But there | Third '153, The Goods 156, Yankee is just one fault of foot-faulting 161, Zephyr 155. which, while enforceable by the umpire in the chair when act- ing alone appears to be unenforce- able either by base-line umpire or font-fault judge, because of their position on the "surround" of the court. This is the breach ac- casioned by a player who, serving from very nearly the centre of the base-line, does not keep his feet to the proper side of the "centre- | mark," which denotes the im- aginary continuation of the centre service-line. This is a very fre quent offence; but it is quite clear that nefther base-line umpire tor foot-fault judge, sented at some distance from the end of the base-line, can see the exact posi. tion
the player's feet as re- gards the centre of that line. The proposed regulation is obvious. ty.incompetent to do so in certain
cases.
Frequent Offence.
For though the umpire in the chair can see the infringement, he would be powerless to inflict the penalty for it if either a base-lino umpire or a foot-fault judge were officiating, since it would be their duty to call all foot-faults, and this particular from of foot- fault is one which they would be unable to detect. If there happened to be
centro- Ine umpire, he would naturally observe the infringement, but, in any case, he is an even rarer bird than a base-line umpire or a foot- fault judge, and, in the presence of either of them would apparently have to remain as dumb as the umpire in the chair. It is rather a pretty problem; It remains to be soon how it will be dealt with by the law givers. That ought to be definitely settled ad mits of no question..
