Text | [from Answers to Correspondents] “Knickerbocker” wants to know whether there is anything in the rules which prevents the captain of a nine from taking a fielder from his position any where in front of the bat and playing him behind the catcher to catch foul balls. We cannot find anything in the rules prohibiting such a course; and there is nothing to prevent an umpire from deciding a player out from a catch made in any part of the field by any player of the fielding nine or regular side of “ten” or more as the case may be. |
