Text | Under the rules for umpiring which will be observed this season the catcher will not be allowed to momentarily hold the ball, then drop it in order to make a double play, nor in case of a long hit will the out-fielders be allowed to hold the ball and then let it rebound in to the air for the purpose of catching a base runner leaving his base after the ball is caught. Such a dodge will be sat down upon and the umpire will decide that in momentarily holding the ball it is caught under the rules. |
