on second may take desperate and foolish chances and try to get home on the hit; if he is caught on the home plate the striker gets a positive discredit for assisting to put a man out, instead of receiving credit for a base-hit: Pretty, isn’t it?
