NATURAL WEAKNESSES
This Rule was undoubtedly created in the long ago to prevent such accidents as these. If infringements are made and umpires are lenient, the game gets out of hand, for human nature being what it is, players will take ad- vantage of a non-too-strict umpire, not only in regard to Rule 10 but with regard to others, too.
