Mr.. Sutherland said that Mr. Mason
had written him Virtually refusing

form" and asking that changes be
made because it seemed to reflect on
the federal courts as a whole. He
further quoted Mr.. Mason as saying
thar he gloried in the fact that a man
of Judge Lands caliber and standing
had been prevailed upon to take
charge of Americas sport"
The petition demonstrates that this

That body is bound to grapple i'm
mediately with this infraction of the
law or publicly admit that it cannot
enforce its laws and that it has not
respect for the purity and dignity of
the federal bench"

DIFFER AS TO STADIUM
Asylum Official Denies Sale of Site
to Yankees-Contract Signed,
Says Engineer.

NEW YORK, January 31.-Flat con-
tradiction has developed as to the
Facts regarding the Yankees proposed
new stadium in this city. On the one
hahd +. +. Evans, vice president of
me Osborn Engineering Company of
tIeVeland. declared that the contract
mad been finally signed, and many of
the plans We're ready for the erection
OF the stadium. The site is now occu-
pea by the Hebrew Orphan Asylum
at l56th street, near Broadway.
on the other hand, Judge Joseph E.
NeWburSer. president of the Hebrew
orphan Asylum, denied that the prop
erty had been sold. Judge Newburger
satd: Permit me to inform you that
there is no option outstanding for the
sale of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum,
nor are there any negotiations pend
ing"
Judge Newburger supplemented this
declaration verbally by saying: Nor
mas any sale been consummated"
Col: Jacob Rupert. part owner of
the Yankees, was non-committal.

5. The playing of an extra period
when a game results in a tie. (Sug-
gestion by G.. n. Bankart, the well
known referee. The game would seem
to be too exhausting to admit of thls)
6. The elimination of any particlpa-

Seven Minutes Intermission.
7. Reduce the intermission between
halves to seven minutes. allowing
only trainers to attend the men in the
presence of an official. (This would
tend to give the men i breathing
spell and yet prevent a reaction IN
mental and physical condition to &C
cur.)
s. No kickoff at the beginning of
the second half. Ball to be put in
play where it lay when first half
ended CA sane suggestion)
9. In the event of an intercepted
forward pass, or a picked-up tumble
the ball changing sides on the play
the runner may carry the ball only
to the fumbling sides 1o-yard
mark. where first down shall be called
and the touchdown to be made If
possible. This rule shall be effective
save when the ball shall have been
put in play inside the 20-yard line
of the team which fumbes. CA mighty
able suggestion which emanated from
Al Mccall the gridiron thinker of Ste
venS Tech.)
10. In order that spectators shall
distinguish between a safety and a
touchback the ball in event of a
safety shall be put in play from the
40 instead of the 20 yard line. (Sug-
gestion of DR.. w. A. Lambeth of the
University of Nirginia-)
This list seems to include the con-
structive suggestions for changes in
the playing code that the writer has
heard.
