SEC. 9. If, at any time while the ball is in play, he be touched by the
ball in the hands of a Fielder, unless some part of his person is touching
a base he is entitled to occupy: _Provided_, The ball be held by the
Fielder after touching him; but (exception as to First Base), in running
to First Base, he may overrun said base without being put out for being
off said base, after first touching it, provided he returns at once and
retouches the base, after which he may be put out as at any other base.
If, in overrunning First Base, he also attempts to run to Second Base, or,
after passing the base he turns to his left from the foul line, he shall
forfeit such exemption from being put out.
SEC. 10. If, when a Fair or Foul Hit ball, other than a foul tip as
referred to in Rule 38, is legally caught by a Fielder, such ball is
legally held by a Fielder on the base occupied by the Base Runner when
such ball was struck (or the Base Runner be touched with the ball in the
hands of a Fielder), before he retouches said base after such Fair or Foul
Hit ball was so caught. _Provided_, That the Base Runner shall not be out
in such case, if, after the ball was legally caught as above, it be
delivered to the bat by the Pitcher before the Fielder holds it on said
base, or touches the Base Runner with it; but if the Base Runner in
attempting to reach a base, detaches it before being touched or forced out
he shall be declared safe.
SEC. 11. If, when a Batsman becomes a Base Runner, the First Base, or the
First and Second Bases, or the First, Second and Third Bases, be occupied,
any Base Runner so occupying a base shall cease to be entitled to hold it,
until any following Base Runner is put out and may be put out at the next
base or by being touched by the ball in the hands of a Fielder in the same
manner as in running to First Base, at any time before any following Base
Runner is put out.
SEC. 12. If a Fair Hit ball strike him _before touching the fielder_ and
in such case no base shall be run unless forced by the Batsman becoming a
Base Runner, and no run shall be scored.
SEC. 13. If when running to a base or forced to return to a base, he fail
to touch the intervening base or bases, if any, in the order prescribed in
Rule 45, he may be put out at the base he fails to touch, or by being
touched by the ball in the hands of a Fielder, in the same manner as in
running to First Base.
SEC. 14. If, when the Umpire calls "Play," after any suspension of a
game, he fails to return to and touch the base he occupied when "Time" was
called before touching the next base.
WHEN BATSMAN OR BASE RUNNER IS OUT.

waiting for an appeal for such decision, in all cases where such player is
put out in accordance with these rules, except as provided in Rule 48,
Sections 10 and 14.
