David S. Barry, sergeant of arms

order of the Reed Committee. that he
proceed with a thousand dollars Sc
cured elsewhere, to Pennsylvania and
take over the ballot boxes.
The committee is unanimously de-
cided to send it's special attorney
Jerry C. South, for the boxes, but this
gives the Pennsylvania authorities a
technical excuse to refuse to turn
them over, without court action
The committee advised Barry that
$1,000 was available for its expenses
at once and requested a written an
swer from the sergeaft-at-arms at 8
o'clock yesterday stating whether he
would carry out the instructions
Barry's answer was to refuse.
The source of the money available
for the expenses of Barry and his
deputies was not indicated in the COM

sisted that the ballots in Delaware,

.MCGRATH LOSES
FIRST FIGHT FOR
BOSS PLUMBERS
Has Eye Knocked Out;
Admits Aided Boss

The left eye of Michael McGrath,
president of the Queens County
Plumbers Union, was removed at
Bellevue Hospital yesterday because
Of injuries received earlier in the day
in a fight at the union meeting at
252 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City.
McGrath, it is said, picked a fight
with Bernard Scannapieco after de-
flying decision of majority Of the
members on the question Of continu-
ing the existence Of a Legislative
committee" whose duties were to see
that the regulations of the Sanitary
Code We're lived up to.
Bosses Hated Committee.
This committee had uncovered num-
erous cases where these regulations
were ignored, and consequently
aroused the bitter antsgonism of the
plumber bosses. Various attempts
were made to "kill" this committee,
including pleas for court injunctions
which were dismissed,
At this meeting a communication
was read from the Master Plumbers
Association, demanding that this com
mittee be abolished. President Nc
Grath after the reading of the let
ter insisted that the desires Of the
bosses be complied with, "fer the good
of the union"
Vote TO Keep Committee.
A vote on the motion to discharge
the committee resulted in about so
in favor and approximately 300 mem
bers who wanted the committee con-
tinued. Notwithstanding the vote,
MeGrath declared the committee abol-
ished.
At this point Seannapieco asked the
president whether he was interested
gin the union or the bosses" To
which McGrath replied, "the bosses,
now" The fight then resulted.
Bitterness between the progressive
members OF the union and the Of
ficials came to a head recently with
the expose Of Is nou-union men found
working on a job for Harry Human
ski, Brooklyn contractor. McGrath
had defended this situation, after first
denying that the men were not men,
hfrs of the union.

bring about cessation of criticism
In basket ball today 1t is quite pos
sible for one great dribbler to win a
game and carry his team through
many games. If we do eliminate this
type of play. we cut down the spec
tacular, overwhelmingly brilliant man
but we are tickled to death to do this
and substitute team play.
I'VE have gone on record as favor
ing the development of basket ball
along team lines.
The one bounce rule will also save
the game for the type of man now
being lost-the small man. The West
ern Conference is now a 6-foot group
and the little man Is noticeable for his
absence. The 190-pound man with the
dribble couldn't be stopped.
Small men, no matter how clever,
could not bore through defenses, and
as a result in the last four years the
small player lost out. We hope to
bring him back to the plane where he
can be used"

that elimination Of the dribble would
prove a boon to the game, which now

He said the new rule would do
these things for the game:

Virtually eliminate "stalIing" by

Eliminate 20 per cent of the
whistle blowing which now is
caused by double dribbling.
Force coaches to perfect real
plays instead of being merely
bench warmers.
Take a great burden off officials
who have had to decide when a
dribbIe was double and illegal.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, April 13-In view
OF the volume of criticism and sur
prised comment throughout the
country concerning the action of the
joint basket ball rules committee in
eliminating the dribble from the
game. 1t is timely and valuable to
set forth the motives which govern
ed the rules makers to their drastic
attitude.
Primarily ii should be s9'd that
the dribhle was doomed Immediately
the findings of the late basket bail
season were turned in. The only
question was whether it would he
eliminated g once or q process Of
time allowed in which to prepare
the minds of the coaches and players
and fans of the nation.
1t is a fact that about 70 per cent
Of the fouls in basket ball have come
from the practice of dribbling.
Too Much Time Out
Now every one knows that the
great flaw in basket ball has been
the ceaseless calling Of time for
fouls and as the writer recently
pointed out. the one cry of the fans
in recent seasons has been 'let 'em
play"
This is precisely what the rules
committeeman wished to do and
what play under the new rules
that is, only one bounce before the
ball is passed or shot for goal
will bring about.
At the recent meeting of the COM
mittee communication was received
from the head of the Indiana High
School ssociation-Indiana being the
greatest basket ball-playing State i'll
the country-that something had 10
be done about the dribble. and that if
some action were not taken Indiana
would be impelled to act independ-
emily.
DR.. Meanwell of Wisconsin, a coach
who had been able to teach the drib-
bling game as we'll as, if not better
than. any one, came East to the rules
meeting with strong ideas as to the ad-
visibility of doing away with the
dribble, and the writer gathers that
the Princeton representative on the
committee was also in favor of radi-
cal action, albeit Princeton has. al
ways made much of the play.
Basket ball had got to the point
where it was next to impossible to
check a skilled dribbler. In former
years the dribbe was a high bounce
as a man in possession of the ball
came down the floor. but the best
drlbnierS OF To-Day use a very low, IdSt
bounce which enables them to go
down the floor like streaks of light
ming.
Forced to Commit Foul.
The only way the guards could
break up the progress was to commit
a foul, and this was a phase of basket
ball which was not to be tolerated.
The dribble could be used to perfec-
ton as the elimination of a stalling
game, in which the ball would be
passed back and forth until the de-
fense had abandoned it's territory and
had come into the offensive region i'll
an effort to get the ball, whereupon
the lribblers would so into action.
Making his way swiftly down the
floor he would be in unguarded terri
tory in a jiffy and more often than not
get under the basket for an easy try.
Basket ball does not need the drib
bic. Some of the finest teams this
country ever saw have relied exclu-
sively upon a passing game. 1t is ]
