Text	Earned runs are intended solely as a criterion of the pitching, and therefore no other errors nor skill in base-running should be taken into the calculation. For instance, a batsman makes a base hit; he then successfully steals second and third, and runs home on a hit to right short, on which the striker only could have been put out. This is an earned run in one sense of the word, but it is not a run earned off the pitching. To be so, the man who led off with a first-base hit should be either sent to second on another such hit, and then ag ain to third, or sent home on a second or third base hit, before chances for three outs are offered off the pitching.
