Problems

Ques.-A PLAYER receives a pass while he
Is in the air with both feet on the floor
After he comes 70 the floor with She ball
how manys steps Is he allowed In getting
rid of II?
Ans.-The rules DO not state exactly how
many steps may be taken when u player who
Is in motion receives the ball. but he must
stop or get rid of the ball as soon as pos
stble. There are so many different situations
possible under this heading that the rules
direct the officials 10 use their Judgment
Ques.-The referee called a violation on
n player. The latter was fouled by an op-
ponent Immediately after the violation was
called. The referee disregarded the violation
and permitted the player 10 try for two
free goals. The game was protested because
the referee disregarded the violation.
Ans.-The referee was correct in disre-
garding tho violation. but II the case is
described accurately. only one free throw
should have been awarded because the ball
WAS dead when the foul was called and
was not in the possession of tho offended
player in his own goal rome.

Pitcher Smith is highlander and
formerly hurled for the Giants and
Phillies. He is a former college star.
Catcher Dutch Miller, now an Indian.
but formerly Brooklyn catcher, urged
Bush to obtain Smith and the Tribe
boss feels that Miller is a good judge
of talent.
Smith did not pitch many games
for the Dodgers last year. but in the
games worked the earned run aver
age against him was only $50, which
is considered low. He was in twenty
five contests, pitched ninety-one in
nings and was found for ninety-nine
hits. He did not complete many
games, but there were other good
twirlers in the National last season
who failed to last the entire route
many times.
First Baseman Schmandt was sought
by number Of class IA clubs over
the country, three others In the Amer
lean Association having filed bids for
him. According to Bush, Louisville,
st. Paul and Minneapolis wanted the
tall f1rst-sacker.
Schmapdt played with the Houston
CTexas) League team last season and
his batting average was around $40.
He was sent to Houston under option
Sscause during 1928 1t was impossible
for a major league team to loan a
player to class "A.
Ray Sohmandt had experience at
both first base and the second sack
when an active player with Brooklyn.
He was used in the Jack Fournier deal
with the Cardinals last spring, but
was later returned to Dodger juris-
diction and then transferred to Hous-
ton.
Ownie Bush will have a large party
to pilot to the Plant City training
camp two weeks from Saturday. The
roster is growing.
ownie now figures he needs another
hard-hitting outf1elder and at least
one more pitcher of the mainstay
type. OF course, there may be other
changes after he gives the athletes
the managerial up and down.
Order your tickets early for the
Tribe opener April Is or you may have
to remain out side the Washington
Park fence.
The purchase of Schmandt does not
mean Jay Kirlle is through. IF Jay
does a comeback with the willow he'll
mot be easy to eliminate.
Toledo is clustering some real tai
ent. Minneapolis is strengthening and
also Milwaukee. The A. A is sure

was approaching them at this moment
with wine and gnsses. She was of
medium height and slim. Her COM

They were singing now down at

strident voice In some country song
Of harvest and vintage and what they

the quiet Of the evening, there seemed
suddenly to leap into life a very fur
mace Of revolt. She was weary of
her monotOnous tasks-the abuse of
her stepfather; the care of those
motherless children, not of her own
stock yet dependent upon her: the
gray tedium of life unbeautiful and
hopeless. And now this fresh terror!
Her fingers tore at the rough splinters
of the gate. Her eyes travelled hum

passing here and there through the
forests, rising in the far distance to
the top of the brown hillside, and
disappearing in mystery. At the other
