why doesn't New Castle High get

Penn HUe Tries Out
NeU Foul Rule

Section when n foul has been
called. the referee shall Immediate
~ secure possession OF the ball. and
without delay place it In the pos
session OF the opponent Of the player
wLo has had a foul called on him.
The ball must be put in play
again within five seconds by the
player throwing, rolling or bounc-
ing the ball TO another player. by
dribbling or by shooting for the
goal. The goal. IL made. shall count
two points.
Section 2-The opponent OF the
player putting the ball in play,
must not stand within three feet OF
the player with the ball. and he
must not advance toward him until
the ball has left his possession, Oi
in case of a shot for a basket tho
player has advanced and is in the
act OF shooting.
There has been considerable crit
icism to this rule as proposed by
Penn. 1t Is feared by some of the
coaches that II will slow up tic
game considerably one thing is
certain. II will make players wary
OF committing a foul near their op-
ponent's basket. as it will give the
opponent a chance for a field goa
from under the basket.

BY "NfE"

The first half OF the Wilmington
City Quot League came to an end
on last Friday night with a victory
FOR the Seventh Ward A. A. over

Forty Acres put up some very fast
games in the first half. Manager

a team composed OF some OF tie
best players in the city.

the leader at the present time. hav-
ing won fifty games and lost five.
Desco Is second. with forty-four
won and eleven lost
Several OF the teams are running
very close, and the second half
should see some hotly contested
games. as most teams have added
new material and intend to make a
hard fight TO gain first place before
the end OF the season.
The Pioneers have won only four
games to date
owing 20 the fact that they are
tied up in several lines OF sport,
they found Il impossible TO play or
their postponed games with Brown
son, and Manager Desmond for
feited them so Brownson. These are
the only games forfeited so far in
the league.

minor leagues TO oppose the draft
are the Pacific Coast League. the
international League and the Amer
lean Association.
These three leagues felt that the
draft kept them from getting a
proper sum for q great many OF
their stars. and also often relieved
them Of some player they were very
deslrous OF keeping.
II Is very easy TO see the position
OF the minor league club owners on
the draft by keeping themselves
out OF the drafts. they are able 20
make clubs bid for the services OF
their stars.
II no club offers a satisfactory
amount, Il is not necessary 10 let
the player 20. Incidentally. II they
are very desirous OF retaining some
certain player. they need not offer
him for sale.
The rule Is not so pleasing 10 the
player. In a great many cases Il
prevents some promising player
efrom getting chance in the majors.
In the days OF the draft rule, the
magnates were always willing 20
take chance on the promising
youngster because the price was
! stated and was reasonable.
Now the moment a big league
club wants a player, the price is set
at about three times what Il would
have been under the draft.
The draft rule Is a fine thing FOR
the major league magnate and TIE
ball player. The big league owner
gets the player at a reasonable
amount. and many players are GER

Publicity OF the proper sort is al
ways helpful.
But It is may belief that baseball
suffers greatly as a result OF the pub
liclty that Is sivcn every sale which
involves a big sum OF money.
Since such a transaction Is news
the papers always carry It. often Civ
ing It a big spread on the sport page.
Naturally II makes interesting
reading. but there Is always a reac-
ton TO such publicity. II keeps base
ball on the sport pages. but really at
n cost that is prohibitive.
II would be a wiser investment TO
spend some OF the money. simply for
advertising purposes. n a desire to
keep the game before the public
actuated the giving out OF the sale
price.
Stories OF the great prohts made
in baseball were the cause OF the hVi7
nation OF the Federal League. Men
with money read the stories OF the
fabulous earnings, and easily fell for
the wiles OF some promoter.
The Federal League cost the major
league magnates al least a million
dollars. Likewise Il created a spirit
OF unrest among the players. who
believed they should get a cut OF the
earnings.
The Federal League was born OF
the stories given out about the great
profits in baseball I will wager that
the stories about New York paying
s125. 900 for Groh. a 34-year-old vet
eran. ana $4,000 for an untried
youurster. are making lot OF mon
eyed men wonder II baseball isn't the
way TO get rich quick.

prices II a club can AFFORD IT, but 4
