An ExpIanatioa.


Delta and Paonia Basket Bali
teams.
Before beginning to practice
the Paonia girls asked Delta by
what rules they played and their
answer is on hand stating that
they play by Spaulding's 1908
rules.
The question at point is whether
the players are to be confined to
their lines or allowed to run over
the field. The Spaulding 1908
rules say in italics Those who
are playing the position of home
must stay in their own home sec
ton except during the time out
or between halves. Those play
ing the position of center must
stay in the center section and
those playing the position of
guard must stay in their respec-
tive section except during time
out or between halves"
1t was by the above official
rule and not "Paonia's way" that
the former game was played and
won by Paonia. Delta now re-
fuses to cometo Paonia to play
unless the centers are allowed to
leave their lines, contrary to rules,
and play all over the field. This
Paonia has never practiced since
receiving Delta's message to
play by Spaulding's 1908 rules
so cannot play in that way.
We quote further from the
guide book of 1908. Another
change that is also of paramount
importance in the making of the
game more beneficial for girls. is
the division of the playing field
into three equal parts and for
bidding players to leave their
given territory. This rule is a
decided restraint to over-exertion
and We cannot appreciate too
fully the danger in exercise of
physical and nervous exhaustion.
Dividing the playing field re-
moves this danger by lessening
the duration OF play and increas-
ing the time of rest-the very
remedies DR.. Hough suggests.
Since the players are confined to
their own part of the field. they
have moments of rest when the
ball is at the other end of the
field, and therefore have less ac-
tual playing time. This rule also
equalizes the importance of every
player and does away with an
other one of the evils the "Star"
playing; it also develops better
team play" Page 37-39.
The advantage of these modi-
fed rules was especially con-
Cured in at the Second Annual
Congress of the playground as
srciation of America. in New
York city. September 1908.
Many parents will not permit
their giIls to play running center
and it was the strong pressure by
them and by physicians that
brought about the above change
in rules. If the teams of the
western slope have been playing
the running rules it is now time
to play according to the latest
rules and as he game is played
in the east.
There is and always has been
strong feeling of friendship be-
tween the Delta and Paonia girls
and we would be pleased to see
them agree to play as the rules
plainly and forcibly state. If the
game is not played Saturday it is

MEAT INSPECTION GETS

Washington, July 5.-The COM

Investigated the charges Of J. F.
Harms, former inspector, that the
federal meat inspection service at
East ST. Louis, was ~"rotten and q
farce" today reported that the in
spectors there were "honest mon
and performing their duties effect
lively, and that no meat has been
passed which was unfit for human
food"
The report, which was submitted to
the secretary, today, and approved by
him, Isl an exhaustive presentation OF
the case. The committee states that
their investigation was most search
ing and that it failed to reveal any
Of dishonesty o. the part of any
employee at the East st. Louis station.
1t is declared that while there Is abb
solutely no basis for the charges made
by Harms, they will. undoubtedly, to
or less extent, reflect injuriously,
on the foreign market for American
food products.
As the result of the report, Secretary
has ordered the summary dis
missal of Meat Inspectors Harms and
Bischof, and Veterinary Inspector

Bingham's action in retaining tho
picture Of George Duffy, a Brook

In directing the remova Of the pho

accompanying orders, that he wished I'd
force radical changes in the depart
ment's affairs, one Interpretation OF
his action being that he wished to draw
forth Commissioner Bingham's res
ignation.
Proceedings in behalf Of an incon-
spicious and almost %friendless youth
brought about the removal Of Theodore
A. Bingham from the police commits,

His refusal to comply, in their entire
ty. with Mayor McClellan's order fol.
lowing an investigation of the case OF
George B. Duffy, a 19-year-old Brook
lyn boy, led to the official deposition
Of the commissioner.
The removal was followed quickly by
the announcement that the mayor had
appointed VIM. f. Baker. the first dep;
uty commissioner, acting commissioned
to succeed General Bingham.
The designations Of Deputy Police
Commissioners F. III. Bugher and Arr
