BASKET BALL PLAY.
A special meeting of the National
Basket ball League was held at the
Office of President E. H. Crowhurst
in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon
The meeting was called to settle
several disputes that arose in the
opening games.
The recent ruling of the referees
in calling out time on every offonse
caused a lot Of discussion. The ref
erees were instructed not to call out
time on every olfense, but to hurry
the game along and not permit tho
players to cause delay. They were
also instructed that when an otfense
is called the referee shall pick up
the ball and carry it TO the free
throw mark, and the player who is
to try for the free throw must be
there simultaneously with the ref
cree.
Another rule which had been &C.
cldenty lett out Of the rule books
was in regard to climbing the cage.
The president instructed the refe.r
rees to call an otfense on a playe
every time he climbs the cage,
whether he has the ball or not.
The league rules strictly say that
no league player shall play or act as
substitute upon any other team
under the penalty of one months
suspension, but an exception was
made in the case OF Holt, who plays
forward on the Wilmington team,
and also the West End team of the
same town, No exception will be
made with any other player.
AS the Trenton team has one
player over the limit allowed by tho :
eagnc they were forced to get rid Of u
me of there men. Harrison was the
man mentioned to 60. Immediately
heir was some lively bidding for his
services. Wilmington needed him
most. and secured his services.
