Comments On Penalty Bully
Infringements Within The
The Circle: When Goals
Goals Are Awarded
For any breach of any Rulo (except Rulo 9) and for an intentional breach of Rule 9, after a warning by the umpire:
(i) by the attacker, the game shall be restarted at the centre of the noaror twenty-five yard line,
(ii) by a defonder, a goal shall be awarded to the opposing side. For a simultaneous breach of Rule 9 and 10 by both players, the bully shall be played again.
Distinctly Laid Down
i
It is distinctly laid down that a penalty bully is to be ordered when the scoring of a goal is prevented by any breach of Rule 10, whether intentional or otherwise.
If it is considered that a foul by a defender inside the circle has deprived the attacker of a certain goal, give a penalty bully. Don't think or allow the players to think that a penalty bully is only awarded for a de- liberate breach of a rule.
وز
Some players are apt to regard the award of a penalty bully as a per sonal reflection on their play; it nothing of the sort. It is only in- tended to be a more severe penalty than a penalty corner, because the breach of the rule took place in position from which a goal might, or

Points That Local
Softball Pitchers Might Bear In Mind
By "Ball Fan"
THE CALIBRE of softball in the Colony has im proved tremendously since its inception and start a few years back. Many of the teams are dishing out a brand of real classy ball both in the field and with the willow- wand. The only position which has not kept pace with the upward trend, since the introduction of this game here, appears to be the pitching department.
Hurling seems to be a lost art hero in Hongkong. The vital question-"What does one need, to become a good softball pit- cher," has been heard many times over.
