UMPIRE SAYS
SHOCKER IS BEST
A various umpire, w ho, for obvious
reasons, doe.s not wish to be quoted,
was n«ked recently to name tile best
pitcher In the American league. AVItli
out hesitation he named t'rhan
Shocker.
Why St. T.ouls should have let him
pet away Is still a mystery to some
and not the faite«t shadow of a mys
tery to others, who claim to know
that Shocker and Slsler did not get
along well, that Shocker got on less
with the owner of the club, Phil Bail,
and that Shocker ts hoping to get a
chance to pitch In at lea«t one world

Changes Made
in Basket Ball
Playing Rules
(iliange* Include Abolition of
All Zone?. Elimination of
Hand Behind Back
Rule .
By The* AMiK-lated Prew.
NEW YORK, April 11.—Three
radical chances In the basket
hall playing rules were adopted
hy the joint committee of the Y.
M. C. A. and the A. A. l\ and the
National Collegiate Athletic asso
ciation at its annual meeting here
today.
The changes include I he abolition
of all zones, the elimination of tile
hand behind the hark rule In rase
of a jump hall and a provision that
s hall which hits the edge of the
hack hoard will he considered in
play unless il caroms out of hounds.
These alterations were made to
unify- Ihe playing rode and to
standardize the came as played in
the east and west.
The rule makers were confronted
with the task of satisfying all sec
tions of the country In regard to
rule changes. The previous rules ^
had been modified by the western con
ference and the game changed to suit
conveniences in that section. The
Eastern Intercollegiate league also
had taken some liberty with the play
ing code with the result that when
east met west the contending teams
interpreted the rules differently
which confused the officials.
The rule which abolishes the plac
ing of the band behind the back was
modified so that the same result is
obtained. The law makers inserted
a clause in this rule which reads:
"Any use of the hand, not used in
tapping the bail, shall be construed
as a personal foul.’’
The rule abolishing the zones was
supplemented by a rule which
reads: ‘’When a player is routed in
the act of shooting for a goal in
any part of the floor, two free
throws shall be awarded to the
player fouled.” The judgment of
the referee in regard to an infrac
tion of this rule shall be supreme,
the rule makers decreed.
Another isile was changed to
read: "When the ball hits the edge
of the bark hoard and rebounds into
the playing court it shall be in
play." This rule was rewritten to
save time, the rule makers said, as
heretofore a lean lias immediately
been declared out of bounds when
it hit tlie edge of the hark hoard.
Tils word “face" was inserted in
the rule covering the painting of the
back hoard. The former rule made it
mandatory tor a team to paint its
back board white, but teams evade«~* -1
the regulation by painting the back ^
white and leaving the lace its natural
color. I'nder the new rule teams will
he forced to paint the face of the
board white.
Overtime period* in high school
games will be three minutes long in
stead of five. Although this change
takes the form of a suggestion it will
be inserted into the official guide as
a definite rule.
