Text	An important measure adopted [by the NL] is that relating to scoring the games, which has, for the first time, been recognized as a part of the game. By a new section it is made the duty of each club to appoint a proper man to score all games on its own grounds. This official scorer must keep an accurate account of times at bat, runs, base-hits, errors, etc., on a blank provided by the League for the purpose, and must forward the filled blank to the Secretary within twenty-four hours after the close of the game. It is made the duty of the Secretary to compile from these official scores such data as may be asked of him by the daily press, and at the end of the season he must tabulate all he has received. This will be taken as the ground of the championship award.
