TIED FOOTBALL GAME BANE TO PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS
Ruor Sous Red Sox May Trade RueI to Cleveland Indian
Hold Everything
By JOE HOLMAN l

Dissatisfied with the erratic rul-
ings. would-be deSpotism and con-
Trajectory moves of the District
Chapter Of the Amateur Athletic
Union, Bill Flester. organizer and
president of the 1880 Washington
Basketball League, is preparing to
reorganize that circuit.
Bills slogan basketball for
everybody" met with a popular
response last February when, on
the shortest possible notice. six
teams banded together and fol-
lowed through with one Of the
most sensational and hardest
fought races in Washington's his
tory.
FIester Active
Having more time to mobilize
entries this season Flester. in his
own quiet way, Is going about the
task Of lining up some formida-
BILE teams. Therefore, unless the
A. A. u. shows more leniency in
its activities, the independent fac
tionS likely will be operating
under Flester's sanction within a
fortnight.
The local amateur body
could eliminate this brand Of
opposition, IL it so desired, By
limiting its restrictions to
Community Center League
and South Atlantic tourney
competition. AS it stands
those wishing to play basket
bali locally are forced to sub
scribe to A. A. u. principles
or else form clique Of their
own.
Flester'S present plans are to
stage an organization meeting in
Howard A. French's Sports Store
next week, probably Wednesday
night. At that time plans for
launching activity Immediately
will be discussed and closed.
Hair.Iine Distinction
An open field locally, save for
special events staged by the Dis
trict amateur body, would un-
doubtedly react favorably toward
WaShington's basketball situation.
Also it would create a better I'm
derStanding between the rival fac
tions and likely would eventually
figure in q larger enrolment for
the annual South Atlantic tourna-
ment sponsored by the A. A. U.
The hair-Iine distinction :.
drawn between profession.
ais" and amateurs by the Dis
trict body is, in many cases,
amusing. Joe Sweeney,
Skinker forward, for instance,
is termed a professional be-
cause he represents the Mo
hawks, a semi-pro football
organization.
On the other hand, many regis
tered District A. A. U. players who
oppose Sweeney in football or wAo
have participated with out-and-out
professionals in independent base
ball games are permitted to
operate under union sanction and
are automatically separated in
basketball from those they are al
lowed to stack up against in other
sports.

COLLINS
NEEDS YOUNG
BLOOD

NEW YORK, Dec. a. With
talk Of the Yuletide spirit and
sweet charity filling the air,
owners Of the stronger American
League clubs should do some
thing to help out the Boston
Red Sox before the start OF
another season rolls around.

Collins is the man. The former

Need Young Players
A report has been going
the rounds that Catcher
HerOId Muddy" Ruel, whom
the Red SOx obtained from
Washington, may be used In
trade with Cleveland.
The acquisition Of Ruel had
been interpreted as the clubs de
sire to have q capable and veteran
substitute on hand in case Col
Inns fails to deliver.
It has also been pointed Out
that If the club desired q catcher
the Red Sox would have secured
a younger backstop instead Of

 Gandhi is confined in the Yeroda prson close to Poona In 1923 and 1924 he also occupied a cell there.
 From the outside the prison has the appearance of an old-time fort. HuGe grey stone walls about thirty feet high, pierced by gigantic iron gatoways, surround the edificc. The grounds, beautiful with flowers and fruit trees. are divided into sections for Europeans and natives.
 Gandhi Given Fayors
 Gandhi occupies quarters in th" European section. That is cut off from the rest Of the prison and grounds by a separate T foot hiCn wall Running through inc flowers. trees. and picturesque walks, art two long barracks Of twenty cells each.
 High windows and grilIed door insure ventilation. There are yer andas on both sides of the cells, which arc sparsely furnished.
