(Continued from Page 8.).

The draw for the various Cham-gourt from the umpire's chair, and slationary. plonships were made recently and become, momentarily, resulted as follows:-

Under this ruling, presumably, the player would have to play his shot out of the ball-box, unless he elected to claim that he was "hindered in making his stroke by something not within his control," for an empty bali-box could scarcely be regarded as a "permanent fixture of the court" when it is detached from its perch on the umpire's choir.

Witty Speeches A Feature Of

AND THE MOVING ONE The second part of the ruling also must be taken generally to refer to a stray ball, either rolling along the ground or flying through the air and it is clear that a player ought not to be inconvenienced by such a happening, though one would have thought that the question was already suficiently covered by Rule 21. Indeed, the ruling must, I suppose, be taken as being an interpretation of that rule rather than its the solution 10.30 Eng. Com. Davies & Li-Com of a "knotty point."
