Daily Trivia #24

 On 14 January 1898, John Darling, later to be captain of Australia entered the record books for a piece of trivia - he had just whacked a ball out of the Adelaide Oval. This "first" had taken 54 Tests to happen. By the end of the Test, which Australia won by an innings, he had done it twice more.

What in the rule book back then ensured his effort became the first?
