By BOB THAYER

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April
2.-It was Goose Goslin day In
camp today. : Speeding en- route
here in Clark Griffith's automo-
bile, personally chauffeured by
Assistant Trainer Frankie Baxter.
his Salem majesty put in an ap-
pearance before noon.
Dapper and apparently com
posed, the Goose had scarcely
greeted q few comrades before he
was hauled into conference by
Griffith.
Goslin arrived in Atlanta, Ga.
at 5 o'clock this morning. he
was met there by Baxter ana
made good time on the last lap
Of his journey.
Griffith's relief at the sight
of ; his slugger was pro-
nOunced. Taking no chances
Of having him interviewed, ne
Immediately went behlnd
closed doors with the Goose.
Griff insisted that one confer
ence, and a brief one, would
definitely bring to an end MS
salary controversy with GoSlin-
one way or the other.
He also declared that the terms
arranged between himself ard
Goslin would be kept secret. al.
though Griff has claimed all
along that he win not boost the
$4,000 straight salary guarantee
offered Goslin, what terms are
actually agreed upon-f any
will probably never be known.
Before coming here Goslin had
his expenses guaranteed both
ways, which is strong indication
that he is not at all confident
he will come to an agreement.
Pitcher Herb Pyle, former Look
out pitcher, brought up by WASH
ington in the draft last winter,
viii remain behind to work out
with the Chattanooga club when
the Griffs start northwaro next
week.
Pyle has been bothered all
spring by neuritis. And 1t Is
believed he can get in more
beneficial conditioning hcks
here.
pyle remains the property OF
the Washington club until April
80. But. unless he RECEIVERS from
his present illness, he has little
chance of making the big show
Fred Marberry and Don Sav
idge will pitch today when the
Griffs and Lookouts conclude
their spring exhibition set here.
The washington club checks
out for Birmingham tomorrow
morning.
There, the Barons are to be
met Friday and Saturday. hd
Liska may be called upon to work
q nine-inning turn In one Of these
games.
Carlos Moore, ex-Baron, wants
another part-time shift against
the Birmingham club. His ol6
friends knocked him from pillar
TO post r6CcuCly.
Jake Powell has been swing
ing an AL B0ol model bat.
Fred MaFberry thinks it's too
heavy for Powell and that q
change would be beneficial.
Consequently some new fails
have been ordered for the
ex.WashingtOn sandIotter.
Since contracting cold, Man
ager Walter johnson has beer
unable to toe the slab in hitting

SCHMELINC IS
GIVEN ORDERS
N. Y. Commission Says
He Must Sign To
Fight Sharkey

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l-tP-The
New York state athletic commission
seems to have paved the way for
the staging of a heavyweight cham
pionship fight in Chicago. Whether
that proves to be the case depends
upon Max Schmeling. the title
holder, and his manager, Joe JAG
obs.
Taking the bull by the horns.
the commission yesterday ordered
Schmeling. through Jacobs, 10 agree
within seven days to defend his title
against Jack Sharkey here in June
or else face forfeiture Of the cham
pionship in this state.
The next move is Up to tie Teuton
slugger ana his manager. They
may decide to ignore the commits
sion edict. and accept. instead, an
offer Of 100000 for a championship
match at Chicago with w. L.
CYoungl Stribling in the challeng-
ing role. More than a few boxing
critics believe Stribling has a better
right TO a crack at the title than
Sharkey.
The commissions action. however.
was highly consistent II nothing
else. The boxing solons have main
tanned from the start that Schmel-
ing should abide by his promise to
meet Sharkev in a return bout for
the title. Something's promise was
made after he had won heavyweight
Championship recognition by win
ming on a foul from Sharkey in a
highly unsatisfactory bout here last
summer.

Basketball Coach. Indiana Il.

Basketball fans should have a fair
knowledge Of the rules in order TO
enjoy the game fully in this ar
ticle important rule changes for
1881 viii be discussed and 1t might
be well for those who like their bas-
ketball to cut out the rules and
study them occasionally during the
season.
Rule T.. Section "a new note
states that held ball may be called
when a player holds the ball for five
seconds In the backcourt II an op-
ponent Is within one yard Of him
during this time. In other words.
under these conditions a closely
guarded player is Withholding the
ball from play. This viii encourage
aggressive playing and discourage
stalling.
Rule 8. Section Con any lump
ball. the ball may be tapped twice,
but not more than twice, by either
one or both of the jumpers. and the
second tap may be made either in
side or outside the circle. After a
player has tapped the ball . second
time, he may rot touch 1t again IN
I'll 1t has touched one OF the other
eight players. the floor, the basket
or the blackboard.
Rule II. Section 1,-When time
Is taken out for a personal foul, time
Is to be resumed when the ball leaves
the free thrower-s hands-when It
leaves his hands for the last free
throw II more than one free throw
has been awarded. On free throws
from technical fouls or double fouls
when the ball returns to center
whether the free throw is made or
missed, time Is resumed with the
toss at center. as formerly.
Rule Il. Section 8.-The rule
against kicking the ball applies only
to a positive act. Although it is diff
ficult sometimes to distinguish be-
tween intentional acts and those
that are accidental. IL is better to
have the officials guess incorrectly
now and then On this play than to
have the constant and unnecessary
in~terrutions in the game caused By
calling a violation every time the
ball and foot come together.
