[from answers to correspondents] In a game here to-day one club were batting quite a number of fair-fouls, and the captain of the other side placed his third-baseman about three feet outside of the foul line, when the umpire ordered him (the third-baseman) to play inside the foul lines, which he did. Now, has the umpire any right to change the position of a baseman against his will, as in the above case? … Certainly not. The player has a right to stand outside the foul line or anywhere else his captain may tell him to play.
