Rule 58 prohibits open betting on all ball grounds of clubs governed by the rules of the _National Agreement_. The penalty for a violation of this rule is the forfeiture of the game which is being played when the rule is violated; and the Umpire must enforce this rule or be amenable to a prompt removal from his position. NO UMPIRE TO BE INSULTED. Rule 52 states that "the umpire is master of the field from the commencement to the termination of the game; and he is entitled to the respect of the spectators, and _any person offering any insult or indignity to him must be promptly ejected from the grounds_," under the penalty of a forfeiture of the game.
