In held ball pla the position of the H players depends upon what part of the floor the ball is tossed up at. If near the basket you are defending the play is defensive in character. Then it is necessary to cover opponents closel. Should your jumper be good an offense can be started. When the jump occurs near the center of the floor conditions are the same for both teams. More than likely both teams will try an offense play here. \When the ball is thrown up near the goal your opponents are de- jending a play should be used that will give you an opportunity to score. In such plays players should re- member that when they are stand- ing still waiting for the ball to be tapped to them they are easily and surely covered. Keep moving around, cut in back of your team- finates and opponents. Then when the ball is tapped you will be free to get it. Q. Our floor is 65 by 35 feet. Is it Jarge enough for a regulation court? A. Yen; 65 by 35 feet is the minimum # size regulation court for amateur Zamen; 60 by 40 for professional game. Q. When time out is called may a coach walk out on the floor? A. No person may go on the floor At any time except by permission of the referee or umplire. Q. If a player fouls an.opponent under the basket has the referee the right to put this player out of the zame? 2 A. Yea.

Wade is regarded ns the leading contender for a job in the outfield, along with Goslin and Rice. This youngster of twenty-three, who wan obtained from Minneapolis for $20,000 nnd Pitcher Tom Phillips, is highly regarded in the American Asnociation, where he has estab- lished himself ax a .300 hitter and impressed all critics with his speed and throwing abllity. to_bring victory to his side.

Ever, £ S, it remalins to b eel. whether the court of final resort wil resort to a final decision. x: Some of the mnjor lea have indicated that they oo boson ning to wonder whether they raac anything by adopting the resolutio permitting “all major league teanc to hold &ll players up to forty until June 15. ‘The teams which are anxious are the weaker organizi- tions. Both New York clubs, bot! Chicago and " Pittsburgh are e blanketed with funds, but some of the other toams when they snuzgl. Into the financial bed cloths find their teet sticking out in the cold. It is the old story of the clubs with the long bank rolls having the better of the argument. The lads with the small stack of chips are less able to make big bets to strengthen their playing forces. Bets 1s the proper term, for in reality the majors are gambling in the player market. With all the traffic tied up for sixty days, the majors cannot well negotiate with minor league clubs to stop a gap here or there as one may develop, because the minors will not have much to offer that is desirable if the bigger majors have decided to hang on to their full quota of players allowed under the resol tion. More than 106 players can be hel by the big major league clubs they decide to dawdle along and p salaries for an extra month Tak- 100 players out of the available sup- ply and there is bound to be a shortage all around in the minors who are not going to do business with_any one unless they can first fill_their own gaps. Tnwardly gome of the minors gloating. hey would not express any keen sorrow if the weaker majors all tied the well known mill- stone under their chins and jumped in the nearest lake. The lesser major league clubs mean nothing much in their voung lives. It would be sad however, for the majors to find they had stepped on their own feet i an effort to get even with McCarthy of the Pacific Coast League and others of the fighting Irish because the latter would not accept the draft Stranger things have happened.
