[from the AA instructions to umpires] Not only does the base runner on a base take a base on an illegal delivery of the ball to the bat, but the batsman also; and in case ll the bases are occupied, or only third base, a run is scored by such a balk. But when an ordinary balk–not involving the delivery of the ball–is made, in such case only base runners take bases and not the batsman.
