HOW THE GLORIOUS OLD GAME
OF BASKET BALL ORIGINATED

center facing his adversary and the
game was begun by tossing the ball
up between them. The object was, of
course, to get the ball through the
other teams goal. But what If a foul
should be committed? Some penalty
must be exacted, so DR.. Naismith de-
cided that the team fouled against
should have privilege of trying to toss
the ball through the basket without
any attempt on the part of the oppos-
ing team to prevent him AS a goal
like this. was easier TO make than one
made in action, the field goal was
made to score two points and the free
goal only one. Thus the foundation
for the indoor football game was laid
and with a few minor adjustments
DIR. Naismith was ready to try out his
game. He divided his class of Is men
into two team of nine men each and
threw the ball up between the centers
The first basket ball game was played
and, needless to say, every player
went wild over it. Last but not least
the inventor had to think of a good
name for the game, one better than
Indoor football" One of his pupils
suggested that. as the game was to
toss the ball through a basket, the
game be called basket ball" So bas-
ket ball it was and basket ball it has
continued to be. Though since that
| time the nupber of players has been
reduced to five on each team, none OF
the principal rules of the game have
been changed.
The new game became instantly
popular and at the present time you
will find very few schools or clubs and
no Y. NJ. G. A. at all that does not
boast. OF one or several basket bal
teams.
So the next time you score a. diff
cult goal or get the jump on the OPP
posing center, thank DR.. James Mai
smith and the Y. NJ. c. A. for your
fun.

RISING TENDENCY
TOCOTTON MARKET
After the Middle Of the Week
After Poor Start.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. H. - The
low prices in cotton market last week
were made on the opening session,
when March dropped to 1928 and list
was II to 80 points under the close
of the preceding week. After that the
market had a much bitter tone and
the tendency was to rise, highest
prices being reached soon after the
middle of the week. Here the trading
months We're &c to 7S points higher
than the close OF the preceding week,
and SO to 105 points up from the bot
tom. March rose to 1881. The close
was at net advances of So to 81 points,
with March at 1921 In the spot de-
apartment prices gained so points on
middling, which closed at 1925. against
1900 cents on the close of this week
last year.
For a while. in the early part of the
week, the strikes among the New
England mills were an unsettIing fea-
'ture, but in the later sessions they had
but little influence against values, in
|spite of the continued spread of the
strike movements and the knowledge
that during the week to come there
would probably be much idle machin-
cry in New England textile mill CEN
tiers.
The steadiness was due to a great
extent, to covering of the short inter
ests as the result of the more agrees
sive attitude of traders on the long
side and the increase in bullish senti-
tment caused by the efforts in all of
the large markets of the country to
put prices to higher levels, beginning
with farm products, on the theory that
more prosperous times would have to
be brought about by the restoration
of normal buying power to the farming
classes.
Soldiers bonus legislation was for
while an unsettling influence be-
cause of the argument that it would
bring about an unfayorable increase
In taxation, but later on it seemed to
be regarded in a different light by
many traders, the argument being
that the distribution of bonus would
enormously increase the buying power
of the country.
On the closing sessions a private bu-
lreau forecast of $4,000 bales as the
January consumption of cotton by
American mills helped to sustain val
ues. On the opening sessions of the
coming week, which will be Tuesday,
since Monday win be observed as a
holiday in honor of Lincoln, the CEN
sus bureau viii issue its report for
january on American mills and some
T, of the buying at the end of last week
was due to the belief that the figures
on consumption would probably offset
any effect from the New England mills
situation. many mill workers having
voted to go on strike Monday. The
consumption figures will compare with
511.SO0 during December, and 566,463
during January last year.

Now that interest in basket ball is
at its highest perhaps it would be
timely to recall the origin of this
splendid game. DIR. James Naismith,
an experienced Y. NJ. c.. A. worker,
invented the cage spot in the early
eos, and this is how 1t all came about:
During the season of 1912, DIR.
Naismith was physical instructor of
the Springfield Training school for Y.
M. c. A. workers. There were IS men
taking training under him who did not
like any of the games played at that
time or the regular gymnasium work.
Dr. Naismith therefore decided to try
TO dope out a game that would bolster
up the interest of his pupils and at
the same time furnish the needed ex-
ercise. Football was a favorite with
the instructor so he thought of PLAN
ing a game of indoor football along
the line of rugby. Rugby football was
q rough game, however, much too
rough for, an indoor sport, so 1t would
be necessary to change some of the
fundamental rules in order to make
it suitable for DR.. Naismiths purpose.
Nothing daunted, however. he set out
on his difficult task.
The first thing to be eliminated was
tackling, The purpose of this phase
of the game was to down the man with
the ball. So this rule was changed so
that the ball would not be carried but
thrown. The goals used in football
would be of no use indoors so after
considerable thought. DR.. Naismith
tried an experiment. He took two
peach baskets and fastened them on
the walls at opposite ends of the gym.
This plan worked fine, so the oval
shaped ball used in the outdoor game
was changed to a round one to make
it go through the goal easier. To make
the game perfectly fair, the ball should
be placed in the center of the court
at the start of the game. So player
from each team was placed in the

ANOTHER PONzI Is

Raymond Bischoff Said to Have

Over Four Million Dollars.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.--Raymond J..
BisohofR, taken into custody yesterday
after involuntary proceedings in bank
ruptcy had been instituted against him
by creditors. today admitted that he
owes about $4,500,0 900, representing the
savings of 5000 Chicagoans, mostly
foreigners. Less than s1,000,000 worth

Bischoff, whose financial operations

lief when taken into custody by deputy
marshals. He had received threats
from those. he is alleged to have
fieeced, he said, and was afraid to VEN
ture into the south and west side dis
tricts, where most of his victims live.
The Central Trust company was yes
terday appointed receiver for Bis
choff. Felix Streyclxmans, attorney for
the creditors, said he believed Bis
choffs liabilities will run near $1,000
900 and that the receiver will be lucky
to realize half Of the face value of the
stock held by him. Bischoff is 20
years old. BY paying large returns on

instances, he gained a reputation as a
| financial wizard among the people
| with whom he dealt, according to fed
eral agents. Profits of 80 per cent on
short term loans We're said to be COM
mon and Bischoff is said to have paid
as high as 100 per cent interest.
| According to Mr.. Streyckmans, only
| the creditors that objected to long
waits were paid in actual cash. The
rest, he said. were content to accept
their alleged earnings in more notes.
| Some of the people sold almost all
they owned to give Bischoff money,
Mr.. Streyckmans said. One man, he
said, sold his home for $1,000 and
turned over $4,000 TO Bischoff.
James j. Kelly, attorney for Bischoff,
today asserted that his client had vio-
lated no law but has simply lost money
by speculation.
Creditors may receive 10 cents on

was no basis for prosecution.
