Date	Saturday, May 4, 1872
Text	[Mutual vs. Baltimore 4/22/1872] York hit a fair foul, the ball rolling on to the foul line, and Craver, in running to home, struck it with his foot, York, in the meantime making first. {A claim of obstructing the ball was here made, but as the ball was directly in the way and the runner neither shortened nor lengthened his steps when nearing the ball, and the probabilities being that it was accident, Craver was given his score by the umpire.}[square brackets in the original] ... The rule says that should the player at the bat, or running the bases, “designedly” kick the ball, he must be given out. It lies with the umpire to judge of the intention of playing foully or not.
