first arch, he is at liberty to croquet any ball which
has also gone through the arch.

25. A player can not croquet a ball which he
has not roqueted.

26. A booby can not croquet another ball, nor
be croqueted.

27. A player is forced to move the croqueted
ball at least six inches, and can not croquet the
same ball a second time until he has passed through
an arch.

28. If a player ricochet, and wishes to croquet,
he must do so in the order in which they were
roqueted, but the striker has only one additional
stroke when he has croqueted the lot.

29. If a player hit another ball that is a rover,
and by the blow drives it against the winning stake,
he is allowed another turn but can not croquet the
ball, as it is dead the moment it touches the stake.

30. If in “tight” croqueting, the ball slip from
the foot and go through an arch, or strike the stake,
the stroke does not count.

Se If, in an attempt to croquet a ball, the
player’s ball flinches, the ball on which the croquet
was to be executed is free, and can be struck in its
turn by its owner.

32. In the act of croqueting, when the player
makes a splitting or following stroke, the foot may
be held lightly on his own ball, but it is not obliga-
tory to put the foot on at all.

33. A player, after striking a ball, is not neces-
sarily compelled to croquet it, but is allowed to play
in any direction he pleases. He must, however, play
from the place where his ball is, and not, since he
abnegates the privilege of it, as after a croquet
from a position touching the ball he has struck.
