COACHES FIGHT
 FOR SET RULES
 IN BASKETBALL
Eastern Mentors Reject New Fan.Shaped Back
 Board
By PAUL sCHEFFELs


 United Press Staff Correspondent,
 New York, April 2e (UP)-Tha basketball brains of the nation-- more than 200 college mentors who compose the National Association of 6asketbaH Coaches-are mapping a campign designed to force the Ma. tional Basketball Rules Comrnittee of the United States and Canada to rescind recent recommendation Tor universal use of a shaped blackboard and nodded rubber ball.
 The Coaches Association, follow. ing its annual conclave, sought sev. eral changes in the game with standardization as the particular goal. The coaches specifically asked for by 4 foot bord, a stitched leather ball of set specifications, a standard floor and definite lighting.
 But for the second successive year. the rules committee, meeting at Kansas City late in March, re- buffed the coaches reccmmenda- tions and substituted amendments of their own which led to the cur- rent controversy.
 Vote Cited in Argument
 H. V. Porter, of Chicago, secre- tary of tine rules committee, said that the fan-shaped blackboard was adopted because of the results of ques oionnairc which listed l,445 ball. lots in its favor and 305 against. Additional arguments now forth coming in favor of the new board, say that It's smaller size will allow spectators seated beyond 1t, better view and also will encourage use of the space between the blackboard and the end line by giving the play CT easier shot access to the basket.
 In an eloquent rebuttal, headed by threat to revolt and form a new rule-making body of their own. the college coaches are now pre- pairing to lock horns with the par ent rule body and force the new rules out of existence.
 Nat Holman, recently-retired president of the association and current coach of City College of New York, and Neil Cohalan, Man hattan College coach, announced that neither of their teams will play on any court next season that has fa-shaped backboards. Opposing Arguments Offered Coaches Clair Bee of Long Island University, oHward Cam of New York University, Ken Loeffler of Yale, Ed Kelleher of Fordham and Holman and Cohalan, are against fan-shaped blackboard because they believe it gives the spectator a poor CT break in vision and definitely hampers the players.
 They point out that the fan- shaped blackboard is made of steel which automatically blots out view and also that 1t offers much poor CT target for shots, both long and playup. The smaller board leads to too many shots missing the basket entirely and thereby results in an exceptional number of outside balls which automatically slow up the game.
 Ned Irish. basketball director of Madison Square Garden, sides with the college coaches and will con- tinue ot use the rectangular glass backboards again next season. Public opinion, acording to Hol- man, made the rules committee re- scind a decision to eliminate the dribble from the game several years ago. Holman and the other coaches hope public opinion will back their stand ir the current debate.

Wood Prefers No. Wood To Long Iron Club;
 Won Masters Tourney With Pet Implement
Cut Shot
 And Fade To Cure His Natural Hook
Fifth of six informative and instructive articles.
 
BY CRAIG WOOD Winner of Masters Tournament and Golf's Foremost Teacher

"uIhhCG VA NA0SbCH6 AVeAA AhhssAhA~AAS
 and Golf's Foremost Teacher
 New York, April 29.-The No. 4 wood, my favorite club, helped me win the Masters Tournament.
 I have more confidence in this implement than have in 8 long iron.
 Four times I scored birdies on the 480-yard, par 5 18th hole of the Augusta National course, twice reaching the green on my second shot with the No. 4 wood.
 I gained five strokes on Byron Nelson on the 18th. The P. G. A. champion took 1, 5 and a pair of es htere in the four rounds.
 This hole is often called the firi- est in America.
 It Is a dog-leg to the left. 1tis played along the course of a brook, requiring the approach shot to be fired round, when had 8 lead of only stroke on Nelson, who tied me at the 63d hole, my No. 4 wood second reached the green of the 485-yard 18th.
 This was one of the best shots made by me in the tournament. Two puts gave me a birdie {. Nell son needed five strokes to can the ball, so I enjoyed a two-stroke ad- vantage.
 Sinking 15-foot putt, after carrying the 18th green with a No. iron, gave me the biggest thrill If f1,n totafy, a y,a ant
 When that putt dropped for a deuce, knew had won. DON'T TURN BODY BACK TO THE BALL QUICKLY
 As I said previously, was @ nat ural hooker when I started. To overcome this, learned to fade the ball and to play cut shot.
 Some players with more natural ability do not bother with these shots.
 To fade c No. { wood, I try to cut across the ball with the face of the clubhead more open.
 In iron play, don't turn the body back to the ball quickly or lift the club too abruptly. The left hant should be under the right ta the tor of the backswing.
 The duffer often starts hitting al the top of the backswing instead oi waiting until the hands are in posi- ton to hit. This deprives him o1 power.
 Turning back to the ball is more of a ltaeral side to side movement
 On long iron shots, I play the ball half way between the feet.
 The swing is shorter than that used for the wood, arms hang straight down from the shoulders. FEET ARE CLOSER TOGETHER AS CLUB BECOMES SHORTER
 As the club used becomes short. CT, my feet are moved closer to. gether. I stand closer to the ball which moves toward hte right foot so when a niblick shot is played the ball Is played off the right foot. The technique of short irons is c bit different than for long shots, but Fundamentals are the same.
 In short iron play, the swing is more upright. The backswing is cu down, hence there IS less pivot. In all iron play, hit the bal crisply.
 Don't baby, or punch the shot.
 Grip the club firmly.
 By all means follow through. NEXT: Recovery shots.

