 tion to the umpires, a referee may be appointed, whose decision 
 shall be final. : \ ' '* ' '• . 
 
 5. In all matches the number of players to be limited to four

 12. When a ball is hit out of bounds it must be thrown into 
 the playground by the umpire. , 
 
 13. A player may ride out an antagonist or interpose his 
 pony before his antagonist so as 10 prevent the latter from 
 reaching the ball, but he may not cross another player in pos- 
 session of the ball, excepting at such distance as to avoid all 
 risk of a, collision. 
 
 Definition of '* Crossing^ — If two players are riding from 
 different directions to hit the ball, and a collision appears prob- 
 able, then the player in possession of the ball— /.<?., he who has 
 hit the ball, or who is coming in the direction from which the 
 ball was last hit — must be given way to. 
 
 14. No player shall put his stick over his adversary's pony, 
 either in front or behind, nor put his stick in front of a pony's 
 legs, so as to endanger tripping the pony up ; nor shall any 
 player in any way impede the stick of any other player who is 
 actually on the ball. That no player shall crook his adversary's 
 stick unless he is on the same side of the pony as the ball, or 
 immediately behind. 
 
 15. No player who is off side shall hit the ball, or shall in 
 any way prevent the opposite side from reaching or hitting the 
 ball. 
 
 Definition of^* Off Side.'*'' — A player is ** offside " when, at 
 the time of the ball being hit, he has no one of the opposite side 
 between him and the adversaries' goal-line or behind that goal- 
 line, and he is neither in possession of the ball nor behind one 
 of his own side who is in possession of the ball. The position 
 of the players is to be considered at the time the ball was last 
 hit — i. e. a player, if on side when the ball was last hit, remains 
 on side until it is hit again. 
 
 16. In case of a foul (viz., infringement of Rules 13, 14 and 
 15) the umpire shall stop the game, and the side that has been 
 fouled may claim either of the following penalties : 
 
 (a) A free hit from where the ball was when the foul took 
 place, none of the opposing side to be within 10 yards 
 of the ball. 
 
 (/') That the side which caused the foul take the ball back 
 and hit it off from behind their own goal-line.

 17. Ends shall he changed after every goal, or if no goal 
 have been obtained, after half-time. The ball must go over and 
 clear of the line to be out, or to score a goal. If the ball be 
 damaged the umpire must stop the game and throw in a new 
 one at the place where it was broken, and at right angles to the 
 length of the ground. 
 
 18. Should a player's stick' be broken he must ride to the 
 place where sticks are kept and take one. On no account is a 
 stick to be brought to him. 
 
 19. In the event of a stick being dropped the player must 
 pick it up himself. No dismounted player is allowed to hit the 
 ball. 
 
 20. No persons allowed within the arena — players, umpires 
 and manager excepted. 
 
 21. That, in the event of any player having a fall, or if, in 
 the opinion of the umpire, any player shall be hurt in any way 
 to prevent his playing, the umpire shall in that case stop the 
 game and allow time for the dismounted man to mount, or the 
 injured man to be replaced. On play being recommenced the 
 ball shall be thrown in where it was when the accident 
 occurred.

 sions when sanctioned by the committee.
