race record of 2:03A and 2:6A held

Tale of an Old Woman.

There was an old woman who lived
In a shoe. She had so many children
that she wasn't recognized in the
best society.
Her husband, who was an honest
man, had died without leaving her a
cent, there being nos other course
open to him in the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
Everything that the children might
have worn had there been any money
was taxed so by high tariff that it
couldn't have been bought, anyway.
In the circumstances there was, of
course, nothing else for the old WON
an to do. She spanked them regular
ly, and realizing that she had made a
terrible mistake in bringing them into
the world without the slightest ex-
cuse, she put them to bed.

Gated by the captains signal. In this
case the center slaps the sphere to
his left side, where the left forward

for goal.
Then the truly scientific part of the
combination takes place. The center

the right side of the basket, while the
left forward, having handled the ball

WON WITH A JUMP SHOT
Calvin Demarest, the New Billiard
Champion, Amazed the Experts
with His Audacity.

The balls were lying close to the

There was no chance for masse. A

The youthful face of Calvin Dema-
rest suddenly broke into boyish
smile, and his friends knew that he
had decided on some daring scheme
He deliberately chalked his cut and
learned over the table as If to try a
draw shot. The experts sat back as

Still smiling, the youth drove his
cue into the bottom Of the white ball
with a downward twist. The ivory
leaped three inches from the table,
fell on top of the red ball and rolled
accurately until it clicked against the
other white ball. The shot had

A Sad Plight.

One evening in the household of a
Brooklyn family all were following,
with close interest, the reading by
one of the girls of romantic sea
tale.
"The wife of the captain was the
only one to escape, she being cast by
the waves upon the beach of an unin-
habited island"
At this juncture the Oldest brother,
frequently called on to assist in GER

moor woman do? How did she ever
oct her dress buttoned in the back?"

where to center your efforts, how to
adjust your players to the best adj
vantage during the progress of plays
and where to direct your attack in
this game where strategy and science
are outdoing themselves.
To the spectator, who watches basket
ball play for the privilege of indulging
in ecstasies over the wild movements
of ever-moving legs, arms and indoor
trained muscles, the science of the
game constitutes itself in scoring abil-
ity-accuracy in lodging the leather
sphere within the net.
We will lendeavor to demonstrate
that the science of this game lies in
the ability of the guards, forwards and
center to work up to q highly eff
Gent point in the movements which
precede the efforts at goals.
These articles on Basket Ball STRAIT
egy," therefore, will Ceal with the
moves of the players about the floor,
tire passing of the ball and the most
effective manner of puzzling oppo-
tnonts by a series of plays. To start
let us take the play which has
4 become known as left forward to
right forward in left forwards posi-
ton" OF course your team must
have a set of signals, which are easily
evolved. They may be number signals,
shouted to the players by the captain
OF the team or they may be silent
signals" In the case of number sig
nails The same course is pursued as
that used in football For instance,
take the accompanying diagram. Sup
pose that the series of numbers which
tells the direction of the play is the
J second uttered by your captain. Your
signal for the play left forward to
right forward in left forwards posi-
ton would be 26, 312, IS. The CEN
ter's number being 3, the ball leaves
him to go to the left forward, whose
numeral is 1, while the last player to
receive the ball before the shot at the
goal is attempted is the right forward,
or No. 2.
Or you may use q movement of the
hand or foot to indicate certain play.
Of course the man who gives the ST.
lent signal must give it unconcernedly
so that it may not be noted by OPP
ponents and made use of to advantage
thereafter.
1t is the placing of players imme-
diately after the completion Of the
play which proves especially effective.

guards are idle if the center of the

Rv JAMES NAIsMITH.

