A.A.U. Four-Wall Hardball Rules · American four-wall hardball (1930s-40s)

Rule 24

Historical rulebook: not the current rules. The current rules are here (USHA Four-Wall Rulebook, as of 26 January 2025).

It is the duty of the referee to decide all hinders and covered balls without being appealed to by the players, as it is often distasteful to a player to make claims especially in close cases, and failure to claim a hinder or covered ball does not relieve the referee from the duty of rendering a decision.
