Goal posts, peanalty for distruction

so, after finding that wonderfully named statute, i was nosing through them and i found this:

Chapter 266: Section 104A. Goal posts; penalty for destruction

Section 104A. Whoever wilfully and without right destroys, injures or removes a goal post on a football field shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars.

a specific law. just for football goal posts. It only includes a fine while another statute covering the broader subject of property destruction includes jail time. I guess they don't want MIT and Harvard students going to jail for pranking one another...

Chapter 266: Section 106. Ice ponds; injury

Section 106. Whoever wilfully, intentionally and without right or license, cuts, injures, mars or otherwise damages or destroys ice upon waters from which ice is or may be taken as an article of merchandise, whereby the taking thereof is hindered or the value thereof diminished for that purpose, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars.

and another

Chapter 266: Section 113. Timber, wood and shrubs; wilful cutting and destruction on land of another

Section 113. Whoever wilfully cuts down or destroys timber or wood standing or growing on the land of another, or carries away any kind of timber or wood cut down or lying on such land, or digs up or carries away stone, ore, gravel, clay, sand, turf or mould from such land, or roots, nuts, berries, grapes or fruit of any kind or any plant there being, or cuts down or carries away sedge, grass, hay or any kind of corn, standing, growing or being on such land, or cuts or takes therefrom any ferns, flowers or shrubs, or carries away from a wharf or landing place any goods in which he has no interest or property, without the license of the owner thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than six months or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars; and if the offence is committed on Sunday, or in disguise, or secretly in the night time, the imprisonment shall not be for less than five days nor the fine less than five dollars.
