Two field goals by Buss Male gave
Virginia a AZ lead in the opening
minutes Of the court tussle, but the
edge was short lived. With Bernie
Buscher acting as key man in the
attack, the Terps poured in a flock

Andorka, Norwood Southoron and Vic
Willis brought the score to 1877. Then
Maryland coasted, and the half
ended, % to 13.
Willis, a youngster standing 4
inches over feet, played a prominent
part In enabling Maryland to gain its
commanding lead, but it was in the
second half that he really looked the
part OF great pivot-man. Time and
again Willis and Al Waters, in the

broke up passes and passed their way

Hubert Fathers League

VTIILLIAM A. HUBERT of Chi
w cago was the father of the
National League. In 1875 he
saw the need of an organization to
replace the Professional Association
of Base Ball Players, which had
fallen into disrepute because of the
predominance Of the gambling ele-
ment.
So, SO years ago today, representa-
tives of Philadelphia, Boston, New
York, Cincinnati, Chicago, Hartford,
Louisville and st. Louis gathered
here. adopted a constitution drawn
up by Hubert and the late A. G..
Spalding, elected Morgan G. Bulke-
ley, later to become Governor of Con-
necticut, president, and launched out.
The constitution completely
changed the entire base ball set-up.
The league became an association Of
clubs instead Of an association Of
players. A form Of players contract
was conceived to prevent the clubs
from robbing one another.
Chicago, managed by A. G. Spald-
ing, won the first pennant with 50
victories and IA defeats. st. Louis
was runner-up. Chicago and New
York each has won 13 championships,
topping the list. Boston has captured
nine pennants.
The mighty Adrian Pop) Anson,
one of the old-time hitting greats,
played in the infield for the cham
pions, and they also boasted the first
National League batting king-Roscoe
Barnes, who pounded the pellet for a
mark of .403.
1t is a coincidence that Cincinnati,
which begins the 1885 season on the
bottom. was the Nationals first cellar
champion. The old Reds won only
nine games that first season while
dropping 56.

LOOP ORGANIZED

Charter Clubs Never to

BY EDDIE BRETT,


n YEW YORK, February 2.-The
nj National League, Oldest Of the
Y country's base ball circuits
was SO years old today, with
record of not having missed a
championship season since it came
into being here, February 2, 1876.
Organized primarily to purge base
ball of the gambling evil, the league
had rough shedding for many years,
but by holding fast to its guiding
principle-honest sport-finally sue
ceeded in routing the gamblers and
other disturbing elements and forged
to the front as the premier base ball
league Of the time.
The Chicago and Boston clubs are
the only charter members which have
held franchises uninterruptedly dur
ing its entire existence.
The original membership consisted
Of eight clubs. During the 90s the
league was expanded to IL. This
proved too cumbersome; there were
too many second division teams. In
1900 four cities, Cleveland, Baltimore,
Louisville and Washington, were
dropped. There have been no changes
since among the eight clubs now COM
posing the circuit.

Holman Has a Solution.

DUT that "by him" is the joker.
n Nat Holman, coach of City
College of New"York and an all

gests one of the better ways to solve
this problem would be to make it q
technical violation (as travelling, dou-
BILE dribble, etc. for the bucket man
to move backward inside the free

His point is that the defense would
be willing to play the pivot man
cleanly as long as he stays that far
out from the basket Q.e., the free
throw line) but that it's the tendency

Interseconal Basket Ball Battles Sho,u Rulings Differ
Materially Particularly Pick-Of and Piuot Plays
Nifty Midwest Maneuver
Called infringement in
Eastern Sector.
BY John STAIR.

"A YEW YORK, February 2.-Pick-
M offs, pivots and tip-offs!
With college basket ball this
Winter making its boldest bid
for recognition as medium Of inter-
sectional sporting warfare, these three
elements are found to be the greatest
trouble makers in, respectively, these
sections: East, Midwest-and-South,
and Pacific Coast.
Basket balls debut as a big-time at
traction at Madison Square Garden
here, headlined by New York us
games against Notre Dame and Ken
tucky-which set respective all-time
attendance records of 16,100 and 49,
500-brought into sharp focus some
differences in rules interpretations
heretofore suspected but not clearly
defined.
AS a result a number of coaches
have been quick to eSpouSe more in
tersectional play-even advocating a
national tournament-as means Of
eliminating sectional differences.
interviewing of coaches and OBJ
servers in various sections brought out
strongly that the chief points of
divergence-between East and Mid
west-were on the screen play and
the pivot play. The treatment Of each
is diametricaly opposite in these two
sections.

Reds Thrown Out.

