It notes the first game of a doubleheader is the regular scheduled contest. Improper batsman is called out and the improper batsman is removed from the baselines, and a pitcher guilty of discolored balls is barred from further participation, with leagues often enforcing a 10 day penalty.

Baseball Rules Quiz and Clarifications
Answers cover appeal to umpire decisions on umpire ruling deferment. A batted ball that strikes foul territory and lands in fair territory between home and third is fair. A baserunner who returns to first after reaching second is liable to be put out by being touched with the ball or by holding it on the base he is entitled to. A dropped pitch during delivery is a balk. Substitutes entering without notice are treated as illegal players and their actions invalid.
