favorable comment that so much has
been done, and so well done.
PUBLIC SHOWS APPRECIATION.
In the liberal use of the parks the
people have shown their appreciation
OF these municipal breathing places.
Music has been provided for several
years past for the people visiting Long
View park by Charles Rosenfield, as a
tribute to his mother, Mrs. Julia Ro-
senfeld, who loved these beauty spots,
so literally provided for the men, wo-
men and children VINO desire and need
the health and restfulness that such
places afford. In view of the necessity
fer the full completion of all these re-
sorts, It is 10 be hoped that there will
always exist a public spirit that will
insure the necessary funds to do what
has TO be done, and what must be con
tinued in the years to come.

NEW PROVISIONS MADE IN
RULES FOR FOOTBALL SEASON

The football rules for the season
= OF 1912 include two very important
Il. changes. One of these, relating to
the field itself. is extremely radical
In that for the first time since the In
p PRODUCTION of the game into this
country there is an alteration in the
dimensions of the playing surface,
or gridiron, as 1t has been called.
Since the introduction in 1876, the
field has been $50 feet In length, 100
feet in width, but for the season of
1912 the entire field is to be $50 feet
in length, but the playing surface;
that is the field, which Is usually
known as the field Of play, will be
only 800 feet in length. At each
end is a 30-foot zone behind the goal
posts and behind the goal line where
the forward pass is legal. The other
most important change Is allowing 4
downs in which to gain the neces-
sary 10 yards instead of 8, as for
merly.
The rest of the alterations are of
less Importance. The number of
privileged coaches who may walk
up and down the side lines, reduced
to l. The intermissions between the
FIRST and second, and third and fourth
periods have also been again short
ened, the time elapsing being now
only 1 minute. The forward pass,
which was restricted to 20 yards.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-06

may now be thrown any distance.
The on-side kick has been cut out;
that is, the men of the kicker's side
VINO are cff-side are not put on-side
by the ball touching the ground. The
field judge has been dispensed with
and the game left in the hands OF 3
instead of 4 officials.
A rule has been passed that IL
a kicked ball strikes the ground be-
fore going owe the goal it may not
score a goal. The limit of the kick
out instead of being the 15-yard line
as formerly Is now the 20-yard line.
The 20-yard neutral zone, the bane
of officials and players has been abol-
ished.
Players may not interfere with
each other on a forward pass, how
ever, but may in case OF a kick.
Certain other provisions have been
necessitated by these changes, nota-
bly,: the kickoff Is now made. instead
of from the middle of the field, on
the kicker's 40-yard line; that Is so
yards from the goal toward which
they are about to kick.
The rules have been rendered more
clear and a great deal of time and
r was spent by the subcommittee
on their revision and rewordtng. The
notes which formerly followed the
rules themselves and the whole code
rules themselves and thew hole code
has been stmplifed as far as possible.

MANAGER APPLICABLE
IS INCENSED BECAUSE
OF RIDICULOUS RUMOR
Writes Letter to Sporting Editor
Maxine Clear FrankIins Position
in County Championship Series.
'WOULDBE" SCENSURED

Morris Miller, who through a case OF
soreness" and perhaps ignorance
of facts, seems to be prejudiced
against the Franklins. However, my
opinion of his character does not al
low me to give his views any more
consideration than the mention of
them.
Coming down to the facts about
the county race, it is not the Frank
lin team that was, but it is the
Franklin team that is now, and has
been for the last few weeks, that is
in the race for honors. every
player of our team is eligible for
county honors, being a local resi-
dent, and SO our claims for a chance
at South River are justified, | think.
If we are defeated by South River,
then we will be forced to drop out
of the race. If the Athletics want to
give us another game as promised,
then a defeat against us will also
eliminate US. However, as it stands
now, we are in the some position as
the South River A. C. Is today. We
were beaten once by the Athletics
and they were beaten once by the
South Amboy crew.
"The fact that the South River
team has Ortleib and a few out of
town players impresses some with
the opinion that no matter under
what circumstances they lose, they
are believed stronger than another
team which loses under the same
conditions. We stand ready to meet
the South River A. c., or the Ath-
l%etics, or both of them, and any fair
minded and unbiased sport will
agree with me in my claim that we
are practically in as good a position
to claim county championship as
South River.
yours truly,
FRANK APPELLATE,
Manager of the Franklin Baseball
Club."
