LIBEL BY TELEGRAM.

HIGH WORDS BETWEEN COMPANY AND SHARE- HOLDER

A picturesquely worded tele- gram sont to Mr. Robert Davies, of a Tonypandy printing works, was the ground for a libel action by mim: at Glamörgan, Ass/kes

London.

Sir Els Griffith, K. C., for the plaintiff said Mr. Roberts and his friends purchased shares in the company, but the latter's replies to questions by Mr. Roberts showed a frame of mind which was ready to take offence at quite ordinary basmess questions.

Whenever anybody suggests the alteration of this or that foot- ball rule, the stock argument by Way of reply generally runs liks recently. this "Oh, but football-is-now --Defendants-were-a-rubbar’eam- very fine game. Look howpany, the Batavia, and General popular it is. If you start tinker- Plantation Trust, Limited, of ing with the rules, it is more than likely that you will spoil the game entirely." Yet the rules of football have been altered from time to time. Nay, we might almost say that the present-day regulations in regard to the actual play have only been arrived at by

■ course of evolution, and that the game as played to-day is really very different from the game of, say, 40 or 50 years ago,

For instance, old goalkeepers tell the grimmest of stories about the duties which fell to their lot in the olden days before the custodian was put in a glass case," as the saying is now. Long ago, a goalkeeper in posses sion of the ball was fair game for any opponent, and he could be tackled without the referee's whistle sounding in practically any way the forward cared to do it. Nowadays, of course, you can only charge a goalkeeper just as you would anybody else on the field, and quite a few referees I have come AC PORS even this season will not allow you to do even that much.

THE OFFSIDE RULE.

Even in recent times there have fbeen alterations made in the rules which, speaking generally, have all tended to improve the game. Ever since I have had anything to do with football, and for quite a long time before then, 1 imagine,
