SEC. 3. In the third column should be placed the first base hits made by each player. A base hit should be scored in the following cases:
When the ball from the bat strikes the ground within the foul lines, and out of reach of the fielders.
When a hit ball is partially or wholly stopped by a fielder in motion, but such player cannot recover himself in time to handle the ball before the striker reaches First Base.
When a hit ball is hit so sharply to an infielder that he cannot handle it in time to put out the batsman. In case of doubt over this class of hits, score a base hit, and exempt the fielder from the charge of an error.
When a ball is hit so slowly towards a fielder that he cannot handle it in time to put out the batsman.
That in all cases where a base runner is retired by being hit by a batted ball, the batsman should be credited with a base hit.
When a batted ball hits the person or clothing of the Umpire, as defined in Rule 37.
SEC. 4. In the fourth column shall be placed Sacrifice Hits, which shall be credited to the batsman, who when but one man is out advances a runner a base on a fly to the outfield or a ground hit, which results in putting out the batsman, or would so result if handled without error.
FIELDING.
SEC. 5. The number of opponents put out by each player shall be set down in the fifth column. Where a striker is given out by the Umpire for a foul strike, or because he struck out of his turn, the put-out shall be scored to the Catcher.
