[reporting on the NL special meeting 3/3-3/4/1886] Rule 70 was amended so that in the future credit will be given in the summary for stolen bases, and battery errors will also appear in the summary instead of the tabulated account. The Sporting Life March 10, 1886

[reporting on the AA special meeting of 3/1-3/3/1886] A base-running column is added to the score by the following rule: “In the fourth columns shall be scored bases stolen (B.S.) and shall include every base made by a player except by reason of battery error, by the aid of batting, by a base on balls, by a balk or player being hit by pitched ball, or by being forced from the base.” Briefly the player gets a B.S. Every tie he gets a base on a clean steal or when he gets it on a wild throw or muffed ball in trying to put him out. The Sporting Life March 10, 1886

[reporting on the AA special meeting of 3/1-3/3/1886] An effort was made to incorporate battery errors into the error column, but St. Louis, who was working in Bushong's interest, was the only one to vote for it. The Sporting Life March 10, 1886
