Text | [reporting on the new rules] In running to first base, [the striker] is allowed to over-run his base after touching, and in doing so he cannot be put out unless he fails to return to the base immediately or attempts to run to 2d base. This rule was suggested by George Wright, whose lameness, like that of many other players, is attributable to an effort to check his speed when running to first base. The new rule, by allowing the base runner time to stop beyond, will avoid a frequent cause of injuries to base runners. |
