clusion an equal number of hands Tin
nings for each side) must be played.
The ball must be pitched, not
thrown for the bat.
"A ball knocked out of the field. or
outside the range of first or third base is
fcul.
Three balls being struck at and
missed, and the last one caught, is a
hand out; if not caught, is considered
fair and the striker bound to run.
IF a ball is struck or tipped, and
caught either flying or on the first
bound, it is hand out.
"a player running the bases shall be
out if the ball is in the hands of an
on the base if the runner is
touched with it before he makes his
base; it being understood, however that
in no instance is a ball to be thrown at
him
"a player running who shall prevent
an adversary from catching or getting
the ball before making his base is hand
out.
Three hands out all out.
Players must take their strikes in
regular turn.
"All disputes and differences relative
to the game to be decided by the UNI
Dire, from which there is no appeal.
mo ace (score) or base can be made
IN a foul strike.
"a runner cannot be put out in max
ng one base when a balk is made by