Since 1 was accorded the honor OF
evolving the game of basket ball some
20 years ago, many new elements,
which then were remotest in my mind,
have grown into the winter pastime
and given a new field for effort. If
my Massachusetts friends had told
me then that a quarter of century
later athletes would be planning eff
fective manners of attack and defense
and conceiving schemes of play to
bewilder and hoodwink opponents, 1
would have doubted, but such events
have come to pass. Year by year the
clamor for plays of new variety is
becoming stronger, and the more in
tricate the better liked by coaches.
So l have set about to tell you
coaches, fans and players alike
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1910-01-19

ture that in this, or any other play for
that matter, the plan is for every play
er to lose" his opponent, and to do
SO, he must accomplish his part of the
combination from a point other than
that in which he places himself at the
moment the referee losses the sphere
up for the centers at the start of the
play.
Should the opposing center leap into
the air higher than your center, thus
batting the ball toward the opponents
goal, 1t remains for your guards to
secure the sphere and follow out the
play as signaled. Every move must
be made with the utmost celebrity. The
forward to receive the ball from the
center must take it on the run and the
man under the basket should do the
same and shoot for the goal before
his progress has stopped and the pur-
suing guard of the opposing team
reached him to block his pass.
In the diagram to the right is
shown the play reversed; that is
from the right forward to left for
ward in right forwards position. The
same rules for covering the bound Of
the ball, following a possible failure
on the part of the goal-shooting for
ward is also observed, the positions
of the three men used being reversed.
Now that we have considered the
plays which are the first taught to

will endeavor to aid the player in pre-
pairing physically for a grueling sea-
son. In the first place successful
basket ball career finds wind" the
first requisite and this cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other manner than by
hard playing for perhaps a little less
than a month before the match games
start. The wind" which you acquire
in football season, track season or
baseball season is not basket ball
wind" Participation in those sports
of course aids in putting the athlete
in better physical condition, but the
wind" which he needs is not to be
secured in any manner other than
that of hard indoor play.
In future articles we shall outline
more plays which are absolutely es-
sential and when these are impressed
will add what coaches recognize as
feature plays" that is, combinations
out of the ordinary run, which added
to the repertoire of teams, give va
ried and complicated style of attack
and defense.

e. IL Storm died this morning at cro-
yet of a broken neck received in an
accident last Friday, when he was
thrown from his horse. In the death
of II. H. Storm passed unique and
picturesque character. He was OF a
noble family In Holland, being Baron
Edward Won Storm, Graves Ende, NTH
in the royal9kamily. and cousin OF
Queen Wilhellnlna. Living In Siam a
number OF years in his early youth.
he became a close personal friend OF
the King OF that country and accom-
panied him with his thirty wives on
their memorable journey over tho
mountains on visit TO india. The
baron was the recipient or many pres
ents from his royal friend
Baron Storm came TO this country
about ten years ago and purchased a
farm from j. G. Carter, near Mediums
River. He had lived there continuous
1y since. Unmarried and of a quiet
and retiring disposition. he made nc-
quaintances slowly. but of late years
had entered moro heartily into the af-
fairs of the community. and became
model neighbor. holding the respect
and regard of all who came in contact
with him.
How the accident occurred is un-
known. except that he was thrown and
then dragged for some distance. When
found he was on his feet and walking
in dazcd state. The fact that he
could walk after having his neck bro
ken is almost incredible, but he was
a powerful man, of great vitality. Par
alysis did not ensue until several hours
after he was hurt.
Baron Storm, or Ende. has one liv-
ing relative in this country, Count Ed

rived shortly before his brothers death.

Mr.. Whitney said there was alum
dance of bear. fox, deer and seal in
the Arctic, and that the expenses of a
hunting trip there were not heavy. He
said that his principal expense was in
Cured by the sending of a boat for
him to Etah, for which he paid, his
trip there costing nothing because he
went with Peary. He said that he could

Mr. Whitney said that it was possible
TO hunt during the long Arctic night,
because the moon shone on an average
fourteen days a month but when 1t
disappeared IL was time TO make for
The huts, because that is no country
In which TO be lost"
