A we'll trained caddy Is one Of the
best things about golf; a poorly train
ed caddy. undoubtedly the worst.
good caddy can often help player by
timely advice, though this advice is
distasteful to some players. As an
illustration Of what poor caddy can
do, cite the case Of Leo Diegel, who
was bumped from third to sixth place,
due to a poor caddy. while playing the
Missouri open championship In 1924.
Diegels ball went into trap; the
caddy spotted it and also nickel ~
ing in the trap about 10 feet from the
ball. The caddy made dive for the
nickel and Diegel' was penalized two
strokes for disturbing the hazard.
This difference of two strokes in his
score meant a difference OF several
hundred dollars in prize money.

CATTLE: The condition Of cattle

SHEEP: The condition of sheep

points below that Of a month ago.
Last year during this period their
condition advanced six points to 1902
per cent Of normal. Sheep have
endured the cold weather better than
cattle. although some shrinkage Is
evident. The weather has been bad
on the breeding season and may
have its effect on the 1925 lamb
crop. Coyotes have taken their u.s.

Local Red Cross
Has Many Calls From
Persons Wanting Work

Although the local Red Cross
chapter has not had many calls
from destitute tourists in the last
few weeks. the chapter has been
taking care OF a number Of local
cases and has In a number Of In
stances. where help was greatly
needed, furnished families in Rawlins
with groceries, clothes and in some
instances secured work for different
members of the family.
Most OF the calls to the Red Cross
have been women wanting work such
as washing and other work Of similar
nature. With the letting out Of some
men in Parco and In the railroad
shops. many families have become
destitute for In many instances the
men who were let out are the ones
who are very poorly fixed financially.
There has been a general exodus Of
this class from Rawlins in the last
few weeks which relieved the work
of the Red Cross greatly.
The housing conditions in the
city has been somewhat relieved,
still the Republican office every day
has a number of calls for houses,
but 1t Is believed that a number Of
families are moving into houses
which rent cheaper.

continue In very good condition. The
range has continued open In nearly
every county but feeding was neces-

OF the United States Division OF Crops
and Livestock estimates.
RANGES: The condition OF the
range is SO per cent OF normal or two
points below that of December /.
Last year during this time there was
an advance OF one point 10 100 per
cent OF normal condition. Consider
able snow fall and extremely cold
weather has been largely responsible
for this decline in condition. Warm
rains and melting snow during No

and lose Its grazing value. The snow
has drifted to n great extent and

much OF the range has been open or

Some Changes in
Basketball Rules
For This Season

The Nock Of new basketball rules
in effect this season Is almost with
out exception designed t. ease the
burden of the officials rather than to
change the game In any of Its essen
tiai points. Points OF dispute have
been clarified by notes explaining
them and by changing words with
ambiguous meanings.
One of the most interesting chang
es In the code has to do with the
actions of the substitutes who enter
the game. Substitutes must report
their name, number and position to
the scorer. who halts play for the
new mans injection into the affair.
Then before the sub may withdraw
and the man whom he replaced can
return to the game, the sub must play
In at least one scrimmage.
Another rule of considerable i'm
portanoe Ia that which permits the
timekeeper. at the end of the half
of the game. should his gun fail to
function, to go upon the floor and
halt the play. Points scored after
the time is officially up. and the gun
should have been fired, do not count
unless the ball had left the players
hand before time was up.
Concerning fouls made upon a
player when he is in the act of
shooting. the rules are rewritten and
a 10 clause added that provides
that, "lf a foul Is committed by a
player while he or a member of his
team Is trying for goal from the
field, the ball is dead at the time
the foul is made and the goal II
made does not count, except hat II
the foul is committed after the ball
leaves the players hands the goal.
II made. counts.
In the eighth section OF rule seven
there Is a Q definition OF a pivot.
which allows a player to move one
foot "a freely as he wishes as long
as he keeps his pivot foot station
airy. By this 1t permits a player to
turn completely around ON his pivot
foot as long as he keeps the foot
stationary. The rule also declares
that in dribbling from a pivot the
dribble must start before the pivot
foot leaves the floor. The rule thus
eliminates running with the ball be-
fore the dribble Is started after a
pivot.
Another important change in the
ruling Is that In case Of deliberate vi
olation Of the rules whereby the vio-
lating side gains an advantage. the
referee may overlook the offense. An
example of this Is where q short
center deliberately fails to put his
hand behind his back in jumping
and the ball goes to the opposing
team out Of bonds and their signals
play Is useless. Also repeated award
Ing OF throws such as occurs when
the crowd razzes an official Is called
multiple throws"
A foul committed upon a player In
the act OF shooting outside Of the
seventeen foot mark gives the foul
cd player two free throws. AS
formerly. a foul committed upon a
player within the seventeen foot
mark gives the offended side two
free throws. while q foul committed
on . player outside OF the seventeen
foot mark. and who Is not In the
act Of shooting. allows n free
throw. The fouled player Is given
ten seconds to shoot his free throw

HANDS OFF
Executive, Assured Of No Suf-
fering, TO Let Congress
Meet Coal Problem

Despite renewed pleas for Federal
Intervention in the anthracite coal
strike, now In its tenth week. there
was little indication today that
President Coolidge plans to change
his hands off, policy.
The Presidents principal advisers
in the strike situation have advised
HIM that there Is no actual suffer

that there Is plenty OF bituminous
and anthracite substitutes such as
coke, and that while there Is con.

holders there is no real privation.
Mr.. Coolidge also is inclined to
let Congress wrestle with the prob.
lem. A year ago he recommended
to Congress that the Executive be
empowered to take steps in just
such q coal strike as now has
arisen. but Congress let his request
go unfulfilled. and the President APP
parently is content to let the onus
rest with Congress.
The latest plea for intervention
was made by Senator Copeland
lDem) Of New York, who said he
was reliably informed that the
operators are willing to meet the
miners" and await only the initia-
tive Of some agency like the White
House to end the strike.
