Text	On the first day's play, there was no chalk line made between the home and 1st and 3d bases, as the rule requires. This should be attended to at every match. It would be well, too, to mark the home base line of six feet in length on which the striker is required by the rules to stand. Every player running the bases should be required to touch them. Section 18 says, “players must make their bases;” now a base is not made, in the sense of the rule, until it is touched. In cases of foul balls, too, the player running the bases should remain on the base, after he has returned to it, until the ball has been settled in the hands of the pitcher. When a ball is caught on the fly, however, the moment he has touched his base, provided he does so after the ball has been caught, he can try to make the next base without waiting for the pitcher to get the ball.
