IMPORTANT POINT IN HOCKEY

Penalising Stationary Player: Umpires Must Use Their

Discretion

(By "Pilgrim")

"A CERTAIN PLAYER, aftor he was ponalised, issued a challenge to the umpire to tell him what rulo 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 (e): "The ball shall not be picked up, kicked, thrown, carried or propelled in any man-| nor or direction except with the stick." Referring to the notes on the Rules issued by the Inter- national Board, it says in regard' to clauses (d) and (0) of Rule

10:

", the opinion of the umpire, the ball is unintentionally stopped by the body of a player, or he is accidentally struck by the ball, parn. (d) will not apply, and the player should not be penalised, unless he infringes park. (e), I have already quoted pura. (e) above.

A further note on the Rules by the' International Board states:

"(e). To cause a breach of this rule there must be some defalte ac- tion of movement by the player."

The fact that the player in question was stationary at the time creates n little ambiguity in one's mind us to what should have been done. Why was be penalised?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Softball Subscriptions

Sir, I shall be grateful if you will kindly publish the following in your esteemed paper.

I strongly object to the heavy In- crease of entronco fee in the Ladies' Softball League from $7 to $12 this senson, and I am sure that those, who voted in favour now clearly see that the increase is not justifled.

Last season the Ladies Lengue Altogether had 10 teams and played

45 games; this season with teams, the Indies will play 2 rounds which amounts to 72 games. The Secretary contends of the Softball Association that the increase la due to the higher cost of balls, but as a new ball is not supplied for every game, and the Jadies do not wear out the ball as do

therefore, the men, I cannot, why there should be any increase at

all.

see

This season more travelling ex- penses will be incurred as 00% of the games will be played in Prince Edward Roud ground, and as teams like the Wahoos, Baby Panthers and Cubs are composed of school stirla, they will have to get extra money for their from travelling expenses parents, and I am certain some of will not relish it in these hard them times.

Last season the Softball League has

a credit balance, and this season the Softball Association will get an extra $40.00 for affilation fees.

If the Men's League last season had 11 teams and played 50 games and this season with 15 teams play- ing 105 ganies, their fee is not in- erensed, why should the ladies ba made to pay an increase at all?

I may also mention as a matter of fact that Hong League fee has no been raloed.
