Text | [a correspondent from St. Louis writes] It is a well-known fact, however strange, that whenever a hit is made to the neighborhood of the foul line, some one almost invariably cried “Foul!” This being so often the case, players running the bases have to judge for themselves and run the risk of being put out one way or the other, or appeal directly to the umpire for information. I have seen many a case where a player has been put out on a forced run, or saved his base by the skin of his teeth only, and by no fault of his own, from this outside interference, the advantage of such mistake being all on the side of the field. |
