Text | The scoring rules in vogue out of town, in which a batsman is not charged with a “time at bat” when he takes his base on called balls, is in direct violation of two sections of the League playing-rules of the game. Rule 41 states that a time at bat begins the moment the batsman becomes a base-runner; and rule 52, section 2, states that the batsman becomes a base-runner “instantly after seven balls have been called.” To ignore such time at bat, though he take his base on called balls, or on three strikes not caught, and afterwards scores a run because he does not hit the ball, is nonsense. |
