The abolition of the foul-bound has had some effect on run-getting. Four to five foul-bound catches on each side in a game of nine innings was about the average between catcher, third-baseman, first-baseman, and the right and left-fielders—that is to say, 12 to 15 per cent. of the outs were by means of the foul-bound catch. By its abolition the chances for outs are materially decreased and the chances for runs in exact proportion are increased.
