Text | [reviewing the new rules] A change was made in the rule governing the completion of a game. Last years, when the side last at the bat made the winning run, the game was not ended until the hit which sent in the run had been completed and the runner had made all the bases he could by it. This year the revised rule on the point of play ends the game the moment the winner's run is scored. This puts a stop to all such disputes as that in the Boston and Philadelphia game in Philadelphia last season. Consequently the batsman making the hit which brings in the runner from third can now only be credited with a single hit. Last year he could have scored a home run. |
