WANT TO SEE STARS

BASKETBALL rules call for
* the removal of a player from
the game for four personal
fouls. Promoters Of pro basketball
insist such a rule is not feasible,
good business for their game.
The owners tell you the fans
want to see the stars in action and
therefore ruling them out of the
game, because Of excessive fouling,
would kill off interest.
In addition they tell you that
such rule would make it necessary
for each team to carry at least
twelve men to be prepared for the
emergencies that Of necessity would
present themselves. The expense
would soon sink the league.
However, the reaction Of the fans
to the first game of the basketball
series was such that the managers
and magnates voted to restore the
personal foul rule to the professional
game, increasing it from four to
five fouls for removal from the
game.
Better basketball is sure to re-
suit with the restoration of the per-
aonal foul rule However, the Off
Gals must mix in a little common
sense and not be too technical, in
order to get the best results from
. the new legislation.

Gene Tunney Steps Four
Rounds in Denver.
Rn Enited PrcaR

BIZ United Press
DENVER, Colo, April 12.-Box-
ing fans of Denver, about $4,000 of
them, today had an idea what Gene
Tunney, worlds champion heavy
weight, was like in the ring.
Tunney stepped four exhibition
rounds Monday night, two with Ed
die Eagen, Denver amateur, and two
with Frank Muske, the champion S
sparring partner.
Although Tunney and his OPP
ponents wore large gloves and
tapped each other lightly, here was
plenty of action and ring-side fans
and critics said the champion
showed real form.
Tunney and his party left Denver
Monday night for Cleveland, where
he is to present another exhibition
match. Later he will go to New
York before making proposed ex-
hibition tour in Europe.

nEEICIAL,S VIEWPOINT

- HAD a very interesting chat
with Joe Carr, president Oh
the professional basketball
league, prior to the opening game
of the basketball world series. He
admitted the foul bugaboo was caus'
ing his league no end of worry.
In the course of our conversation
Carr expressed the belief that rule
similar to the one in vogue III
hockey. penahzing the player VINO
offends by a one or two-minute re-
moval from the game, might make
for less fouling and more action.
That suggestion struck me as a
mighty good enc. With a star sit
ting out two minutes on the bench
because of rough play, it is easy to
imagine the frantic effort the OPP
position would make to take adj
vantage of having five men on the
floor I four of their rivals.
President Carr said he intended to
urge the adoption Of such a rule at
the meeting scheduled to be held a
few hours after 1 talked with him.
Since the league took no action
on the hockey suggestion of penal
izing the players by their removal
from the game, apparently the mag
mates didn't think it would work
out in basketball.

SeCretssfl6. Years. a
Successful Pitching ~
BY GROVER ALEXANDER SN9N SeN8e.
BY GROVER ALEXANDER e"0' -
Veteran Pitcher of Worlds Champions

I should be more like him-more who
love to play the game as he did.
Bancroft, however, is not over
looked. What a phenomenal short
stop he was for us in 1915 when the
Phillies won the pennant! / have
never seen a shortstop get a ball
away quicker than Banny.
1 have to go back to the old-timers
for my left fielder. Jimmy Sheckard
played deeper than the average left
fielder because he was in a class by
himself in coming in for those low
line drives.
I pick Eddie Roush and Max
Carey for center field and don't at
tempt to split them. 1t is remark
able how they get the jump on a
drive and make difficult catches look
| easy.
My favorite for right field is
Frank Schultz, who was the persona
fcation of grace. He was perfect in
form from his shoes to his cap. In
perfect rhythm and timing the only
batter I have seen who is close to
Babe Ruth is Schultz.
Bill Killefer and Bob O'Farrell are
my catchers. l have been extremely
fortunate in being paired with
catchers like them.
1 have stopped with four pitchers:
Matty, Adams, Brown and Rucker.
There have been other great pitch
ers, but their spurts have been short.
RUDE Marquard was a great pitcher,
but only for couple of years.
Those three game fellows who won
that 1914 pennant for the Boston
Bravcs-Bill James, Dick Rudolph
and George Tyler-earned more than
favorable mention, but for pitchers
over long period Matty, Adams,
Brown and Rucker stand out.
While picking a star team is mere
ly a matter of personal opinion,
feel that have selected a nine that
would give a good account Of itself
in either of the major leagues. l
know a lot of major league man.
ayers who would like a team made
up of players of equal ability. AS
a matter of fact, l believe I would
be willing to become a manager If l
could put as strong team into the
! field.
1t is club that is well fortified in
every department of play, boasting
tight defense, plenty of power and
superb pitching.
