Rase ball had been going for : time when it dawned upon its playe and those who thought about it to the extent of everlastingly trying to im- prove it that the firat-bound catch had comse to be such a sure thing that it should be stopped. More than that, the fielders were becoming better all the time. Men who had been unable to get up to a Ay ball when the game rst began devel ext i oped. for old4imers, and some of them Mmm so proficient that the outfield positions, once esteemed to be berths only for heavy batters, began to look up, and_ the captains chose smart flelders .l' qu’lrln:.‘ smart batters for their organt 0} The out on first bound went over- board in 1864. The Civil War was on, and the soldiers, who played base ball a great deal, had proved that the game could become' better than its first players had anticipated. More and more the evolution of the United States athlete was bringing out the possibilities in a game which demands all kinds of skill and can take advan-| tage of the best there is in the human me. The first-bound out on_fouls still continued to be in effect. It made no difference where the foul ball was hit, If the fielder could get the ball on the first bound on the base line, away out on the outfield foul line, or if the catcher got it behind the bat, the batter wa® out.

The rule then read that the bat- ter was out if the catcher momentarily held the ball after the third strike, providing the strike had heen called before the ball struck the ground National Acts First. In 1883 the N onal League decided that no m first-bound catches would retire batters who hit fouls. The American Assocfation did nof make at change until 1886. In this period controversy waxed long and profane. Those who played base ball the Asso-| ciation way said their game was a lot more skillful than the game of the nal League, because their out ers could run like deer acrose the wide expanses that often prevailed in those days {n the outfleld and make beautiful catohes on the first bound of batted balls. They did make fine catches on those plays, too, but the chanees of batters were cut down a | lot, and by and by the American Asso- clation began to see that the National League would have the biggest hitters| from year to year iIf they did not change their game to conform to that the older organization. They changed it, and went out for good and all. Sometimes in making these pretty first-bound catches a, flelder would col- lide with a stand and get a hard bump. If he recovered the ball, the play appeared all the grander to the ex- citable fan. A Natfonal Leagua man asked an American Association man why the latter organization had at last aban- doned the firg-bound out. “I' tell you,” the Assciation man replied. “We found wooden stands harder than the skulls of some of our players, and the skulls the benefit of the doubt.” ‘This conoludes the “When Bass Ball ‘Was Young” seriea.
