Staten Island VALUE OF FOUL THROW HELD TO BE TOO HIGH HILE the regular basket ball season is still some time off there are a few teams already playing. What District tossers per- i V'V haps are more interested in at present is whether the rules' committee which governs the sport will make the proposed change con- cerning the free foul throw. It is knewn that the powers that rule basket ball in the east are now considering it. The matter will be taken up for discussion at a meeting to be held in New York on November 11. The Intercoflegiate Basket Ball + League is practically a unit in backing the plan for reducing the value of ‘a goal from foul. During the season of 1920-1921 the matter was agitated more than ever, and this fall the compmittee is expected to take a definite stand upon it. . |50al be valued at 3 points.

But what of the strangers you meet when away on business, or the important 4 men who visit you? So in addition to exclusiveness in design and fabric, ous chief puf has been the continued betterment of the hidden value in these clothes—an exquisite care in workmanship and finish—an expression—a distinction—unobtain- able in ordinary clothes. Men of affairs ¢he country over now dress according to cosmopolitan stand- ards, and it is to such men that Hirsh, Wickwire Clothes especially appeal. There is an expression, a metropolitan touch, to the design of these clothes ., scarce equalled by the greater custom tailors, and this is equally true con- cerning the fabrics used. Yet they are ready to slip into—and thus doubly . approved by busy men. HIRSH, WICKWIRE CLOTHES Tailored by Hirsh, Wickwire Company We take such great care in order that these clothes will grow old gracefully, looking quite as ‘well when a hit aged as they do in the men’s wear shop where you first see them.

M'GRAW 0 STAND PAT ON HIS CHAMPION CLUB NEW YORK, November 1.—Man- ager -John McGraw, well satisfled with the make-up of his world base ball champlonship -team, said before leaving for a gouthern winter vaca- | tion that he would keep the organi- zation intact for 1922. “That team doesn’t need any strengthening,” he | saia, The Glants' leader said he was es- pecially well satisfied with the way the pitching staff had found itself fn the latter part of the season, and expocted “greater strength next sea- gon through the work of Pat Shea and Bill Ryan, youthful members of the hurling staff. McGraw saild that if Heinie Groh were thrown on the mArket again the Giants would make a good bid for him, although Heinie was no longer of vital concern to the New A8 | York club. UMPS IN WORLD SERIES EACH RECENVED §2,109 NEW YORK, November 1.—Charles Moran, “Uncle Charlie” to Centre Col- \lh:n studénts, declined the long green and honor of being a world series umplre; declined because it would have Interfered with his work as a foot ball-coach at Centre. John Heyd- ler, National League president, would have named him for the job this fall if he hadn't made known that he wantcd to get out to Centre as geon as possible and take hold of the joot ball situation there. % The chances are Centre would have excused Moran for ten days more, but that wasn't his fdea of his duty to the colloge. The decision cost kim $2,109.63, not starvation wages for ten days’ work with the long hours of 2 to 4 p.m. Each of the world_s°ries umplres—Rigler, Quig- ley, Moriarity and Chili—received that amount, twice as much as ever ed Lefore.

The jury | had heard the testimony of numerous ministers and leaders of the Interna- tional Reform Burean, and had been instructed to determine whether the Dempsey-Carpentier affair was a vio- lation of the state law. CHANEY WHIPS JACKS. NEW YORK, November 1.—Andy Chaney, Baltimore, recelved the judge's decision last night after a twelve-round bout with Freddle Jacks, claimant of the Englist featherweight title. EW YORK, November 1.—Unless they dig up some new light- weights pretty soon, Benny Leonard’s next opponent will be weighed and found wanting. Most of them can make the lightweight limit in weight and they want the title, but they could not make the BY FAIR PLAY. N Old Age.
