SECTION. 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.
