Text | [Eagle vs. Pastime 9/2/1859] ...Houseman ran to 2d base without touching the first base, the ball was sent to 1st base, and an appeal made, but he was decided in, and correctly, too, as far as the rules go, for there is no mention of a player having to touch his base, which he certainly ought to be made to do, as otherwise on running to third base he can gain several yards by not doing so. The rules are not as correct as they should be, and probably will be next season, and therefore we comment thus upon them for the purpose of drawing attention to these disputed points. |
