While on the subject of rules, I might state that if a fioldaman, after stopping the ball within the playing ground runs on to the boundary, the hit shall NOT be scored as a boundary. There is nothing definite about this point in the rules, but in Wisdona, un- der the Instructions To Umpires, it atatos:-
If a ball bit or pass over or through the boundary or is car ried over it by the fieldaman the umpire should call a boundary hit, but 2 Roidoman may lead against the boundary to catch or Beld a ball, and If a feldamin when standing within the playing ground, even though he be touch ing the boundary, catch a ball out side the boundary the bataman should be given out,**
My reason for bringing up this point is because there was name argument about this on Saturday, Alves, the Recreio coverpoint, ran after the ball, stopped it with his foot, and then becausé he could not pull himself up (there was only about a yard to the net along the boundary), ran on to the net. The umpire did not signal a four, but I was told that it was daimed
