PRO BASKETBALL LEAGUE DIVIDED Philadelphia. Pa.. July 11—At a meeting of the American Basketball league heads here Tuesday, several radical changes were tentatively adopted In schedule ami salary limits of the circuit. President Carr and representatives from every city in the league looked favorably on the suggestion to adopt a team salaty limit of 12.000 a month i Previously no limit had been put on i the purse strings and it is understood I that the pay checks of the New York Celtics ran as high as SIIO,OOO for the season. Another change adopted by the members was the dividing of the circuit into an eastern and western division Each section Is to have a personnel of six clubs. Unlike the past winter, however, there will be no meeting of western and eastern teams during the season. A champion in each section will be selected and they will meet in a post-season world’s series. It was felt that this innovation i would cut down the . disasterous traveling expenses which almost i wrecked the league last winter. Many applications have been receiv- - ed for the vacancies in the two cir- . cults but President Carr will reserve , action on the appeals until further in- i vestigation. Philadelphia is the only team which is not sure of being in the league when the season rolls around. President Carr reported a substantial balance in the league’s treasury and predicted a banner year for the organization. Many of the represent- . stives were particularly enthusiastic 1 over the coming winter season. Those who attended the confab were George Halas, Chicago Bears; Max Rosenblum and I. S. Rose. Cleve- . land Rosenblums; Clarence Alter. ; Fort Wayne Hoosiers; John Whittey, New York Celtics: Jules Aronson. Philadelphia Warriors. John Murphy, Rochester Centrals, and Edward , Wilde and George Marshall, Brooklyn Visitations. Another meeting will be held August 1 to adopt a schedule.

July 11—(INS)-—In an effort to clear up misuuderetandings that exist relative to trot or set lines and trolling lines, George N. Maunfield. superintendent of the fish and game division of the conservation department, has attempted to explain the difference between the two. A trot or set line is one that is fastened ’to some object on the bank or in the water. Under Indiana law only one such line may be used by one person in any Indiana stream and they are prohibited entirely in lakes. Such a line may have 50 hooks on It. but the books shall not be less than one-half inch from point to shank. A throw line Is not a trot line unless it is tied to some object, in which case it becomes a set line. There is no limit to the number of throw lines a person may use, provided that he’ be there to attend them in the same manner as if fishing with a rod and reel. The object in restricting a single individual to one trot line Is that "like money, it works and adds Interest white you sleep.” according to Mannfield. Trolling in motor boats is lawful in Indiana. Mannfield also declared.

TEAMS ABE "SEEING RED" By Les Conklin. INS Staff Correspondent New York. July 11.—Six National league clubs are “seeing red” today. ■ for two teams sporting crimson garb | are leading the pack with the jump I of the Cincinnati Reds to second place. The Reds’ winning streak of ; seven games has put them ahead of; the New York Giants while the St. i louis Red Birds, 4X4 games ahead of! Cincinnati, have dropped only one! game to the eastern invaders during ; their present home stand. All the eastern teams except Brooklyn are being taken to the cleaner’s } with neatness and dispatch by the western outfits. And an even break is the best the Dodgers have been able I to get. Home runs are keeping the Card- ■ inals in front. The club leads the league in thirf specialty with a total of 67 for the season, fourteen more , than the Giants and sixteen more j than the Cubs. Four circuit clouts—two by High, a substitute, and one apiece by Hafey and Harper—and a , five-hit performance by Spittin’ Clarence Mitchell gave the Cards a 5 to 1 win over the Giants yesterday. When the Reds jeered at the horrible fielding of the Brooklyn players, i Pitcher Buzz McWeeney lost both his control and his self-control and tried > to, beat up the whole Brooklyn team. ! He was led off the field mumbling the alphabet backwards. Meanwhile Pete Donohue finally got a good game out I of his system and the Reds breezed home to a 12 to 4 victory. o Watching The Scoreboard (By United Press) Yesterday’s Hero: Milton Gaston, Washington Senator pitcher who shut out the Cleveland Indians 9 to 0 in the second game of a twin bill. The Senators won the first game 9 to 5. Heavy hitting gave the St. Louis Browns a 4 to 2 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Cincinnati Reds beat the Brooklyn Robins 12 to 4. It was Cincinnati’s sevent straight victory and placed them in second place. i The Pittsburgh Pirates won their i fourth straight game by beating the i Phillies 6 to 5. ’ The St. Louis Cardinals increased ? their lead to 5X4 games by defeating I the New York Giants 5 to 1. The i Giants dropped to thin! place. v s Rogers Hornsy’s home run in the s ninth tied the score, but the Chicago ? Cubs scored in their half to beat the r Boston Braves 7 to 6. 1 a—- — the Habit—Trace at Homs, it Pays
