The football rules are now open for
debate until next October and it far
probable that those wishing to get a
little notoriety will have much to say
regarding the wisdom of this play or
that. It's all the same, however, halt
the time. nOhody but they themselves
know what they are talking about.

athletic sports can accomplish. Did
you read the. record of the official at-
tendance at baseball leagues in these

features of the great American game
is its squareness and f0 rthat reason
it has proven a wonderfully successful
‘aport. If some of our other sports,
boxing for instance, were universaly
operated along the same lilies, the
sport would profit materially and incl;
dentally the managers would be better

Not only bouts, but baseball games
is the Norwalk City 'Athletic Club to
manage. Their high class entertain-
ments in the sporting line have won
for them fame and as an organization
and now with the surety that they will
be well patronized they have decided
to .take hold of a Norwnlk baseball
team. They will attempt to secure
Amusement Park to hold their games
to be placed'on Saturday afternoons.
' People in The Norwalks have always
shunted for a baseball team to be com-
posed of local players. Last year
there was a good team. but the support
of those who cried for the team was
packing. Consequently the same man-
agement is scary about branching out
in another venture 0f the sort.
However, we are‘plensed to learn
that an attempt will be made torevive
