[from answers to correspondents] A ground ball is struck to the first-baseman, who stoops to take it; but the ball, in rolling, when a few inches in front of his hands, strikes a small stone and bounds over his shoulder without striking his hands or any part of him. Is it an error or a base hit? ... Not an error, and certainly not a base-hit–an exceptional case.
