- NEW YORK, Aug /. tUP)-It
was bitterly cold that winter when
!. Dr Gulick. head of the department
,sof physical education at Spring
field college. asked a young instruc-
tor TO invent an indoor game.
Il think If should eliminate phys
ical contact" he said. but should
require a high degree of skill and
speed"
DR. James A. Naismith nodded.
: A few dars later he hung two peach
baskets at each end of the gymnas-
ium.
Basketball was born then and
there
,. Today 1t is announced that
temple OF basketball will be built
at Springfield, Mass, 10 commem-
crate the idea that the kindly, gray
haired man conceived so years ago
This year marks the golden jubilee
OF basketball-a game that spread
out of Springfield to every state
and hamlet in the nation and
changed the course of sports in
the country.
There have been changes and
notifications in the rules and most
of them have tended to speed up
the game, but the basic idea con-
ceived by the late DR.. r.Neismith-
the throwing Of ball into a bas-
ket-remains the basis of the game,
It must have been a curious sight
when the first basketball team
took the floor in Springfield. II
consisted OF nine men attired in
turtle-neck sweaters. long trousers
and flat -heeled shoes Most OF them
wore mustaches.
Even though the first game was
a crude affair, Naismith thought
he had the essence OF a good, exact
ing sport. He was right beyond his
widest dreams. Refinements in the
game such as the dribble. the pivot,
the five-man defense came late.
and helped spread the game.
Ask anyone what sport attracts
the largest number of spectators
each season and they-thinking OF
the vast crowds that assemble on
Saturday afternoons in college stad-
iums-will almost invariably say
college football. Or, if not that,
they will say baseball.
Neither is correct. Basketball
draws the largest crowds over the
nation and over a seasons time.
Conservative estimates are that 90
600, 900 persons witness basketball
games each year.
Certain sections OF the country
are more enthusiastic about bas-
p ketball than others, but there is
no part of the nation where the
game isn't known and played. In
diana is one of the hot spots OF
basketball and the annual high
school tournament in that state
ranks as one of the great sports
events of the middle west.

NEW YORK. Aug. l tUP)-Man-
ager Leo Durocher's cries for help
ror the staggering Brooklyn Dodg-
arS were answered today and three
1ew players reported to the Flat
bush forces in Chicago They were
Johnny Allen, 36-year-old right
handler waived out of the American
league, Tom Tatum, right handed
hitting outfielder, and Tom Drake.
right-handed pitcher Tatm and
Drake come from the Nashville
Southern Association club.
What help Allen, Tatum and
Drake may be for the Dodgers,
whove lost six out of nine on their
western trip and slumped from a
4-game lead to fall two games be-
hind the Cardinals in 16 days re-
mains to be seen. Allen, bought
from the Browns for a reported
$4,000, will soon get his chance
to give the herky- jerky Dodger
pitching staff some help. He pitches
against the Cubs today. AS for
Tatum and Drake, they can't do
much more than some other Dodg-
ers have been doing lately.
THREE PER GAME
In the last IL games Durocher
has used 35 pitchers, an average OF
more than three per game. Not
a single Dodger pitcher has gorV
the route and won since Luke Ham
lin beat the Cubs July Is. Whit
wyatt has failed in his last four
starts and Kirby Higbe in his last
three These are the two guys who
were supposed to pitch Brooklyn
to the pennant.
To make room for the new play
erS the Dodgers released Vito Ia
mulis. Southpaw. to Nashville out
right and sent Catcher Angelo Giu-
liani to Montreal on option. Giuliani
protested bitterly to Manager Larry
MacPhail over his demotion to the
minors. One more player has to be
released today and indications were
that relief pitcher Mace Brown
would get the gate.
MacPhail had to go high to get
Tatum and Drake from Nashville.
Tatum, who's %, is hitting 1865 and
leads the southern loop in stolen
bases with 25. He formerly belonged
to the Tigers but was cut adrift
by Commissioner Lands in the
wholesale purge of Detroit farm
hands in 1899. Drake, who's won
10 and lost four, has had previous
trials with the Indians.
GRUDGE BATTLES
The Dodgers will face three grudge
battles during their Chicago series.
Jimmy Wilson, Cubs pilot,h as mad
on at Brooklyn because oftheir
protest over the "26th player in
an earlier series which cost the
Cubs a $500 fine. Wilson has saved
Claude Passeau and Vern Olsen,
his two aces, especially for the
Dodgers, withholding them purpose
ly from the Philly series.
1t took ancient Freddy Fitzsim-
mons to pull the Dodgers out OF
their slump yesterday when they
beat the Cardinals, 9-5, and re-
duced st. Louis lead to two games.
After Whit Wyatt had been knock
ed out and Kemp Wicker relieved
for a pinch-hitter, Fitzsimmons
came on and held the hard-hitting
Red Birds to three hits in six
innings for his fourth win. The
big punch was supplied by Jimmy
Wasdell who hit homer with two
mates on base. Lew Riggs and
Dolf Camilli (No. 49, also hit hom-
ers.