DODGERS DROP DERRINEGR AND
 'JINH OF REDS
Wyatt, KampOvris Twin Heroes of Great 3.2 Win;
 Indians Win Again
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

New York, April 29.-tUP) )-Usu- ally first place in April doesn't mean thing but it meant lot today to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Reason No. 1-The Dodgers vault ed into the National League lead by beating Paul Derringer-big Paul himself of the world champion Cin- cinnati Reds. It was the first time they have beaten Derringer since 1889.
 Reason No. 2.-Whit Wyatt pitched the Dodgers to @ 3-2 victory over the Reds. It was the first time he has been able to lick the westerners since 1889.
 Thus the end of two jinxes put the Dodgers out in front and if they can keep on beating Derringer and Wyatt can keep on beating the Reds 1t may taken a dozen sticks of dy- namite, a carload of nitro-glycerine and battery of 15-inch guns to keep Brooklyn from holding the fort.
 It was a nice game for the Dodg- CTS to win. They won 1t without their big hitters hitting. Alex Ram. pouris, back from the minors and Brooklyn's current second baseman. blasted a homer in the fifth with a mate on base for two Dodger runs. Whit wyatt got an infield hit just beyond sllortstop Eddie Joosts reach which sent the winning tally home in the ninth.
 Derringer had purposely passed catcher Mickey Owen to get to Wyatt with two down in the ninth, but the Dodger pitcher who hadn't hit the ball out of the tnfleld in three previous trips. upset the ap- plecart with his scratch single. Comeback De Luxe
 For Kampouris, 1t was day of sweet revenge. He was cast over- board by the Reds few years ago. He failed with the Giants but found himself with the Newark Bears and came back to the majors this spring. His homer, @ high fly over the right field wall, wiped out the Reds 1-0 lead resulting from Frank McCor- mick's homer. The Reds later tied the score on Ernie Lolnbardfs triple and Eddie Joost's long fly.
 Derringer pitched his best game of the spring, allowing only six hits wyatt also allowed six hits, and Mo- Cormick's homer was the first run of him in 21 consecutive innings. Tt was Brooklyns seventh straight tri- ,imph and 1t put them In first place by .0O6 percentage points over the idle St. Louis Cardinals.
 The Cleveland Indians strength ened their hold on the American League lead by winning their fourtl, straight, a 7-2 victory over the champion Tigers. Al Milnar scat tered six hits. and famed five bat ters. Al Newhouser struck out nine Indians in six innings but was wild. Outfelder Gerald Walker of the Tribe strained his back and retired in the seventh.
 Rookie Jack Hallett won his first major league game by pitching the White Sox to 2-1 victory over St. Louis. He gaveup. il hits but blanked the Browns after the first It was the Browns fourth straight loss by one run.

HOW TO AVOID COMMON
ERRORS.

Fifteen million persons, firms. and
corporations, il is estimated, will
propably file income tax returns
this year. These returns began to
trickle in around January l. Every
return for the calendar year 1910
must be in by midnight of March is.
In order to handle the enormous
volume of work alone entailed of
receiving these returns, the Bureau
OF Internal Revenue has greatly in
creased its staff in its several dis
trict offices. The experience of
former years shows that the Bureau
is always swamped with late re-
turns. If taxpayers viii file their
returns early, they will find that
this will be mutually beneficial to
them and to the Government.
A large number of these returns
contain errors which, If not cor
rected by the audit, would result to
the disadvantage of the taxpayer
Many persons pay in more than the
amount Of the tax due, others fail
to take advantage of the personal
exemption, the credit allowed for
dependents, or deductions from
gross income to which they are en-
titled.
In making out your income tax
return, read carefully and study the
instructions that accompany the
forms on which the tax is COM
puted. If you need more informa-
ton, it may be obtained at the Of
flee of the collector of internal rev.
enue, deputy collector, or an inter
nal revenue agent in charge. When
you visit an internal revenue officer
to get assistance in making out your
return, take copy of your 1895
return with you.
