[Answers to Correspondents] In playing base ball a man is on third base, a baulk is called on the pitcher, which the striker hits to field, and is caught out on the fly. Is the striker out, and does the player on third base make his run? ... The baulk gives the player his run in this instance. According to the present rules the striker is out on the fly. The rules will be amended at the next convention so as to make a ball dead on which a baulk is called.
