What happens in the following situation:
Player A is on first, and player B, a speedster, is batting.
B hits a very high fly ball to right field and starts running.
Since the ball might be caught, A holds up. By the time the right fielder
has just missed catching the ball and it goes into the corner,
B has caught up with A at first base.

Does B have to stop and let A go ahead to second? I assume both players
can't stop on one base. But what if B could make it to the next base
and A can't?
