Text	[from answers to correspondents] The in-side had a man on first and a man at the bat, with two strikes against him. As the pitcher delivered the ball, the man of first started for second and the striker went out on three strikes. The catcher delivered the ball to first-baseman, and the umpire declared the runner out, he (the umpire) claiming it a fly, three strikes, and that the man had no right to run. Was this correct? The decision was incorrect. The catch on strikes is not regarded as a fly-catch of a fair ball in the light of requiring base-runners to return to bases, as in the case of fly-catches made from fair or foul balls. It ought to be, of course, but is not.
