Text	Among the amendments to the rules likely to be adopted in March next are two or three which should commend themselves to special favor with the fraternity. One is a rule allowing all bases to be overrun... The object of the first rule is to reduce the number of injuries to players from base-running... New York Sunday Mercury January 10, 1875 Of course no base is overrun in the case of a home run, nor is first or second overrun on a three-base hit. New York Clipper January 23, 1875 [the rules deliberations at the professional convention:] The overrunning of all the bases was not presented... [perhaps due to lack of time] New York Clipper March 13, 1875
