The game is played on ice by teams of seven on each side, with a puck made of vulcanized rubber, one inch thick all through and three inches in diameter. STICKS. 2. Hockey sticks shall not be more than three inches wide at any part, and not more than thirteen inches long at the blade. They shall consist entirely of wood, with tape binding per- missible. GOAL. 3. A goal is placed in the middle of each goal line, composed of official goal nets supported by two upright posts, four feet in height, placed six feet apart, and at least five feet from the end of the ice. The goal posts shall be firmly fixed. In the event of a goal post or net being displaced or broken, the referee shall blow his whistle, and the game shall not proceed until the post or net is replaced. It shall be the duty of the referee before each match to measure the goals. MATCH. 4. Each side shall have a captain (a member of his team), who, before the match, shall toss for choice of goals. 5. Each side shall play an equal time from each end, a ten minutes' rest being allowed at half time. The duration of cham- pionship matches shall be one hour, exclusive of stoppages. The team scoring the greater number of goals in that time shall be de- clared the winner of the match, subject to the qualifications con- tained in Rules of Competition, No. 15. If at the end of that time the game is a draw, ends shall be changed and the match continued for ten minutes, each side playing five minutes from each end with a rest of five minutes between such five minute ends, and if neither side has then scored a majority of goals, similar periods of ten minutes shall be played in the same way until one side shall have scored a majority of goals. 32 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY, TIME-KEEPERS. 6. Two time-keepers shall be appointed, one by each captain, before the commencement of the match, whose duty it shall be to keep an accurate account of the time of each game, deducting time for stoppages in the actual play. They shall immediately report to the referee any variance in their time, and the matter shall be at once decided by him. The referee also shall appoint a time-keeper, who shall keep the time of penalized players, and shall direct them to enter the game. The time-keepers shall be undej- the control of the referee. A gong shall be kept for their use. REFEREE. 7. There shall be only one referee for a match, and in no case shall he belong to either of the competing clubs, and he may be an amateur or a professional. He is to enforce the rules; ad- judicate upon disputes or cases unprovided for by rule; appoint or remove goal umpires ; control the time-keepers ; keep the score, announcing each goal as scored ; and at the conclusion of the match declare the result. The puck shall be considered in play until the referee stops the game, which he may do at any time, and which he must do at once when any irregularity of play occurs, by sounding a whistle. His decision shall be final. SCORE. 8. A goal shall be scored when the puck shall have passed be- tween the goal posts from in front and below the tops of the posts. GOAL UMPIRES. 9. There shall be one umpire at each goal ; they shall inform the referee when the puck has been put into the goal from the front. FACE. 10. The game shall be started and renewed by the referee blowing his whistle or calling "Play" after dropping the puck in the centre of the ice between the sticks of two players, one from SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 33 each team, who are to face it. After a goal has been scored the puck shall be faced in like manner in the centre of the ice. OFF-SIDE. 11. A player shall always be on his side of the puck. A player is off-side when he is in front of the puck, or when the puck has been hit, touched or is being run with, by any of his own side behind him (i. e., between himself and the end of the rink near which his goal is placed). A player being off-side is put on-side when the puck has been hit by, or has touched the dress or person of any player of the opposite side, or when one of his own side has run in front of him, either with the puck or having played it when behind him. If a player when off-side plays the puck, or annoys or obstructs an opponent, the puck shall be faced where it was last played before the off-side play occurred. A player on the defending side shall not be off-side when he takes a pass from or plays the puck as it bounds off his goal-keeper within a space of three feet out from goal and extending to the side of the rink. KNOCKING-ON. 12. The puck may be stopped with the hand but not carried or held or knocked on by any part of the body. CHARGING, TRIPPING, ETC. 13. No player shall raise his stick above his shoulder. Charging from behind, tripping,, collaring, kicking, cross-checking, or push- ing shall not be allowed. And the referee must rule off the ice, for any time in his discretion, a player who, in the opinion of the referee, has deliberately offended against the above rule. If a player makes any unfair or rough play, or disputes any de- cision of the referee or uses any foul or abusive language, the referee may rule him off for the remainder of the game or for such time as he may deem expedient, and no substitute shall be allowed. 34 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. WHEN THE PUCK LEAVES THE ICE. 14. When the puck goes off the ice behind the goal Hne it shall be brought out by the referee to a point five yards in front of the goal line, on a line at right angles thereto, from the point at which it left the ice, and there faced. When the puck goes off the ice at the side, it shall be simi- larly faced three yards from the side. GOAL-KEEPER. 15. The goal-keeper must not during play, lie, sit or kneel upon the ice; he may stop the puck with his hands, but shall not throw or hold it. He may wear pads, but must not wear a garment such as would give him undue assistance in keeping goal. The referee must rule off the ice, for any time in his discretion, a player, who, in the opinion of the referee, has offended against this rule. CHANGE OF PLAYERS. 16. No change of players shall be made after a match has commenced. Should any player be injured during a match, break his skate, or from any other accident be compelled to leave the ice, the opposite side shall immediately drop a man to equalize the teams and the match proceed, without such players until such time as the player so compelled to leave the ice is ready to return. In event of any dispute, the matter shall at once be decided by the referee. STOPPAGES. 17. Should any match be stopped by the referee by reason of any infringement of any of the rules or because of an accident or change of players, the puck shall be faced again at the spot where it was last played before such infringement, accident or change of players shall have occurred.

London, England 'I/ The Spalding Tubular Steel Racing Skate rOR years past racing men have been looking for a skato * that could be depended upon absolutely. Ordinary- solder is not always sufficient to stand the strain at certain points when a man is turning a corner at full speed, and this is one reason why the Spalding Tubular Steel Skate^ with every joint brazed like a bicycle frame— not soldered, jumped into such great popularity immediately upon its introduction late last season. We claim that this skate embraces more good points necessary to a first>class rac- ing skate than any other style on the market to-day. We have the opinions and practical experience of some of the most prominent racing men in this country to go by, notably Mr. Sam See, who passed on most of the details of" construction, and every pair is backed up with a positive guarantee of quality. If it gives way through any fault of its construction, w e will gladly replace with a new pair or refund the money. Some Good Points about the Spalding Tubular Steel Racing Skate Absolutely guaranteed; very light weight, all tubular steel construc- tion; every jointbrazed, not soldered, making it the strongest racing skate manufactured; blades very thin, made of 1-16 in. Norway tool steel, hardened; toe and heel plates made of the best partly hard- ened steel, left full size so that they can be cut to fit any size shoe.

No. 232-How to Run the Bases The importance of base running as a scientific feature of the national game is becoming more and more recognized each year. Besides being spectacular, feats of base stealing nearly always figure in the winning of a game. Many a close contest is decided on the winning of that little strip of 90 feet which lies between cushions. When hits are few and the enemy's pitchers steady, it becomes incumbent on the opposing team to get around the bases in some manner. Effective stealing not only increases the effective- ness of the team by advancing its runners without wasting hits, but it serves to materially disconcert the enemy and frequently has caused an entire opposing club to temporarily lose its poise and throw away the game. This 1> lok gives clear and concise directions for excelling as a base runner; tells when to run and when not to do so ; how and when to slide ; team work on the bases ; in fact, every point of the game is thoroughly ex- plain i,l. In addition such clever men as Harry Bay, the fleet footed Clevelander; Frank Chance, Bill Dahlen and Hans Wagner describe their methods of action. Illustrated with pictures of leading players.
