[from R. M. Larner's correspondence] Mr. Young then called attention to one of the new rules, which requires the ball to be returned to the pitcher before the game terminates, in the following instance:--Should the game be at a tie at the last half of the ninth inning, and the side at bat have one or more men on bases, all the runs that are scored on a subsequent safe hit will be counted prior to the return of the ball to the pitcher. For instance, a two or three-bagger will be credited to the batsman after the winning run has been scored, and should he make a home-run hit that must also be accredited to him.
