Question. On basket ball court where

local team to consider the ball In play
under these conditions?
Answer. Yes, the oflciaI rules call for
boundary lines on every court. Bound

basket ball court, regardless of how
small the room. II the room Is so small
that 1t is absolutely impossible to have
boundary lines three feet from thu

the Griffmen with no bally-
hooing and at no expense on
the simple say-so of old Jack
CheSbro, flashed across the base
ball sky in meteoric fashion in
his first full season of profess
sional activity and gave promise
Of landing right up with the
leaders pr0ntO. --..ef.
As will be recalled, Hadley
was stricken with appendicitis
shortly after reaching the
training camp last Spring and
the process Of recuperation was
so long and involved that he
never succeeded in regaining
the form that made him such a
sweet looking prospect the year
of his debut.
The operation Hadley under
went on the eve of the cam
paign is sufficient to explain in
a general way the comparative
ly poor showing he made in his
second as against his first sea-
son, but a more specific reason
may be found by delving into
the records for 1928.
That part of them which deals
with bases on balls discloses that
Hadley was one of the four wild
men, of the league designation
given those of the hurlers guilty of
issuing 100 or more free tickets in
the course CT the campaign-and
that Irving's particular trouble was
urlsteadiness.
Further perusal OF the statistical
data offers corTobornttUe testimony
that control Is the greatest single
asset for success in a pitcher. for it
is more than coincidence that the

Take the case Of Edwin Americas
ROmmel of the Athletics, for in
stance. His feat Of issuing only rs
bases on balls in the course of the
campaign won for him the minimum
distinction among boxmen whose op-
ronents at bat numbered 800 or
more, and he wound up with the
creditable mark of IA wins as against
but five reverses.
Ancient John Picus Quinn, his
teamnate, who was next In line with

appears probable that Dixie Pig A. c.

league lead, will be deadlocked at the
end of league play, as DO h are to meet

A game tomorrow night between
Dixie Pig and Hyattsville Comets, in
the National Guard Armory at Laurel,
will open the weeks program.

encounter.
HyattsviIle High basketers, who were

TN view of the elaborate and
costly preseason activities
i arranged for big league ball
players, it seems odd that no
definite provision should be
made for the physical condi-
tioning of the men who have to
run the ball games.
The athletes are put through
a course of sprouts covering
from six weeks to two months
to loosen muscles and sharpen
batting orbs, and frequently
that period is adjudged INSULT
cient on the basis OF results
achieved early in the regular
season.
Umpires are no more immune
from picking up weight or hav-
ing their vision dimmed by
idleriess than the athletes
probably less so, through their
greater average age-and yet
they are permitted either to
make training for their exact
ing tasks optional as In the
case of the American League,
or are barred from the most eff
fective means of getting Mt

practice games-aS in the Ma
tional League
In prohibiting any arbiter on his
staff from attaching himself TO a
National League camp during the
Spring exhibition season. Presloent
Heydler is said to have been infiu-
enced by the fear that friendships
: formed with the players during the
soiourn in the South might preclude
unbiased rulings when the champion
ship schedule got under way.
This uould seem to brand as er-
roneous the widespread impression
that "umpires hare no friends" and
as Heydler should kn0tr, h1Ufng
once been one of them, the constd-
Grafton attributed to his ban must
be set dotUn as incorrect.
But regardless Of the motive back
of the Heydler ukase, the fact re-
rpains that all National League UNI
nires are prohibited from toiling at
National League training camps, and
while President Barnard Of the
American League has issued no such
ruling, net more than three OF the
dozen en- his staff have been engaged
