LAWS OF LACROSSE.

Rule 1. — The Crosse

Sec. 1. The Crosse may be of any length to suit the
player, and shall not exceed one foot in width. It shall
be woven with cat-gut which must not be bagged. " Cat-
gut" is intended to mean raw-hide, gut or clock-string ;
not cord or soft leather. The netting shall be flat when
the ball is not on it. A string must be brought through
a hole in the- side of the tip of the turn, to prevent the
point of the stick catching an opponent's Crosse. A
leading-string resting upon the top of the stick may be
used, but shall not be fastened, so as to form a pocket,
lower down the stick than the end of the length-string.
The length-strings shall be woven to within two inches
of their termination, so that the ball cannot catch in the
meshes. Metal of any kind shall not be allowed upon
the Crosse ; splices must be made either with string or gut.

Rule II. — The Ball.

The Ball shall be India-rubber sponge, not less than
seven and three-quarters nor more than eight inches in
circumference, and from four and a-half to five ounces in
weight. In matches it shall be furnished by the club that
selects the ground on which the match is to be played.
