C.S.G., Pulaski. – “1. In playing base ball a player is running to 1st base and gets there at the same time that the ball does; that is, so you cannot perceive any difference. Which has the preference, the runner or the ball? 2. After a match game has begun has the captain any right to change the position of his men?”….. 1. The ball has no preference, but the ball must be held on the base before the striker reaches it or he is not out. 2. Certainly he has.
