FREE SOCCER KICKS
DIVIDED IN 2 CLASSES
Goals May Not Be Scored Direct From Lou Breaches
But It's Different for Breaches of Play.

BY DOUGLAS STEWART

no matter how keen he Is on playing
the game, has any particular desire to
be roughed up to the extent that he
is in imminent danger Of being seri-
Ously injured.
The provisions Of law II are precisely
the provisions governing the award OF q
penalty kick, except that It provides for
the punishment Of the same nine offenses
when committed anywhere on the field
outside of the penalty area. In short
this law provides for what might be
difference is that 1t enables the defend
ers to place themselves in better posi- :
tion to defend their goal so long as they
are not within ten yards of the ball
when it is being kicked. As the shot
in this case is usually long one, in case
an attempt is made for q goal the ordi :
nary run of play is for the backs to
give the goalkeeper a good opportunity
to save, with one of the fullbsaks lying
well up to put any opponent offside who
might try to run in and continue the
conntered by definite understanding
among the opponents as to how the kich
will be taken.
Angular Plays
Among good players several angular
plays are in vogue, with the purpose oi
tricking the defendants, and with gooc
players they are usually successful
The average player, however, needs q
good deal of practice to shoot a goa
from a free kick given at a point from
25 to 80 or 40 yards out in the field.
In the taking of free kicks many
players make a great deal of fuss abou
going back the full 10 yards. This /.
unwise. because the referee has tn,
right to order the offender off the felt
after he has once cautioned him, ant
the short distance gained is not sufh
sient compensation for being put out
of play. As matter of fact, referees
are particularly requested to treat a.
serious misconduct attempts to delay
the taking of free kick by encroach
ment.
Free kicks must be taken from tn,
| proper place-that is. where they oc'
curred-and must not be taken unit
the whistle blows. The kicks should
however. be taken without delay, anC
the kick cannot be taken if the ball Il

THERE Is one line you catch often,
either from fan or baseball writer
when the subject arises, viz, The
greatest shortstop In the game"
Baseball is replete with greatest
shortstops," for the simple reason that
no other position carries as many stars.

arguments than he could handle in a
year. o..
We have heard . dozen good Judges
name Roger Peckinpaugh, Of New
York, as the king Of the fielding short
stops.
And we have heard q dozen or more
others, arise and testify that Everett,
Scott or Walter Maranville or Dave
Bancfoft was easily on par with the
Yankee star.
There IL very little to choose from
among Peck, Scott. Maranville and
Bancroft last season led the National

But the Giant infelder was not
thrown into direct competition against

The Cub worker was the only short

But Hollocher only toiled in eight,
games, barely more than half the sched

Bancroft was q great combination
He led his league in fielding and at bal
