Text	The application of this rule in baseball is, that the striker cannot be put out on a called or balked ball–equivalent to a [cricket] no ball–and neither can he run his base, because he does not thereby hit a fair ball. But players on bases can run their bases on dead balls; they, of course, being liable to being put out just the same as when running bases under ordinary circumstances. Next year, should this rule not work well, it will be expunged or changed; but nothing can be done this year, as all action of the existing Committee of Rules has to be indorsed by the Convention before rules go into effect. A rule was introduced governing running bases on called balls; but it was not properly worded, and therefore was not carried, only the first part of Law 10 being adopted.
