Comments On Penalty Bully

Infringements Within The Circle: When Goals Are Awarded

For any breach of any Rule (except Rule 9) and for an intentional breach of Rule 9, after a warning by the umpire:

(i) by the attacker, the gamo shall be restarted at the contro of tho noarer twenty-fivo yard lino,

(ii) by a defender, 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

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.

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: here in Hongkong. The vital question "What does one need, to become a good softball pit-j cher," has been heard many times over.

Interport Selectors Make The Best Of

A Bad Job

THE SECOND INTERPORT TRIAL was held at the Club ground last Tuesday at 11 a.m., and though some well known players were missing two well-balanced teams were chosen and both halves of the game proved interest- ing.

It is retaken when the ball goes off the defender and over that part | of the goal-line which is within the circle, other than between the posts.

Sar

Wind-ups generally fall into two classifications, ---the "windmill" and the "Agure-eight. The principal de- ception of the windmill wind-up is that the batter does not know an which swing of the arm he will have to hit at the ball.

It first came into prominence dur- ing the world championship meet of 1934 with Arizona's classy re-. presentatives as its chief exponents.

Tho Ogurs-eight or "pretzel" wind-up is most popular with icad- Ing pitchers. With this wind-up, not only is deception emphasised but the whole weight of the body is be- hind the release of the pitch.

Mary-Ng, Canadian-Chinese-mourd- star, although lacking in control, uses a combination of both wind- ups with fairly good results.
