An IncIosed AthIetic EieId.

Something which this city las og beer in heed Of Is about 20 Ee-
an actually it being the result of action taken by the Rartan Copper

The lack Of such a place In this city In which various outdoor sports could
be held and competitive athletic contests held has been responsible for the
absence of large field and track meets here in the past
Up until about six years the property o n tbs north e of Lewis
street extending iron Brighton wen o Madison avenue. then known as the
Land Company tract was used by the high school athletic organizations
desiring to conduct field meets n 220 yard cinder track was laid ut OF tn

ground upon which 1t "a located a sold and buildings we're erected.
Since ne demise of tmsa athletic fed Perth Amboy has been without
a place for her high school an athletic organization to hold track and field
meets. As a result the interest in these outdoor sports has dropped almost
to zero. Now, however, the Copper Works a company which has always
taken the lead In developing athletics among its employees and boosting the
various outdoor sports in this city, has taken a step which Will mean the
revival of certain lines Of sports With the large Copper Works field nclosed

done in such a manner that Perth Amboy can boast OF having a n outdoor
athletic field which Will hold it's W with any in this section. 1t is understood

Reloads For 80 Cal. Loads.
BY Capt. w. III. Richard
(Tba Hest Riaa Shot In Amaric

The question has been asked me
several times an to what effect the
l~recent activities in attempts to work
out a reduced Dad for the u. s.. Ser
game throughout the country.
The situation concerning this ques-
ttion Is as follows:
!. The firing regulates during. =
1 The firing regulations during the
war n at present call for prelimi-
nary gallery practice with either 20
| cal. or reduced 80 cal. loads. AS
taught at the various firing schools
! during the war. the .22 cal. Springfield
rifle was used exclusively in the field.
It was found that this practice usually
vas worse than q joke. owing to the
inaccuracy of the averaged rifle using
the supplemental chamber for the ~
| cartridge.
2. One of the powder companies
advocated the gallery reload for the
80 cal. as a of replacing the
| 20 cal, for preliminary practice by
the soldier. Col. Townsend Whelen
| and one or two ether officers, took
| up the work of pfcducing such a load
for the service rifle. To this end tests
were held at the Infantry School of
Arms al Camp Benning. Ga. the first
of which was quite satisfactory. Later
another lot of the same load was re-
! ceived and tested and which the
writer was Informed by n or h
officers making the test. was not salts
factory.
8. The writer talked over the CUES
I ton with it's strongest advocate
| Col, Whelen-and learned that the
purpose was not to supplant the ~
| cal. generally and its interest was sim
ply for the training Of the soldier.
1 The argument Is that 1t gives the SOL
| der the same rifle which he is expect
ed to use in the field. However, past
experience with this load is that after
the soldiers rifle has been used to
| any extent-with h reduced charge
and lead bullet, his rife is not worth
much for the full service load. The
Colonel admits that this may be true
land the main drawback to the whole
proposition.
4. Several years ago there was a
reduced load craze In parts OF the
| country In the days of the Krag rifle.
lone or two organizations continued
to load 80 long as they were equip
ped with the Krag. but the practice
/ never became general, as It was not
satisfactory.
s. The present efforts to develop
small bore shooting Is not confined
Ito the military but rather to the cf-
william shooter, and to whom reduced
load shooting Is an tm~possibility, both
for cost and inability TO secure sup
| ply. The writer at this time. cannot
| see where It will effect the ~ caliber
| game in the least. Col. Whelen agrees
| with me in this
