| Text | [The Atlantics are trying to schedule a trip to Cincinnati on short notice:] The next day, Mr. Henry [of the Atlantics] called on Georgie Zettlein and Charlie Hunt, obtaining for them leave to go on the trip... National Chronicle November 20, 1869 [The Atlantics earlier in the season begging off a trip to Cincinnati, from a letter from William Hudson, secretary of the Atlantic BBC to John Joyce, secretary of the Cincinnati BBC dated August 19, 1869:] To be frank, I must say that we have arrived at a conclusion which is very doubtful. Two of our most important men–Zettlein, the pitcher, and Smith the third base man–say that, from present appearances, it is very doubtful whether they can leave their business for so long a time. National Chronicle December 4, 1869 scoring on an inning-ending double play [from Answers to Correspondents] Suppose A is on first-base and B on third, second-base vacant. There is one hand out, when the striker makes a fair hit and the ball is fielded to second-base, cutting off A, then to first-base, retiring the Striker; But makes home after A is put out at second, but before the third hand is retired at first. Does B’s run count in the score of the game? Again, suppose in the case above cited, B makes home before A is put out a second base, would his run count? {Sec. 5 of Rule 4th says: “A player making the home-base shall be entitled to score one run; but if two hands are already out, no player running home at the time a fair ball is struck, can make a run to count in the score of the game if the striker or player running the bases is put out before touching first-base.” This rule wants rewording; but even under its present reading, as applied to the cases quoted by our correspondent, in both instances the run counted, as in both the player reaching home before the third hand was put out, and in both he was running home before two hands were already out.} New York Sunday Mercury November 21, 1869 |
