They were man and wife, strangers

mouth not less than ten nor more than
twelve feet in an upright line from the
floor.
The players or positions as they line up:
Center; right and left backs; right and
left forwards; enemy and home goal keep
eTs: and when nine men are played right
and left center are added. The positions
on the field are as shown in the diagram.
The opposing sides play man holding
similar position opposite the other.
Play is begun by the referee throwing
or tossing the ball up to the ceiling from
the center of the field, standing between
the two center men, who must stand at
least four feet apart. In this city the rule
is to stand on the edge OF circle eight
feet in diameter. AS the ball comes down
1t is the duty Of the center men to jump
for it and pass or drive 1t toward their
| forwards, and they to the goal man, or,
| if possible, directly to the basket. II 1T
reaches the basket and stays therein IL Is
counted goal made.
The duty of the guards or backs is to
cover his opponent and watch the ball.
| By covering his man" is meant that he
| does all he can to prevent his maxim g goal,
! and this he does by pulling or knocking the
| ball out OF his opponents hands nr by block

| and the goa. rs the former il thrown.

| ball will probably be. IL he wisicsthe baltic

| play behind the forward.then when itisp put
| in play quick rush Will nine times out of
| ten secure it to his side. There is great
/ knack in throwing the ball. There is the
..side throw" from the palm of cHe hand;
| or the 'oyerhand" throw, with both hands
| from over the head, or the underhand
| To throw from back of the shoulder is
| popular, and IS made with the ball in one
hand as if about to put the shot," and
then giving quick upward and forward
| motion, allowing 1t to twist off the fin
gers. 1t may thus be thrown the length
OF the field and without much danger of be-
ing blocked.
VALUE OF TEAM WORK.
Much depends upon team work, and
good team work makes scientific basket
ball. Innumerable combinations may be
made by team, geometrical figures may
be planned and easily carried out The
"triangle' is popular and pretty play
and is worked by the center passing
ball to a guard and by him to forward
and from thence 1t is easy to pass to the
goal man. 1t has been nfoundimpracticable
to divide off the floor into divisions fol
backs, centers and backs.
Free throws are the penalty for foulinf
and are made in this city by standing
twenty feet from point on the flool
directly beneath the center OF the goa
measuring toward the opposite goal.
When making the throw no player shal
stand nearer than six feet to the throwel
nor in lane six feet wide from th
| thrower to the goal, nor shall anyon.

How Dink Bedloe Essays to Treat
Truant Companions.
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
Dink Bedloe was the biggest boy in the
school and the worst. He was continually
fighting and eternally getting licked by the
teacher; yet he had an unconquerabIe spirit.
One hot summer day Dink made aSort of
improvised ''Spartacus to the gladiators''
speech to the boys, in which he urged u
plan of running away and going to town.
He said he would stand treat for all the
boys who would walk to town with him.
The town was three and one-half miles
away, and the road there lay through white
dust about six inches deep.
Such was Dink'S spell Of cusSedness ana
so persuasive We're his promises OF a treat
that four OF the boys cut loose ana Went
with him. They tramped sturdily through
clouds of dust and arrived in town as white
as millers. Dink headed straight Tor the
principal dry goods store of the town and
as the tow n was the county seat anda good
sized manufacturing place 1t was quite
pretentious establishment. 1t was filled
with customers, most OF them ladies, when
Dink and his party hove up.
Dink faltered not nor failed not With a
bright 2-ceut piece in his dusty right paw
he walked boldly up to the proprietor of
the dry goods emporium and bawied out in
a voice that was heard the length and
breadth Of the store: ''Hev ye got any

PROPER RIDING POSITION.
Views of a Medical Man on This
Important Matter.

DR.. A. II. Stubbs discusses the proper
position while riding at some length III
a recent issue of the League Bulletin.
Among other things he has this to say:
AFTER practical experience Of several
years. during which, have tried all manner
OF Shapes and positions, have for some
time used the slightly-inGlined dorward)
position, and find that it is by far the most
satisfactory. AS to the extremes, think
can sum up few objections, ard venture
to say that most of the readers, after n
few minutes consideration, will agree with
me that when riding perfectly upright, We
have the following:
"First-One cannot utilize the COM
bination of muscular power and weight CT

'second-Itis painful to maintain for any
length of time.
"Third-While worEingitis not natural

To this class objections innumerable could
be made, but we will only give few.
