within the striking circle been hit by or glanced off the stick of a player on the attacking side.

When a player hits the ball, any other player of the same side who is nearer his opponent's goal line at the moment when the ball is hit is "off-side" unless there be at least three of his opponents nearer their own goal line, and he may not touch the ball himself, nor approach, nor remain within five yards of it, nor in any way interfere with any other player until the ball has been touched or hit by one of the other side.

RULE XIII.

GENERAL DETAILS.

The ball may be caught (but it must be at once dropped on the ground) or stopped with any part of the body; but it must not be picked up, carried, kicked, thrown, or knocked back or forth, except with the stick. There shall be no play, either in hitting or stopping the ball with the back of the stick.

No charging, kicking, collaring, shinning or tripping shall be allowed. Hooking sticks is allowable only when one of the players is within striking distance of the ball, but no striking at sticks shall be allowed. A player may hook the stick, but not the person of his opponent. A player shall not run in between his opponent and the ball so as to obstruct him, nor cross him from the left so as to foul him, nor in any way interpose his person so as to obstruct him. In the event of a player crossing from the left and touching the ball before touching his opponent, it shall not be considered a foul.

The goal keeper shall be allowed to kick the ball (except in the case of a penalty bully) so long as it is within the striking circle. No left-handed play shall be allowed. A ball touching an umpire is not dead and does not stop the game.

RULE XIV.
"STICKS."

When a player strikes at the ball, his stick must not during any portion of the stroke rise above his shoulder. The umpire shall rigidly enforce this rule without waiting for an appeal. No player may interfere in any way with the game unless his stick be in his hand.

For any breach of Rules XII, XIII, XIV, and XV by the attacking side, committed inside the striking circle a "free hit" may be claimed by the defending side. For any breach of Rules XII, XIV, and XV by the defending side inside the striking circle, the attacking side can only claim a bully. No claim for any breach of rules by the defaulting side to be allowed.

RULE XVII.

PENALTY BULLY.

For any breach of Rules XIII and XIV except, so far as Rule XIV applies to "sticks," committed by the defending side inside the striking circle the attacking side may claim a "penalty bully" (from which a goal may be scored direct) to be between the offender and one player selected by the other side, and to take place at the spot where the breach occurs. At the time of the "penalty bully" both the defending and attacking sides to be outside the striking circle, and the ball shall not be in play for either side until driven outside the striking circle, when all players shall be "on side." A "penalty bully" is awarded at the discretion of the umpire in whose half the breach occurred.

RULE XVIII.

PENALTY GOAL.

For any breach of Rule XVII by the defending side, the attacking side shall be awarded a penalty goal, and for any breach by the attacking side the defenders shall be allowed a free hit.

RULE XIX.
