IMPORTANT Penalising Stationary Player: Umpires Must Use Their Discretion
(By "Pilgrim")
“A CERTAIN PLAYER, after he was penalised, issued a challenge to the umpire to tell 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, clause (c): "The ball shall not be picked up, kicked, thrown, carried or propelled in any man- ner or direction except with the i stick." Referring to the notes: on the Rules issued by the Inter- national Board, it says in regard to clauses (d) and (e) of Rule 10:
"If, in the opinion of the umpire, the ball is unintentionally stopper' by the body of a player, he is artidentally struck by the ball, para. 6) will not apply, and the player uld not be penalised, unless he infentes para. (e)," I have already quoted para. (e) above.
A further note on the Rules by the International Board states:
"(a). To enuse a breach of this rule there must be some definite ar- tion or movement by the player."
The fact that the player in question
was stationary at the time creates n
little smbiguity at one's mind as tu. what should have been done. Why was he penalized"

Softball Subscriptions
Sir-1 shoil be grateful if you will kindly publish the following in your esteemed paper.
I strongly object to the henvy In- crease of entrance fee in the Ladies' Softball League from $7 to $12 this reason, and 1 am sure that, those who voted in favour now clearly see that the leereuse is not justined.
Last reason the Ladies' League hadi 16 teams and pinyed altogether 45, gomes; this season with D teams, the ladies will play 2 rounds which amounts to 72 gamer. The Secretary
at the Softball Association contends that the increase is due to the higher cast of balls, but as a new ball J ent supplied for every game, and the Indies do not wear out the bail us do the men, I cannot, therefore. Ace why there should be any increase af ali.
This senson tnore travelling ex- penses will be incurred as 00% of the games will be played in Prince Edward Road ground, and ns teamS like the Wahoos, Baby Panthers und Cubs are composed of school giria, they will have to get extra money for travelling expenses from ther parents, and I am certain some of them will not relish in these hard thes
Last season the Softball League has credit butanec. and this season the Softball Association will get an extra $46.00 for afiliation fees.
the Men's League last season had 11 teams and played 55 games und this season with 15 teams play- ing 105 games, their fee is not in- Jerensed, why should the ladies be
made to pay an increase at all?
I may also mention as a matter of fnet thot Hong League fee has not been raised.

FORROW succeeded in scoring Clab's try after Butcher had made the way clear for him. His soccer instincts were too prominent, such as
using his feet instead of his banda when the ball was dribbled his way by the Navy men. This was his first game, however, and his form must he taken as promising.
Club falled miserably in the line outs, where only Stout caught und brought the ball to his feet correctly. The rest were inclined to pat back, or attempt to. Stout was, in fact, ute only Club forward to show up well. He falled miserably, however, with his attempt to convert from in front of the posts.
