Though apparently a simple mat-again until she met Flight-Lieuten-Morning Noon and Night" ter, it is surprising how often one nds players erring in taking a place kick. There are several points to be observed, each important in its own particular way. Law 2 states that "no player on either on board the steamship for Ameri-side shall pass the centre of the ca.

Correct Positions,

Mr. Putnam showed the reporter several threatening letters which followed the postcard, the last of which arrived on Thure day. One was written in Italian. The others were in English, one being typed.

Scotland Yard Informed.

A letter signed The Fascists of Paris" said: "Fascism will not tolerate such an offence. We and our New York correspondents will know what to do, All the wretched police in New York will not be ablo to prevent your establishment being blown into the air with two bombs. We have already warned the Fas- cists of New York. For your own

safety and security, you must not publish Nitti's book,"

This means that the eleven play- ers of each side must be in their respective balf of the field, and it is the duty of the official in charge to see that this is always carried out. Of course, players themselves can greatly facilitate matters by quickly getting into correct pos- tions, and no game should be begun or resumed until all is in order.

The law continues, "The game shall be commenced by a place kick from the centre of the field in the direction of the opponents goal line." Though an easy matter, it sometimes happens that the kicker fails to do so, more by accident than intention, and in such a case the ball must be replaced on the spot and the kick-off taken again

Mr. Putnam is not inclined to regard the threats seriously, but he said that he informed Scotland Yard of them on the advice of n dietinguished British politician with whom he lunched yesterday. "The politician took me to the Yard, and I am very grateful for their courtesy."!

"I have been held up to can- tempt, but I have never been phy sically threatened before." he said, adding, with a cheery laugh, it gives me a new experience, which is very desirable. Publishers need to keep abreast of the times.

A Practical Jokat

..

It is important to bear in mind that before the ball can be "in play it is essential that it must have travelled the distance of its circumference at least, namely, about twenty-seven inches. Failure to observe this important point would make it necessary for the kick-off to be taken again. After the ball has been properly kicked off, the second and other players may play it in any direction.

It is interesting to note that in I am sailing to-day for New the instructions to referees laid York, and while I am inclined to down in the Referee's Chart it think the letters may have been states: "That a free kick must not written as a practical joke I think be awarded for any breach of this I shall ipform the steamship law."
