[from answers to correspondents] A man has reached his 3d base, another his 1st base (two hands lost) and a man at the bat knocks the ball and it is fielded to the 2d base, putting the man out running from the 1st base, and just before this 3d hand is lost the man on 3d base reaches home base. Can the tally or score be given him? The man at bat, of course, reaches 1st base, and the man who was on 3d base reaches home base before the 3d hand was lost. The time between the arrival of the man from the 3d base and the 3d hand lost was not over two or three seconds. ... The run in question counts: but had the striker been put out either on the fly or at 1st base the run would not have counted.
