RULE XIII. BALL IN AN INACCESSIBLE PLACE. 



Should the ball lodge in any place inaccessible to the crosse, it may be 

 taken out with the hand, and the party picking it up must " face" with 

 his nearest opponent. 



RULE XIV. BALL OUT OF BOUNDS. 



Balls thrown out of bounds must be " faced " for at the nearest spot 

 within the bounds, and all the players shall remain in their places until 

 the ball is faced. The Referee shall see that this is properly done, and 

 when both sides are ready shall call play. The " bounds" must be dis- 

 tinctly settled by the Captains before the commencement of the match. 



RULE XV. THROWING THE CROSSE. 



No player shall throw his crosse at a player or at the ball, under any 

 circumstances ; and such action will be considered a " foul." Should a 

 player lose his crosse during a game, he shall consider himself " out of 

 pl> i y," and shall not be allowed to touch the ball in any way until he 

 again recovers it. Kicking is absolutely prohibited to players without a 

 crosse. 



RULE XVI. ACCIDENTAL GAMES. 



Should the ball be accidentally put through a goal by one of the play- 

 ers defending it, it is game for the side attacking that goal. Should it be 

 put through a goal by any one not actually a player it shall not count. 



RULE XVII. BALL CATCHING IN NETTING. 



Should the ball catch in the netting, the crosse must immediately be 

 struck on the ground, to dislodge it. 



RULE XVIII. ROUGH PLAY, &c. 



No player shall grasp an opponent's stick with his hands, hold with his 

 arms, or between his legs; nor shall any player hold his opponent's 

 crosse with his crosse in any way to keep him from the ball until another 

 player reaches it. No player, with his crosse or otherwise, shall hold, 

 deliberately strike, or trip another, nor push with the hand ; nor must any 

 player jump at to shoulder an opponent from behind while running for or 

 before reaching the ball ; nor wrestle with the legs entwined, so as to 

 throw an opponent.
