ABOUT PUSH BALL.
How This Very Interesting Game Il
Played.

How This Very Interesting Game Il
Played.
Push ball is played on a gridirOn field
or floor 1e0 yards long by fifty wide,
with goal posts at either end twenty
feet apart and connected by a cross
bar seven feet from the ground. The
mammoth ball, almost glObular in
shape, should measure six feet in d.
ameter and weigh between forty-eight
and fifty pounds. 1t is usually inflated
with compressed air.
The ball IS placed in the middle Of
the Geld, and the teams line up as fol.
lows; Five forwards on the forty yard
line, two left and two right wings on
the twenty yard line and two goal
keepers on the goal line, eleven men
each. At the sound Of the referees
whistle both sides plunge at full speed
upon the ball, and then the fun begins
n the ball is caught fairly between
the tw[ human battering rams there is
a rebound from its elastic sides that
sends the players sprawling like ten
pins.
1t does not take long, however, for
the entire twenty-five men to get
around the sphere, put their shoulders
to the wheel, so to speak, and push for
every ounce of energy in them. The
heavier, stronger team will, Of course,
have the advantage, but some trick
plays have been invented which lend
variety to the game and redeem It
from being a featureless contest Of
mere Drawn and muscle. - National

WILL NOT VISIT
ST. ANDREWS BAY
ITINERARY OF RIVERS AND HAIR.
BORIS COMMITTEE HAS AL
READY BEEN TOO MUCH
EXTENDED,
EXTENDED.

This weeks issue of the ST. An
drews Buoy contained the following
pleasant letter to the Buoy from
Congressman w. B. Lamar explains
that the delegation of the Rivers and
HarbOrs Committee which was tC
visit and inspect southern waterways
cannot inclU1e st. Andrews Bay in
its itinerary. In answer to a request
from Mr.. Lamar for them to do so, he
received the following letter from
Hon. w. G. Adamson, member of the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, who accompanies the ex,
petition: '#.
House of Representatives U. S. A,
Mar. 2, 1906.
Hon. w. B. Lamar. House of Repre-.
sentatives, City.
Ny Dear Sir-I have your favor of
yesterday extending an invitation TO
the Congressman going south to Wis
1t st. Andrews and inspect the bay.
The party appreciates your invitation
very much and would be glad to ac-
cept it, but it is impossible, for the
reason that the itinerary has already
been so much extended that it can
not be farther increased. In fact they
will have to slight points in your dis
trict. now, in order to hurry on to
other engagements.
Your friend,
w c. ADAMSON.
The Buoy would be glad to publish
Mr.. Lamar's letter in it's entirety. but
lack of both time and space make it
impossible to do so at this time. He,
however. repeats his promise to keep
a watchful eye over the pressing
needs of st. Andrews Bay and to do
all in his power to get a good apro-
priation for the deepening of the Pass
engrafted into the next River and
HarbOr bill and he feels confident he
can do so. He states truly that his
experience in Congress makes him
familiar with the necessary course %
accomplish this-a knowledge which
a new member would have TO acquire
before he could possibly accomplish
results. He says it is doubtful if he
can visit us during his canvass before
the coming primaries but he will ap-
preciate a favorable expression from
the voters in that contest II there
should be opposing candidates.
