New Rule Changes

+ KANSAS CITY, Mo. April
/ DECENTRALIZATION of the three
t second rule to give more liberty or
offenSe will be the principal change
IN basketball regulations next year
the national basketball rules COM
mittee OF the United States ano
Canada decided today.
The committee, IN q 14is hour
session. considered many changes.
but made only a few, and they were
minor.
H. Y. Porter of Chicago. secre-
tary. said coaches throughout the
country were agreed on the need
for standardization of equipment
The committee went on record as
favoring replacement of the old
rectangular backboards with fam
shaped boards. and standardization
of the nodded type basketball.
The three second rule was chang
ed to permit an offensive player
with the ball TO operate without
restriction in the outer half of the
free throw circle behind the free
throw line. However, if man pos
sesses the ball for longer than three
seconds in the area from the free
throw line to the end line, the ball
still is to be awarded to the oppo-
nent out of bounds.
Other principal changes provide
for substituting Of players at any
time the ball is dead, including he
time after a field goa. is scored, and
surrender Of the pail immediately
to the nearest official by any player
guilty of a rules infraction.

AUGUSTA. Ga, April /. CUP)-
Get out your sticks, Babe Ruth,
and start swinging 'em, because
you've been challenged.
Speaking from the first fairway
of the Augusta National course,
Just after he had fired a 250-yard
tee shot down the middle, Ty Cobb
today said he would like to meet
the Babe in a series of golf matches.
Maybe we could raise some mon
ey for bundles for Britain or some
other war relief" Ty said. Any
way, it would be a lot of fun. l
have been hankering to take a shot
at the Babe ever since I started
playing golf"
When word of Cobbs willingness
to meet Ruth reached the ears OF
Fred Corcoran, PGA tournament
director, he started running, not
walking, toward the nearest tele-
graph office to issue the Georgian 5
challenge to Babe in New York.
Il don't believe there are two
other men who would draw as
much as Cobb and Ruth" Corcoran
said. There have been 10000 argu-
ments as to which of the two was
the better baseball player, and that
question will be definitely settled
And in recent years, since they
quit baseball, there have been argu-
ments concerning their golfing skill
Now we have a chance to settle
that one"
Corcorna asked Cobb where and
when he would like to meet Ruth.
Anywhere, any time, and for any
charity" the George peach, who
is back in his old home town for
visit, answered.
you just get the Babe and LET
me know where to meet him. They
tell me he is a better golfer than
I am. hear he shoots in the low
70's. Well, that's better than I can
do, except on those rare days when
I sink puts from all over the green,

and John Lanning.
A dog-fight is now IN progress
for the other three positions. Russ
Bauers is a question mark and OF
the six youngsters UP from the MIN

Aldon Wilkie, a SoutnpaW who won
IS and lost fiVu with Seattle last
year; Bill ClenlerSen from Syria

comes from UCLA VIA Beaumont.
Frisch expects to MAKE no decision
here until it is Time to trim his

While the pitching is more or

by Virgil Davis, a veteran from

Baer and his manager, Ancil Hoff-
man. actually turned down a Sep
tember title fight with Joe Louis
yesterday ard demanded instead a
May bout with Billy Conn.
This occurred at Makes camp in
Lakewood, N. j., where Promoter
Mike Jacobs optimistically Offered
Baer a contract for the September
title tilt in case he defeats his fell
low Californian, Nova, in their con-
tenders battle.
Hoffman and Baer told the sur
prised promoter they are not in
terested in a Louis bout-yet, be-
cause the public will demand
Baer-Conn match after Make belts
out Nova Friday night.
Hoffman said, "let Conn prove
that he's a proper opponent for
Louis in the proposed June fight
by beating Make in early May.
Make and Conn will draw a lot
of money outdoors. Make will knock
him out easily and then draw an
other million dollar gate with Loui
in late June-like they did back in
1885,"
Unfortunately for Jacobs, Hoff-
man and Baer can take their time
in signing for Louis since they are
one of the rare combinations who

Color and Lighting
Effects Help Make
Homes Attractive
New York Decorator
Gives Good Example
In Restaurant Here
By MARGARET NOVEL;.

Color has a remarkable psyche
logical effect on all of us. 1t has
more to do with our happiness and
peace of mind than most OF us
realize. Lovely color, combined with
comfort in the way of good food
and warmth, is an engraved lnVl-
tation to contentment.
Industrial designers have recog-
nized this fact for some time but
homemakers, though they are do
ing very we'll with color, have not
vet recognized the possibilities OF
proper lighting,
A case in point Is a clever new
restaurant opened this last week in
town. Its interior has been planned
and executed by Miss Bertha Schae-
fer of New York, in collaboration
with Abe FEEDER, who is known for
his lighting of several stage pro-
ductions. The dramatic effect Of
lighting as it is used on the stage,
combined with the soft pinkS and
deep reds, makes flattering COM
bination that is going to be very
difficult to resist and should result
In a most successful future for the
restaurant.
Miss Schaefer has cleverly COM
bined the Federal and Williams
burg motif in her wall decorations,
including two very interesting wall
papers and the colors of the period
with the last word in modern tech
niuue. The palest ash blond wood
Is used for the modern chairs up
holstered in leather of dusty pink
and soft blues.
Carpet in the blond tone exactly
matches the chair frames in a wide
area border around the room and
up the stairs to the meZZanine with
the center panel of the horizon blue.
Ceiling lines are cleverly broken by
interesting panels of lattice which
conceal the light source and form
brilliant spots of decoration at the
same time.
These color and lighting effects
are most restful to the eyes and
most fiattering to the complexion.
In a modified form both theories
could be incorporated into our home
with telling effect. Rooms lighted
for quiet conversation or relaxation
would be quite different from the
one lighted for stimulating repartee
or political discussion.
Miss Schaefer says: 'Too few
home makers realize that the light
ing of the home may be a strong
factor in smoothing out irrita-
tions and in keeping balance be-
tween conflicting personalities, in
short, in creating setting of un-
failing harmony and peace. Just
now such effort may be real
morale builder"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. - The
topic of conversation among
American women today was:
what are we ever going to
do without silk stockings"
Fear that the average woman
would attempt 10 solve her own
problem by rushing to the nearest
store for a half-dozen or dozen
pairs of hose led the Office OF
Production Management to issue
an appeal against boarding.
AS department stores in Wash
ington and other eastern cities
reported sharply increased hosiery
sales. Associate Price Control Ad-
ministrator Harriet Elliott an
nounced:
"In the interests OF fair play,
am asking all consumers TO
ration voluntarily their hosiery
puithaNtS--tHht ~ w DuN OuiN
for current use-in order to give
those consumers with limited
incomes an opportunity to share
In the available supply"
That the silk stock situation
has reached critical stage was
demonstrated through the issuance
of an order by the OPM directing
mills TO cease all silk goods manu-
facture by midnight tonight.
Miss Elliott warned women
against paying higher prices.
"Such price rises are attempts
