captain. When the entire succession of outer basemen have thus caught
the ball, whether in regular rotation or not, two extra points shall
be scored; thus with 5 basemen, 6 points would be scored for such a
play.

Two points additional shall be scored when such a play ends with a
successful throw to the captain. With 5 outer bases, this would mean a
score of 8 points.

Under all other circumstances, one point only shall be scored whenever
the captain catches the ball from a baseman of his team.

No score shall be made on a catch by a baseman or captain from a
guard.

One point shall be scored for the opponents whenever a foul is made,
and the ball shall then be put in play again from the center.

The ball shall cease to score:

(1) After being caught by the captain; (_i.e._, the captain's
catch scores, but no throw made by him scores if caught).

(2) When it gets to the hands of a baseman who has previously
had it in the same play; (_i.e._, this catch does not score).

(3) When it gets to the hands of an opponent.

The ball continues in play under all of the above-mentioned
circumstances. When a foul is committed it goes to the center for a
new start.

FOULS.--It shall be a foul: to carry the ball (_i.e._, to take more
than one step with it).

To hold it longer than time enough to turn around quickly, or three
seconds.

To touch the ball in any way while it is in the hands of any other
player.

To touch or trip an opponent.

For guards to step into the neutral strip or the opponents' territory.

It shall be a foul for a baseman to step out of his base with more
than one foot at a time, or for a guard to step within a base in any
way.

One point shall be scored for the opponents whenever a foul is
committed, and the ball is then put newly in play.
