Text	[Union vs. Atlantic 10/6/1868] On an appeal of the scorers as to whether Goldie’s run counted, the umpire at first decided that it did not, but afterward corrected his error by giving him the run, the “striker” not having been put out before the run was made. Dr. Jones’ amendment to the rule which prohibited runs being scored after two hands were put out if the striker of the ball was put out, no matter where, being in conflict with the spirit of the rule, has not been observed this season. The Doctor inserted the words “of it” after the word “striker”, but it is considered questionable whether this covers the ground. At any rate, the rule which governs the play now is, that all runs count after two hands are out, provided the third hand is not put out before reaching the first-base; and the rule will be amended, not, doubt, to make this a permanent law of the game.
