CHANGES MANY
IN RULES FOR
BASKET BALL

Outstanding among the changes in
the basket ball playing code are those
abolishing the Observation-Disclosures on
the jump ball and the goal zone. The
rule makers felt that these changes
could be made safely under present
conditions and that they would meet
with the approval of the majority Of
those interested in the game.
They are embodied in the new
Spalding guide.
Under the new jump rule it is a
personal foul for a player to inter-
fere in any way with his opponent,
and this has special reference 20 the
hand not used in tapping the ball. To
avoid this foul players should try to
keep this hand in the plane of the
body.
The detailed changes in the rules
follow:
The goal zones are abolished. The
free throw lines are the parts OF the
old zone lines within the circles.
The face of the blackboard must be
painted white.
Players Of the same team shall not
wear duplicate numbers
NO DANGEROUS BRACES.
The referee shall not permit any
player to wear braces, etc, which are
dangerous to others.
The referee may disqualify players
for fragrant unsportsmanship.
The umpire shall keep the scorers
informed upon decisions made by the
referee and the umpire.
The score book of the home team
shall be the official book unless the
referee rules otherwise.
The edges of the blackboard are n
bounds; that is, if the ball strikes the
edge of the blackboard and rebounds
to the court it continues in play.
Jump ball at free throw line instead
of at center.
A player may pivot after legal
dribble.
UP AT CENTER.
After a free throw following tech
meal foul the ball shall be thrown up
at center whether the free throw is
made or missed.
The hand-behind- the-back require
ment on jump ball is abolished. II a
player leaves the circle before the
ball is tapped a technical foul shall
be called. A new section is inserted
under rule 15B, making it personal
foul for a player to interfere in any
way with an opponent when the ball
is tossed up between them. On a
jump ball the official is to blow his
whistle when the ball leaves his hand
but the ball must not be tapped be-
fore it has reached its highest point.

A system Of signals was devel-

timing the movements of the mob.
The action was started by a blast
of siren. Five assistant directors,
each with a megaphone, were
stationed at strategic points to
give directions. These directions
were given by Paul Bern with a
pistol. He needed the pistol be-
cause of the terrific din. Each
shot was the signal for a dra-

AGREE To
SERIES
Minor Classic VIII Be Held
On Pacific Coast After
Eastern Series
By MATT GALLAGHER.

Los ANGELES. June 3.-Coast
league ball players have signed an
agreement to play in the minor
league series to be held on the Pa
cific coast this fall.
Harry A.. Williams, president OF
the Pacific Coast League, has re.
ceived the signatures or nearly all
the players.
So that the winning club OF the
Coast circuit would have complete
team to battle the victorious East
ern squad Il was necessary for all
the players IN the Coast circuit to
sign new agreements. Otherwise
some Of the players might not want
to remain oyer for the series which
Coast league season.
AS originally agreed upon the win
ming team of the American associa-
tion was to play the championship
Coast league squad. Press dis
patches from tho East state that
the international League. the third
of the class AA circuits In baseball,
has agreed to enter the play-off.
The winning American Associa
tion and International League teams
will meet in the East and the VIC
torious squad will come West.
If Oakland, San Francisco, Yer
non, Sacramento or Los Angeles
win the pennant the games will be
played on their home grounds. If
Seattle, Portland or Salt Lake fin
ish first in the Coast league the
series will be divided between the
San FraRcisco and Los Angeles
ball parks.
That was provided for because
the weather in the northwest and
in Utah is not suited for baseball
during the latter part of October.
Baseball men declare that the
members Of the winning team will
reap a big monetary reward in the
coming series.
Last year the Kansas City club
played Seattle oply one game, the
others being called off because OF
rain, and enough money was taken
in on that one game to pay all
expenses and leave a few dollars
over for the players.
As the American Association and
International League seasons erd
considerably earlier than the Coast
league schedule no time will be lost
in the eastern club coming out
here.
