Text	The umpire must bear in mind that the striker, running to the first base, is not out unless the ball is held on the base by the baseman before the striker touches it. If at the same time, the striker is not out; it must be palpable that the ball was held on the base before the striker reached it, or he is not out. It should be remembered that the ball is to be held by the base player with some part of his person touching the base at the same time. Touching the base with the ball in the player’s hand without some part of the player’s person touching the base at the same time does not put the striker out at first base. “Holding the ball on the base” means having the ball in hand whiel standing on the base or touching it.
