Text	[Mutual of New York vs. Lone Star of New Orleans, 12/–/1869] A double-play by Walters and Flanly was spoiled...by a mistake of the umpire. The ball was hit by the batsman as it rebounded from the ground in front of the home-base, and the umpire called out “foul strike”, and the ball going foul the batsman and base runners were put out. But the umpire decided no one out on a foul strike. Now, the batsman has the right to hit any ball bounding to him as if it came from a fair pitch. The only foul strike the umpire can call is that made when the striker does not stand astride the line of the home-base when he strikes at the ball, or when he takes a backward step.
