KANSAS CITY, Mar. 16.-The
basketball rules-makers are plot
ting again against the big man
and the referees fast whistle.
They're getting a good earful
of gripes against the so-called
"one and one" rule, but don't
count this regulation out when
the official book is reworded here
this week.
Coaches from throughout the
country held a five-hour prelim-
mary screening session here last
night at which these were the
chief topics:
/. The lone and one" rule
which gives a player victim of
a common foul two chances to
make one basket until the last
three minutes of the game when
he gets two shots regardless. The
common foul is one committed
when not in the act of shooting
and which before this season
incurred only one free throw.
2. Widening of the free throw
lane from six to IL feet to meet
Olympic regulations. The pros
also have a 12-foot lane.
! 8. A written directive in the
rule book to officials that they
use judgment in calling fouls
and that they not make call
on a play not affecting the game
or not giving one player an un-
fair advantage.

timent here for interpreting the
rules as well as writing them, -

Basketball is becoming a

Pal Moore Is Dead;
Star Bantdmweight
Of World WarIEr
By the Asseeiatad Press

MEMPHIS, Mar. 16.-Pal
Moore, a top bantamweight
fighter of the years just before
and after World War I, is dead
at So.
Moore was an extremely popu-
lar fighter who boxed the lead
ing men of his division and was
regarded by many as the un-
crowned champion. He went
against champions, ex - cham
pions and title claimants. but
never fought for the title. Many
of his fights were of the no
decision" variety common in his
day.
His real name was Thomas
Wilson Moore and he was born
at Kenton, Tenn, but lived most
of his life in Memphis. His
death yesterday was due to a
stomach ulcer and a severe
asthmatic condition that led to
his retirement from the ring in
1924.
He fought such outstanding
men as Jimmy Wilde, Kid Will
liams, Johnny Ertle, Joe Lynch,
Johnny Buff and Eugene Criqui.
Important Fight With Wilde.
One of his most important
matches was the 20-rounder he
lost to Wilde, the flyweight
champion, in 1919 in London.
Moore had beaten Wilde in the
four-round bantam weight finals
of the Inter Allied tournament
the year before. The decision
was disputed by Wilde's sup
porters, who thought no one
below the featherweight division
could lick their man, so the big
return match was arranged.
The Importance of the match
was shown by the fact that the
Prince of Wales attended, with
Gen. Pershing as one of his
guests. The bout again was a
close one, with Wilde's cleverness
overcoming Moore's greater
hitting power.
Moore met Williams, the ban
tam weight champion from 1914
to 1917, early in his career,
going eight rounds with him in a
non-title, no decision match in
1915. They had another no
decision fight in 1921.
Five Fights With Lynch.
At least five of his bouts were
with Lynch. the bantamweight
king in 1920 and 1922. He beat
Lynch in 1918, and twice in 1920
fought no-deciSion bouts with
him before Lynch took the title
from Pete Herman. Ertle, who
had claimed the title few years
before, was among Moore'S 1918
victims, and he also had no
decision meeting with Ertle the
following year.
Moore continued to skin around
with the top men, always missing
a title chance. In 1919 he
knocked out Criqui, who later
was to win the featherweight
crown from the veteran Johnny
Kilbane. In 1920 he went eight
rounds for no decision against
Buff. The next year Buff took
the title from Herman, who had
won it back from Lynch.
Moore's last big match was a
1O-round draw with Lynch in
1923, and his health forced his
retirement after three bouts the
following year.
