This season, under the new rule of the complete fly game, catchers will have to stand up close to the bat more than they did I 1870, as all catches now must be made on the “fly.” Foul-bound catchers are done away with, as also foul-bound tip-catches. A great deal of activity was indulged in by first and third basemen and right and left fielders, as well as catchers, in trying to get hold of foul-bound balls last season, and some good fielding was done in this respect. What has been lost by the change in the rule, however, will no doubt be made up by some newly-developed play under the new rule.
