The new rule concerning fouls is found to work well, and its beauties have already been shown in the practice of various clubs throughout the country. Its great feature is the development of judgment by those men who have to decide between taking the ball on the fly or the bound. In the former case, if they have a man off his base, they can go for the double play, but by taking it on the fly, they give a man on a base a chance of running for another after the fly is taken, which would be stopped by the ball being taken on the bound.
