READING BASKETBALL SALE
RATIFIED BY LEAGUE
Eastern Basketball Association Makes
Important Rule Changes.

Important Rule Changes.
At special meeting of the Eastern
Basketball League, held at the Hotel
Bingham last night, the sale of the Read
ing franchise by A A. Berlner to the
Reading Basketball Association, COM
posed of II. B. Schwartz, president; Bert
G.. Babo. secretary-treasurer; William r..
Eyric and r. r. Schwartz, was ratified
Berliner had been given certain time
by the Eastern League to dispose of his
franchise and as the new owners only
came into possession RECENTLY the Eastern
League went into executive session last
night to place it's stamp of approval on
the sale.
While the league moguls were together
they also adopted several changes in the
playing rules which should be OF benefit
to the game. The first was in changing
the time out method. the new rule read
ing:
"a time out can only be called when
the referee has the ball in his possess
sion"
The second change was made on the
toss-up In center and which was done to
prevent the punching up of forwards and
guards near the center men when the
ball was put into play. The rule reads:
"On the toss-up in center the forwards
and guards must be kept 10 feet from
center until the ball is tossed up. Lines
must be drawn across the floor the fun
width of the cage Players stepping
across this line before the ball Is put into
play commit an offense."
The league also made one striking
chAnge in the constitution and bylaws
which hit directly at the play-off series.
Hereafter only one game can be played
In the advent of the race ending in a tie,
and that game must be played upon.
neutral floor and under the control of the
league, and not individual owners. The
rule reads:
''In event of two clubs ending in tie
only one game shall be played on a neu-
tral floor and under the jurisdiction of
the league"

WHEN IS A WOMAN
OLD? ASKS Y. W. C. A.
Age Limit of Youth Placed at
35 by Association Here and in
Other Cities.

When does a Christian woman cease
to be young7 Estimates vary from 80
to 80 years, and It is cheering TO think
that In Philadelphia S5 is the critical fig
ure when It is time to set back the clock
The discussion arose over the action of
the Young women's Christian Associa-
tion Of Boston IL was willing TO with
hold criticism of It's members, whether
they were young, Christian or associa-
tlonal, or not. All that was necessary
was that they should be women
But II was found that there was not
enough room to accommodate all the ap-
plicants for room and board, and as 1t
was easier to find out who was not young
than to find out who was not a Christian,
It was decided to set an age limit. 1t
was decreed that woman over so was
no longer young.
This is the rule in most cities. 1t was
found. In some there Is no age limit.
The difficulty is that very young girls
do not want to live at the Y. W. c. A.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ia romance
of the Enoch Arden type, bridging n gap
of 10 years, with separation, remarriage
and lost affection as obstacles, has just
found its "happy ending" here.
Fifteen years ago Herbert Winner, of

disappeared.
Mrs. Winner, thinking him dead, mar
rIed C. Lundberg, also of San Francisco.
Mr.. Lundberg died a year ago.
Some months later Mrs. Lundberg' s
father, happening to be in St. Helena.
was amazed to meet Herbert Winner on
the street. The wanderer inquired about
his one-time wife and three daughters,
and finally decided to return to San
Francisco.
The result was that few days ago
Mr.. Winner and Mrs. Lundberg were re-
married under the ritual of tho Seven
Day AdVentists, in which religion Mrs
Lundberg Is an earnest worker.
They seem to love each other more
than ever" said Mr.. Higuera, who dis

GREER RESIGNS AS COACH
Athletic Director for C. H. S. Goes
Into Business,

Into Business.
Athletics at the Catholic High School
received a severe setback yesterday aft
ernoon when Professor John (Jack)
Greer, the athletic director and coach of
the football and baseball teams, an
nounced that he had accepted an offer
from his cousin, John Allyn, tho senior
partner of the publishing firm of Allyn
& Bacon, to so into business with them
in Boston.
This announcement of his retirement
from athletics came as big surprise
TO the faculty and the student body.
Although he has only been at the Purple
and Gold institution less than n year,
coming there last fall from the Catholic
University. where he was a star athlete
and coach, Professor Greer has worked
wonders with the r. C. II. S. athletic
interests. Besides making them a success
athletically, he also made them so finan-
cially. Last fall Professor Greer turned
out formidable football team, the first
team that the institution had had in four
years, while this spring the baseball nine,
which is under his guidance, is far above
the standard of previous ones
