Out. 5. The fieldsman must return the ball so that it shall cross the space between the wicket and the bowling stump, or between the bowling stumps and the bounds; the striker may run till the ball be so returned. 6. After the striker has made one run, he must touch the bowling stump, and run before the ball shall cross the play, to entitle him to another. 7. The striker shall be entitled to three runs for lost ball, and the same number for ball stopped with bat. 8. When there shall be more than four players to a side, there shall be no bounds; all _hits_, _byes_, and _overthrows_, will then be allowed. 9.

If the runs of one player be betted against those of another, the bet depends on the first innings, unless otherwise specified. 3.
