by United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, Dee. 8. - Mrs.
Sarah Northcott, mother of the ac-

At Glendale she was taken from

SUNDAY BALL SURE
FOR BOSTON IN 1929
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 28-Boston Is
to have big-league base ball on Sundays
next season. The City Council has vot-
ed unanimously to accept the provisions
of the Statewide referendum, ratified
last November, to permit Sunday sports.
Charges of bribe solicitation, made
by Charles F. Adams, vice president of
the Boston National League base ball
club, are to be investigated.
Adams, who had refused to testify
before the Boston finance commission
concerning statements that an un-
named councillor had solicited bribe
for early action on the sports measure,
is to appear next Wednesday and
| testify.
His change of attitude came after his
attorney had conferred with Judge Ed
ward P. Pierce of the Supreme Court.
The finance commission had threatened
to cite him before the Supreme Court
for contempt for his refusal to recog-
nize its jurisdiction.
The vote on the sports measure in
council came only after a three -hour
| debate in which Adams and Mayor
Malcolm E. Nichols were bitterly at
| tackled. The assault on Adams was
based on his alleged insinuations, while
the mayor was under fire for his pur-
ported attempt to whip the council
into action by means Of a special meet
| ing called last week to take action on
the bill.

BY SOL METZGER.

The Ralph Jones attack, intro
duced at Purdue, is still followed
in Western Conference basket ball
circles. The reason is apparent
when you see the combination long
and-short pass attack develop fol-
lowing the long-hook pass described
in the preceding article.
We start today with the No. l
man receiving the long-hook pass
from his teammate, who secured the
rebound from the blackboard. The
forwards, No. 2 and 3, have broken
free Of their opponent guards and
have started down their respective
sidelines But instead of doing just
that, they begin crossing. AS No.
2 turns in and receives pass from
No. / he quickly shoots the ball to
No. 3, who Is cutting toward him.
No. runs directly in front OF No.
2, each at top speed.
This crossing of each other causes
their guards to become confused.
Neither can follow his man at top
speed, as collisions are likely to re-
suit. Thus, No. 2 and No. 3 get a
fine lead. They then pass back and
forth or one of them dribbles to the
basket for a shot, No. / following
them down the center Of the court.
Sometimes they are blocked from a
shot and driven to a corner.
