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.

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
