Text	We wrote the Secretary Nick Young, of the League, and asked him...: When a batter strikes three times at a ball, and the catcher fails to hold it on the last strike, but fields the batter out at first base, is it not a strike out? … Mr. Young replies as follows: “...I should say 'Yes,' for the reason that it was not through any fault or good play of the batter that he was not put out by the catcher; but the latter player, having missed the third strike, took advantage of his only remaining opportunity to redeem the error by fielding the player out at first base. There are two sides to this question, and I am inclined to think that a strong argument could be made in favor of the other side, but the above expresses my private opinion of the case.
