H OES everybody know that there
are three different sets oi
basketball rules IN this coun
try? Not all Southerners, ] am sure
and for the reason that in the South
we have only one set with Nis an
teams college. y NJ c. A. or ath-
letic club play by the Y NJ c. A.
rules These are also the rules Of
the 4. A. T..
But IN other parts of the country
there exist two additional sets OF
rules, the college and the profes-
sional The latter are 10 use by
strictly professional teams Of which
there are two principal leagues
one In and around Philadelphia. the
other IN eastern Ohio.
We will not dwell on the latter,
as IL viii probably be many years
yet before we have any professional
basketball ia the South but II is
worth while referring 10 the college
rules OF the North because of the
fact that many down this way are
asking why the colleges OF the South
do not play by the national college
rules instead Of by the Y A. C..
rules This is a perfectly pertinent
inquiry, and we win inquire into e.
Now there is not great deal of
difference between the two sets of
ordinances-au IL is pity that
there should be any difference what
ever The college officials and
those OF the Y NJ c. A. should get
together and agree upon Identical
laws, as has been done by the
various baseball leagues and by the
colleges In football The main diff.
ference relates to the rule in drib-
bling. without going into technical
tiles which viii interest no one,
will simply say that the rules In
force among the Northern college
teams are such as to put premium
upon clever dribbling. This Is a
very pretty feature of the game, and
one that would, | am certain. prove
highly pleasing TO the Southern
spectator as II has TO audiences
everywhere.
But | am wandering a little from
my main theme which was to eX-
plain why the Southern college
teams do not use the rules OF the
Northern colleges, instead of those
Of the y NJ G. A. The explanation
lies In the fact that the game was
first taken up by the Y, NJ. G. A.
organizations all over the country
IN fact, II was strictly an associa-
tion game and, naturally there was
at that time but the one set of rules
10 govern-those made by the Y. NJ.
G A. inventors of the pastlme.
In few years, however. the
Eastern ana Western colleges took
UP the game, and in very short
period thereafter the Eastern col
leges decided they saw ways TO i'm
prove the game as then played Ac-
cordingly they got together and
agreed upon certain changes aud
rules Of their own few years ago
they took the Western college teams
into their conferences and allowed
them to have say on their college
rules committee. The result has
been that since that time the East
ern and Western college teams have
had rules OF their own. But In the

CASE IS
HOLDING ATTENTION
DR.. Dixon Confirms Diagnosis by
Personal Work; Radium
May Be Tried

A case Of leprosy in Oil City was
last night reported to the State De-
partment of Health. The sufferer is
Frank Syracuse, an Italian laborer
who came to, OIL City from Buffalo a
year ago, and has since been living
in a boardinghouse in that place. In
many respects the case is like that
which appeared here seven years ago
in Mock Sen.
The case was first diagnosed by Dr.
j. F. Davis, of Oil City, who imme-
diately reported it to DR.. Samuel G..
Dixon, Commissioner of Health, re-
questing confirmation of his dag
nosis. Specimens We're forwarded to
the Department of Health laborator-
les in Philadelphia and under the
personal direction of DIR. Dixon, who
has devoted much attention to this
disease, the meteorological studies
were made which confirmed the origi-
nal diagnosis.
A number of physicians in Pitts
burgh, who have been experimenting
with radium have requested permis-
sion to take charge of this case and
endeavor to effect a cure by the use
of radium. The State Department of
Health has granted permission for
the removal of the case from Oil CITY
to Pittsburgh, providing it's regula-
tions for the isolation and care of the
patient are rigidly adhered to-

.GRUNDY IS HONORED
BY MANUFACTURERS
400 Members of State Association
Pledge Loyalty to Leader
at Banquet
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-Nearly 400
captains of industry of the keystone
State-manufacture from all parts
Of Pennsylvania paid a remarkable
tribute to Joseph r. Grundy. Of Rris-
tol, the head and leader of the asso-

Bellevue -Stratford last night.
And while pledging their loyalty to
their chief likewise decided, amid
ringing cheers, to renew the battle to
again give to the business interests of
this nation the protection it's toilers
enjoyed under laws recently wiped
from the Federal statute books. The
demand also was made that vicious,
meddlesome legislation must cease.
All parts of the State were repre-
sented in the large company that
gathered to do honor to the guest of
the evening, and in speech and song
gave token of their appreciation of his
work in defending the vast industrial
system OF PENNSYLVANIA, while assaults
upon him in hostile press were hot
ly denounced. The employers of more
than 250,000 men and owners of in
dustrial plants capitalized in many
millions participated in the feast.
Mr.. Grundy's reception reached the
proportions of an ovation. AS she rose
to speak the audience sprang to their
feet and gave cheer after cheer, then
broke into song.

SUFFRAGE DEBATE IN
JERSEY LEGISLATURE
Women From All Parts of State
Crowd Assembly Chamber to
Hear Speeches
BY Associated Press

Trenton. n. j.. Jan. 2S.-Women
from all parts of the State crowded
the assembly chamber at the capitol
to-day to hear speeches for and against
equal suffrage in New Jersey. The
hearing was held before the commit
tee of the whole of the assembly, to
which the members of the Senate were
invited.
The House judiciary committee has
already decided to report favorably a
resolution providing for equal suffrage
Last year the legislature passed a
resolution to submit the suffrage ques-
ton to vote of the people and it was
to have been passed at the present ses-
sion, under the provisions of the con-
stitution, and submitted to the people
next Fall. Failure to properly adver-
tise the resolution, however, nullified
the action of the last legislature and
the resolution will have to be passed
by the present and the next legis-
lature in 1915 before it can be voted
upon by the electors.

for the murder of his father in Ian

penitentiary into the sunlight here
to-day a free man. Last week the
State Board of Pardons recommended
his pardon, which was granted by
the Governor.
About 100 persons were at the peni-
tentiary entrance to see the longtime
prisoner come through the big prison
gate. Rudy was met by Mrs. Mary

sisted in obtaining his pardon. Rudy
pushed his way through the crowd
and entered a taXicab, the first of its

Later he was taken to the home OF
Mrs. Price and planned to leave dur
ing the afternoon for Christiana, Pa,
where he will live on a farm.
At Mrs. Prices house Rudy talked of
his long Imprisonment. He said he
was employed at weaving mems socks
and later was made trusty. AS q
trusty he saw for the, first time year
and half ago an automobile which
had entered the prison yard. He
stared with open-eyed wonder at tall
buildings and other modern things
he saw on his way from prison to the
church and the social workers home.
Rudy said that when he entered
prison he had a wife and four chill
dren. His wife has since divorced
him and remarked. Rudy said he
never heard from them after he en-

troubled to visit him he would not
look them up. He recalled how his

But we also have made a great tran

Such transitions, however, always
give rise to an excess of cranks and

things which are dangerous.
I'VE should see that the coming
