BASKET. BALL rules
Uniform Set Have Been Adopted
For the United States. ~ -

The basket bah roles for 1856
will be very different from any that
have preceded them, the reason be-
ing that for the iisTst time in the his.
tory of the game three national organ
izations have united in formulating
a standard set Of rules for the United
States,-these bodies being the ma
tional College Association. the Anne
ture Athletic Association and the In
ternationaI Young Mems Christian
Associations.
The past few years have demon
strated that having different sets OF
rules for various organizations and
sections of the country was not con.
ductiye TO the best interests of the
game or players. Growing out of this
dissatisfaction the National Ameture
Athletic Federated Committee recon-
mend the preparation and adoption of
uniform rules in all sports throughout
the country. AS a result of this action
the National Collegiate and the inter
national Y. NJ c. AS through their
iGUl EbChldAtNCo uACL anu uuig AOf AoDN
and adopted basket ball rules for the
present season. The Ameture Athletic
Union learning of this action suggest.
ed that a further revision take place
and that one set OF Official rules be
published for all bodies. After careful
consideration this suggestion was
followed and the. rules have been care
fully worked over by special com.
mittee representing the three organi-
cations. .... d..
The arrangement has been entirely
altered, so that various features, are
dealt with in logical order. Every.
thing relating to the equipment for
the game is first presented and then
matters about the players. After that
the game itself is made clear in posi-.
tive statements This is followed by
a carefully arranged list of violations
OF the rules and their penalties with
a later division on playing terms. In
many instances entire new wording
has been used, but will all these
changes no radical change in the &c
tual playing of the game VII be not
iced, except in the introduction OF
the intercollegiate rule permitting a
shot and score after a dribble. This
play has been in use for several years
among the colleges and few sAssocia
tions and has been uniformly salts
factory. Roughness in eliminated from
this play by placing the responsibility
for fouling largely upon the player
who does the dribbling The require
ment of an Official make OF ball and
basket has been discarded. There Il
Undoubtedly room for Improvement
but the 1855 rules are decided ad
vance on those OF the past.

Sazanoff Afhrms Loyalty
of Russia to Allies

Petrograd. Aug. % dispatch to Lion
don Daily Chronicle"D In statement
yesterday to Petrograd journalists For
eIgn Minister Sazanoff, referring to the
rumored possibility Of separate peace,
said:
THE only foundation for these
rumors are repeated attempts made by
the enemy to begin with France and
Russia negotiations for a separate
peace, but these attempts have met
with an absolutely hostile reception in
both countries. The enemy's calcula-
tons of sowing discord among the
Allies are bound to fail. The ties unit
ing the Allies are being steadily
strengthened and their confidence in
the ultimate attainment by their united
efforts Of the object they have in view
is mistaken
"The question Of refugees has as
sumed startling dimensions. The popu-
lation of the western provinces is roll
inL into the interior and taxing to the
utmost the resources of state and pri-
vate relief. The exodus has already
had one most important result-the
adjustment of the Jewish Pale. have
excellent authority for affirming that
the government will put this measure
into effect by imperial decree very soon.
The experience of war fas shown be-
yond a doubt that the Pale has been
NJ only burdensome TO Jews, but
harmful to the state and that its con-
tinued existence was dangerous"

Russians See in Riga
Victory Turning of Tide

Petrograd, Aug. c2.--The statemort
that the German fleet had been Jc-
feated at Riga wiki the loss OF ire
battle cruiser Molti;e and three other
cruisers and seven torpedo boats elicit
ed unbounded enthusiasm here to-day
and was accompanied by touching
scenes.
The news spread through the city
and the people gathered at the news
paper Offices awaiting the hanging OFT
of the official bulletin. The people
regard the reported victory as the
turning of the tide in favor of Russia.
The effect Of tie destruction o. a
German vessel OF tae dreadnought
class by a British submarine will, 1t
is expected here, have a beneficial
political result and tend to dissipl.e
largely the cloud Of discomfort over
the apparent inacti-n of the western
Allies.
The naval successes, combined with
favorable news from the Dardanclles,
the declaration Of war against turkey
by Italy, the reported clearing OF the
diplomatic atmosphere IN The Balkans
and Foreign Minister Sazonof's cate
gorical denial that there is the slight
est foundation for the undercurrent
talk of a separate peace on the part oil
Russia, are expected 10 react Deneh-
cially for the military operations.
The retention of the Bielostok Rail
way and three fourths of the NIemen
River in Russian hands and the firm
ness of the whole Russian line under
the most recent attacks inspire conn
dence in the military authorities that
the darkest hour has passed.

tive against the Federal proposal.
but none has been named 70 act as
spokesman for the opponents.
Some delegates think that William
Barnes may assume the active leader
shin. but this attitude on the proposal
is uncertain. At one time last week II
was thought that he was opposed TO
the proposition. In an address IN the
convention ne referred 10 the Federal
