SUMMARY Of RULES
GOVERNING SCORING
What Provisions of Baseball
Law Say Regarding Hits
and Errors

Many discussions are heard among
the fans I'm regard TO what are hits and
errors and about other rules In refer
ence to scoring, For the benefit of
those who do not keep posted in the
changes Of rules governing scoring, the
Evening Journal here presents a sum-
mary Of the rules provided for scoring
a game.
Many rooters think that a player
should be credited with an error when
ever he touches the ball with one or
two hands. IN case he does not retire
the runner, but this Is a mistake which
the rules win show.
Times at Bat.
The first column OF the box score Is
marked Alb. and signifies the number
of times a player has been at bat dur
ing the game. a base on balls. a hit
by pitcher and a sacrifice hit are not
counted as a time at bat. To find "a
players batting average, divide the
number Of safe hits by number Of times
az bat. The next column, marked r,
signifies the number OF runs made.
What a Safe Hit Is.
The third column IS for safe hits. A
/ base hit is when the batted BAH strikes
in fair ground and out OF the reach of
fielder. The rules provide as follows:
when a fair hit is partially or wholly
stopped by a fielder IN motion, but
such fielder cannot recover himself in
/ time to field the ball to first base be-
| fore the runner reaches that base" it is
a safe hit. Also: When the ball be hit
with such force to an infelder that he
cannot handle Il to put out the bats
man. In case Of doubt over this class
Of hits, the fielder should not be given
an error
Put Outs and Assists.
A sacrifice hit is credited to bats
man who. when not more than one
man is out advances runner by a
bunt, which results I'm the batter being
retired at first base.
a put out. or out, made by a player
is put IN the third column of the score
as used I'm The Journal. The number
Of times a player assists in retiring
"A runner is placed I'm the fourth col
umn. Every player who handles thu
ball in the play gets an assist, excep
Of course, the one who gets the out.