4 FEW years later the Reds were
~ expelled from the league for fail
ure to pay their dues. However
while playing independently, they went
through a season undefeated, devel-
oped Cincinnati into a base ball
stronghold and were forgiven their
sins and invited back into the parent
organization.
During the first Is years OF the
early-day National League, there were
many changes in the circuits make
up. Besides the four teams dropped
in 1900, the following cities were rep
resented at one time or another, most
of them for only one season each:
Hartford, Indianapolis, Milwaukee
Providence, Buffalo, Syracuse, Troy
Worcester and Kansas City.
Life for the league during those
hectic days was just one war after
another. It survived no less than five
major embroglios. losing only one, that
to the up and coming young American
League-in 1901.
Before running into Ban johnson
and his fellow tartars, the Nationals
had subdued effectively the Union AS
sociation in 1884, the Base Ball Broth
erhood in 1890 and earned a draw
with the American Association after
prolonged skirmishes over property
rights and differences with players.

Reminds of "Short- Pass Attack.

r EFT US have a look at Cd the
l. screen play (also variously
known as the legal block" the
sliding block and the "pick-off):
In the East, this play is interpreted
as strictly illegal. Coaches and Off
cials reduce to as simple terms as
possible their stand by saying "the
only time a player may commit a
legal screen is in his actual handling
of the ball" (This gets back to the
original "short-pass" attack wherein
a team moved down the floor on a
series of "handlings" of the ball from
one player to another who was break
ing past)
In the Midwest a well-executed
screen playa species of animated
chess whereby. after some quick pass
ing, Player A finds clear path to the
basket because a teammate is stand
ing in the way" of Player AS oppo-
nent-is warmly applauded as good
basket ball"
The Midwestern premise of a legal"
block is that any player is entitled to
any particular square foot of floor
space he wishes to occupy, If he gets
there first! But it becomes Illegal
in any league-when the blocker has
to shift his position, even slightly, in
order to pick of the defensive man.

American League Invades.

TINE league had many ups and

American League was the only
real reverse of its stormy early exist
ence. Deciding to expand, the Ameri-
can asked permission to occupy peace
fully several National League cities.
Denied this, the American went ahead,
firmly established itself in Baltimore,
Washington, then unoccupied, and in
yaded Boston and Philadelphia.
There was no question who was win
ming the scrap. The National League
elected Harry c. Pulliam president,
and hung out the olive branch. A
truce was agreed to and the two lea
CUES have worked in harmony since.
In 1s14-15 they stood back-to-back

. EARLY FIRST TIME
Heinie Hit .34S Last Year
Despite Hurt-Judge Apt

BY JOHN B. KELLER.


rs been cold down South, but the
weather must be moderating
around Palm Beach way. Some
thing has happened to mellow
Heinie Manush, star clouter and out
fielder of the Nationals. His signed
contract now is filed at club head
quarters here and never before has
the big Dutchman signed before
reaching training camp.
The paper bearing the signature
reached here late yesterday from
Palm Beach where Heinie spends his
Winters, sometimes basking in the
subtropical sun but recently Shiver-
ing in a tissue-paper house never
built to protect one from the rigors
of chilly weather.
There's no word here about it, but
perhaps Clark Griffith, the Nationals
president, who is resorting at Miami,
got Heinie in line so early with little
urging over the telephone. Griffith
has a way with him when 1t comes
to dickering with his star players.
And Heinie is the biggest star in the
Nationals cluster. His was the main
punch of the club last year and one of
the best in the American League,
The big Dutchman batted for cool
.349, a mark topped only by Lou
Gehrig of the Yanks and Charley
Gehringer of the champion Tigers.
ManuSh swung so well that he
beat out such noted sluggers as Al
Simmons of the Chisox, Joe Vosmik
of the Indians, Hank Greenberg of
the Tigers and Jimmy Foxx of the AS.
And he did that despite a leg injury
that handicapped him greatly the
last two months of the campaign.

lNl will induce other top-flight
Nationals to get in line for this
years battling in jig time. 1t also
probably means that something above
last years salary was added to the
big Dutchmans contract, although
nothing about raise comes from the
Washington clubs headquarters.
Heretofore, Manush always has
been among the last of the Wash
ington players to accept terms. Up to
this time, Heinie always waited until
reaching training camp-and he never
has been in hurry to report for he
deteSts the conditioning grind-to talk
over affairs with Griffith. Usually
several conferences with the boss were
held before the big Dutchman got
down on the dotted line.
Manush is the fourth of the clubs
big shots to ship his signed contract
to headquarters here. Others who
got the jump on him are Monte
Weaver, the strictly vegetable eating
pitcher; Cliff Bolton, slated to be the
clubs flrst-string catcher, and Fred
Schultz, veteran outflelder.
With ManuSh accounted for, the
Nationals now have the making of
a f1rst-clasS outfield even though Jack
Stone, right field member Of the gar
den patrol last year. has yet to be
heard from.
Al Powell and Fred Sington, SPAR
klers of the International League OUT
field crop, have had their contracts
reposing in the safe at the Georgia
avenue Office for months and either
of these would fill in nicely an outfield
already including Schultz and Manush.
Knowing this, Stone may be ex-
pected to ship his signed paper almost
any day now.
