IMPORTANT POINT
Penalising Stationary Player: Umpires Must Use Their Discretion
(By "Pilgrim")
"A CERTAIN PLAYER, after he was penalised, issued a challenge to the umpire to toll him what rule of the game he had broken. It appears he was absolutely stationary and the ball rebounded off his body.
The umpire penalised, although, as the offender says: 'My leg was stationary, the ball was not hit by me, it was not carried by me, nor was it propelled by me.' He, there- fore, challenges the umpire to tell him the rules he has broken-Quite an interesting point.”
NOW let us refer to Rule 10,) chuse (e): "The ball shall not be picked up, kicked, thrown, carried or propelled in any man- ner or direction except with the stick." Referring to the notes on the Rules issued by the Inter- national Board, it says in regard to clauses (d) and (e) of Rute 10:
"H. n the opinion of the umpire, the bait le vulntentionally stopped by the body of a player, or he is eutally struck by the bait, para. (it will not apply, and the player
uld not be penalised, unless te! infringes para, (c)." I have already quoted para, (e) above.
A further note on the Rules by the International Bourd alates:
"(e). To cause a breach of this rule there must be sime dethute se- tuan or movement by the play."
The fact that the player in question was stationary at the time creates n

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Softball Subscriptions
Sir, shall be grateful if you will kindly publish the following in your esteemed paper.
I strongly object to the heavy in- erenze of entrance fee In the Ladies' Softball League from $7 to $12 this rehron, and I am sure that those who voted in favour now clearly see that the increase is not justified.
Last season the Ladies' League had 10 teams and played' altogether 45 gomes; this sensen with teams, the latties will play 2 rounds which amounts to 72 games. The Secretary of the Softball Assoelation contends that the increase is due to the higher cost of balls, but as a new ball ta not supplied for every game, and the ladies do not wear out the bill as do see the men, I carent, therefore, why there should be any increase at all.
This scuson mom travelling ex- penses will be incurred as 90s of the games will be played in Prince Edward Road ground, and on teams ke the Wahods, Baby Panthers mul Cubs are composed of school girls, they will have to get extra money for their travelling
from expenses parents, and I am certain some of them will not relish it in these hard tunes.
Last season the Softball League has In credit huinnce, and this season the Softball Association will get an extra $40.00 for affilation fees.
If the Men's League last sensum bad 1 teams and played 55 games Tand this season with 15 teams play- fing 105 games, their fee is not in- erensed, why should the ladies be made to pay an increase at all?
I may also inention as a matter of fact that Hong League fee has not been raised.

FORROW succeeded in scoring Club's try after Butcher had made the way elcar for him. His soccer Instincts were too prominent, such as tering his feet instead of his hands when the ball was dribbled his way by the Navy men. This was his first game, however, and his form must be taken as promising.
Club falled iniserably in the line nats, where only Stout caught and brought the ball to his feet correctly. 1 The rest were inclined to pat back, or attempt to. Stout was, in fact, the only Club forward to show up well: ile failed miserably, however, with his attempt to convert from in front of the posts. -
