If the umpire sees a batsman strike at a ball not within the reach he indicated and in such a manner as to show that the strike was made not to hit the ball, but to balk the catcher, he must decided him out at once, provided that the strike is not made for the purpose of willfully striking out for in such case he must disregard the strike altogether and not call it.
