CHICAGO AND
BOSTON PLAY
% INNINGS
Several New Season Records
Put on Big League Books
by Tuesdays Games
(By The Associated Press


New season records for the longest
and closest game, greatest number
of homers hit and most victories
pitched were on the big league record
books today.
Boston and Chicago Of the National
League played 22 innings before the
Cubs won, to 3, at Boston. Babe
Ruth slammed out his ninth homer
in a game against Detroit. Herb
Pennock pitched his fifth victory in
the same contest, which the Yankees
won, 8 to 2.
1t took four hours and 13 minutes
to play that over-grown ball game at
Boston. The same two teams battled
Is innings Saturday and did not play
Sunday or Monday, making a total Of
40 innings in two consecutive games.
The record for long games is held
by the same Boston outfit, jointly
with Brooklyn, as the two played 26
innings in Boston seven years ago.
Osborn Is Hero
Bob Osborn was the hero Of the
22-nning struggle. He took the box
for Chicago in the ninth and held the
Braves to six hits. For Ia innings
from the seventh to the 22d-thc
rivals battled without Il score.
Grimm's single with man on base
finally ended it. The Cubs made
only one error and the Warriors two.
Not hit went for more than two
bases.
Babe Ruth brought his seasons
total Of circuit clouts to nine by
hooking new ball over the score
board at the Tigers park. Hcinic
Manush, Detroit center fielder, batted
safely four times out Of five, but
Pennock had the edge on Rip Collins
and thereby brought his total of
wins for the year to five. His near
est rivals are this same Collins, and
Meadows Of the Pirates, each with
four
National League Upsets
In the downfall Of the Cardinals,
. 4 to 3, at the hands Of the Phillies,
and the defeat Of the Pirates. 2 to l,
by the Robins, the National League
had 4 couple Of upsets. The loss
knocked the Buccaneers from third
places to fifth. as the Phillies went ia
third behind the Cards and the Cubs
slid into fourth. The Giants clung
to the lead by handing the Reds their
sixth straight defeat. 2 to 0.
After a massacre Of the Indians by
tho Senators, II to 0, the Cleveland
ers sank from fifth to seventh. The
st. Louis Browns went up, alon~ with
the Senators, by handing the Athletics
an unexpected lacing IL to 4. Beat
ing the White Sox with punched hits
6 to 3, the Red Sox renewed their
effort to get off the floor Of tho
league.
Every team meets new foe today
Except for today's opponent. eacl
team has now tried its stuff agains
every other club in it's league.

DRIBBLE LIMIT
is RESCINDED
BY COMMITTEE
PostponIee!s3 's4ihnaaui INAUGURATION Of
Much. opposed Measure I'm.
til 1928-1929 Season

New York, May 18..-(P)-The re-
cent action of the joint basketball
rules committee, limiting the use of
the dribble, has been rescinded and
the dribble will remain in status quo
for the 1929 season.
This announcement was made today
by John Brown, Jr., a member of the
committee, after q mail vote con-
Quoted by it's chairman, L. w. St.
John, director Of athletics at Ohio
State university, among the 20 men,
bers of the committee.
The committee adopted the dribb1e
rule, generally recognized as one Of
the most drastic bits Of basketball
legislation in the games history on
April 8. Announcement of the rule
was followed by a nationwide con-
troversy among coaches, players, Of
ficials and others. The rule would
have limited the dribble to single
bound, whereas the number of bounds
previously was unlimited.
Difficult to Enforce Immediately j.
Recognizing the difficulty involved
in putting the rule into force immedi-
ately, the committee decided to defer
the change until its meeting in April,
1928, and urged players, coaches, Of
ficials and others associated with the
game to make . thorough study in
the meantime in order that sug-
gestions might be brought before
the meeting next year.
"The rules committee believes that
limitation of the dribble is a neces.
sary step in. the best interests OF
basketball" Mr.. Brown said, "but il
deems it expedient that the proposed
change be held off for another year
so that suggestions for the limitation
may come at the proper time through
