No club in the American league valued Pipp to the extent of s15,O0o. and thereby hangs the tale that made him a member of tho Cincin- natl club of the National league.
 Tho Reds, badly in need of Il first baseman. offered the Yankees s15,000 for Pipp. The New York club having no particular use for Pipp. since Gehrig had displaced him at first base, asked waivers,
 It is said two American league clubs, Philadelphia and Cleveland, refused 10 waive. Both clubs Were willing to take q chance on Pipp at the waiver price. which is much less than the S15,000 offered by the Gin cinnati club.
 On many major league baseball matters there exists q gentleman s agreement between the magnatcs. New York explained it's reason for asking waivers was due to the offer received from the Cincinnati club, Cleveland or Philadelphia could have Pipp before Cincinnati if either cared to pay $15.000. Neither club 1 believed him worth that much of a gamble. in addition to the big salary he would demand.
 Both clubs withdrew their ad- mittcd desire of taking on ripp and permitted him to go to Cincinnati He is certain to add much strength to that club and is worth twice tho price paid for him.

TIME FOR REST IN
 BASKETBALL GAME
Court Game Not as Strenuous as It Appears From the Side Lines

Lawrence. kans., April 24 Pl-- Basketball appears from the side lines 10 bc Il game that progresses with brcathless speed a grnelling contest to wear out quickly even tho most seasoned player.
 From the starting whistle to the final gun. however, it has been found there is as much timo for rest as for activity for the team as a whole, while for the individual player there is twice as much time for rest as for activity.
 These conclusions have been deter mined by Dr. James Naismith, inven- tor of the game, who has made de- tailed studies of Missouri Valley con- | ference basketball games for the last two years. Dr. Naismith has been member of the University of Kansas physical education faculty for nearly thirty years.
 With stop watch in hand, Doctor Naismth has watched individual players and teams as q whole, both in tho university and high school contests, and he is convinced that for high school youths.
 Ono Of inc most strenuous games In the Missouri Valley conference in years was tho Kansas Nebraska con- test of 1925. which decided the Nal- Icy basketball championship. From Al ,I.t, ,t,An x1 these results:
 Time elapsed during the game, six tY-ninc minutes; time taken out. and other rests, five times for 2 total of nine minutes, fifty-onc seconds; average rest period. 1:5S. There were thirty-five relaxation periods ss when q goal was made. foul called. q held ball. or ball out of bounds, These periods varied from four sec ends 10 fifty seconds, the average being 11.7 seconds.
 On the other hand there were for ty activity periods in which playing was exceedingly fast, these periods varying from four seconds 10 two minutes and thirty-fivo seconds, the average being fifty-onc seconds. The total of team activity during the six ty-nine minutes was thirty-four min- utes; the total of relaxation and rest. thirty-five minutes. Thus the relax ation was slightly more than fifty per cent.
 In this particular game the ac- tivity of individual players averaged twenty minutes, twelve seconds, or about thirty per cent of the total of siXy-nine minutes.
 The longest period of activity for any Kansas man observed by Doctor Naismith was that of Boby NoSby. q guard in tho Kansas Drake game in 1925. Mosby was on the go for two minutes, thirty.five seconds: rested twenty seconds and was again off for two minutes, fifteen seconds. Time out for the full two minutes then was called.
 A similar study Of football made by Doctor Naismith showed individu- al players are in action for ten to twelve minutes out of the sixty min utes of playing time.
