FRENCH TO RESUME RACING
FOR AUTO GRAND PRIX

NEW YORK. Nov. 2S6.-American
automobile manufacturers greeted
with pleasure the announcement that
the great French grand prix automo-
bile race would probably be revived
This race. once the greatest fixture
in the automobile racing game. was
abandoned in 1906 because the manu-
facturers agreed TO keep out of large
cal-racing and partly because inter-
est had died out.
Now, however, the Automobile Club
de La Sarthe D'L Foust, has granted
a sanction for a 600-kilometer race
1872 miles, to be run between May
10. and July Is. The course VIII be
run over the celebrated Sarthe cir
cut. on which the grand prix race
In former years was run.

He has no yearning 10 get back into

spectacle Jim Jeffries made of him

not fear OF receiving like punishment
that deters him from the game. There
are several reasons why the ex-cham-

them. and the principal one from

Fight Resulted In Good.
The above list shows which OF the
PLAYERS broke away from the old base
ball associations and set out 10 estab'
llsh an independent league OF their
own. Their names will go down IN
history as those OF lot of brave fel-
lows who believed in standing by one
another and who lost out in the bat
tie not because their hearts were not
in the right place.
Their battle resulted in most ex-
citing years fight, in which II is esll-
mated that a million dollars and more

Brotherhood revolt failed, and the Ma.
tional League, under the banner or

But the fght had some good results
for IL led to much better under

TlOW that the football season Is
lNII at an end, fair and just crit
vi icism OF the new code Is In
order. The critics agree that
the new rules have greatly re-
duced the number OF injuries, and as
this was the object of the committee,
II must be admitted that the game
has been success.
But there are many details In
which the rules have failed to sat
isfy. One 10 their ambiguity, due
largely to the poor way in which
they are worded. Doubtless the
Committee knew what Il was try
ing to do when IL framed the code,
but in many places the intention
of the lawmakers Is not expressed
in cIean-cut English.
This ambiguity has resulted in much
wrangling among officials. Spectators
do not like such exhibitions. They
retard the game too much. Also pen
alties are too numerous. The Impair
tial spectator always resents the i'm
position OF a penalty. IL is true that
penalties are necessary, but the fewer
that are imposed in a game the better
the spectators like IL.
In many games played this year the
officials have carried the ball farther
than the halfbacks. As general
proposition. the officials have been too
prominent There are too many OF
them on the field, and they retard the
game. The committee should find
some way TO keep them from becom
ing so obtrusive.
But one OF the changes that Is most
needed Is rule or set of rules that
will add something 10 the power OF
the offense without giving the defense
any additional advantages The care
full observer must have noticed this
season that the offense has been
greatly weakened without taking any
tDing from the strength of the de-
Tense. The rules which prevent pull.
ing, pushing or crawling have much
TO do with il.
Undoubtedly these rules are wise
regulations, tending to prevent in
juries, but they have weakened the
offense materially AS result we
