[Active vs. Eagle 9/8/1866] The Actives being short handed, as usual, when the time arrived for play, put in Hibbard in Stockman’s place, Hibbard always being on hand in time. Now, according to the rules of the game, Hibbard ought to have retained his place in the nine, after taking his turn at the bat. Rule 29 says: No change or substitution shall be made after the game has been commenced, unless for reason fo illness or injury, and according to rule 32, not even then, unless with the consent of both parties. This rule has been hitherto almost ignored, and it is about time it was strictly enforced. If any players are absent, the game must be commenced without them, the side short-handed playing all but the absentees. If men are substituted, the substitutes must play through the game, and neither party, not even by mutual consent, can make any chance, except in cases of palpable injury or illness.
