-|Text=<p>The experiment of playing base ball on roller skates was tried at the Knickerbocker Roller Skating Rink at the American Institute, New York, last week, but it was not very successful.  A network is required to protect spectators who set forward of the home base line, and a soft three ounce ball is another requirement.  No bases are needed, as a three-feet line—as in playing the game on ice—is all that is necessary.  The ball can be delivered in any way.  Small bats not over two inches in diameter, and not over thirty inches in length, should be used.  The batsman should stand so as to have one foot one each side of the home base line, the home base being a painted square on the floor, with a foot-foot line drawn through it.  A skater in running bases has only to cross the line of each base and then turn to the right and return to the base.  Fair balls caught on the bound count.</p>
