f=T IURING the furore caused H j by tho opening of the baseI a ~“' J ball season something has been overlooked which is of much interest to Hooslerdom. At the meeting of the basketball rules committee in New York, the second week in April, some changes were made In the playing code. They are minor changes, but good ones, which clear up some points that been spoken of in this column before. Two of them have to do with “time out,” and are as follows: “In case of an injury to a player of the team not in possession of the ball, the whistle will be withheld until the completion of the play.” “Time out for a substitution or any other purpose will not be allowed after the ball lias been placed on the line for a free throw.” In the first rule “completion of the play” was defined as the time w r hen the ball passes out of bounds, goes Into possession of the opposing team, or after a try for a field goal. This rule undoubtedly was made to circumvent the “slickers” who feigned injury when it looked as though the opponents were going to score. The second change was made to discourage the practice of calling “time out” to worry the player in the act of shooting a foul goal. The third change is as follows: “Jumping centers will be permitted to stand outside the center circle, providing one foot is touching tin* circumference. A diameter will lie drawn within the circle, parallel to the end lines, and centers must not encroach on opponents’ territory on the opposite side of the line.” This is another very good rule. Some such change has been advocated from time to time in this State. Usually suggestions called for making the center circle larger. The new regulation apparently takes aire of the boys with big feet, who found it difficult to get into the little circle, and those who intentionally crowded an opponent, ' * * * Sr— IVM1 VM WERNEKE. who is pitching for St. Paul in the U __J Association this year, is a product of the local sandlots. His home is 1138 S. Richland St., ih West Indianapolis. All of “W. I.” is watching what Sam does with eagle eyes. Unpleasant news was in store for them today as the local hurler was knocked out of the box by Louisville in a big second-in-ning rally on Friday. Werneke had a good year in 1825 in the Michigan-Ontario League, where he won twenty-one games and lost eleven for the Hamilton Club. He was fourth in the average as to earned runs per game with a percentage of 2.88. Hamilton won the first half of a split season which ended on July 8, but was second to London, Ont., in the second half. London won the play-off between the two clubs, four games to three. The Yankees purchased Werneke last winter and he was later transferred to St. Paul. * * * OWO Hoosler Big Ten baseball teams were in action today. Indiana U. was at Columbus, Ohio, to take on Ohio State while Purdue entertained the Michigan club at Lafayette. Coach Lambert hoped to greet the Wolverines with a salvo of base hits. Coach Dean of I. U. planned to make the Buckeyes “see red,” with plenty of Crimson runners scampering around the liases. * * * The officials of the Indianapolis saMdlottcrs have been unusually active this year in lining up teams and preparing for a great season. It is to be hoped that their efforts will lie rewarded by a summer of tine sport oil tlie local diamonds. Like everything else, baseball needs correct supervision. It is pleasing to note the number of Junior teams enrolled in the association. The youths have a better chance to get started right if the clubs can be held under a central controlling body. The youngsters may not become second Cobbs or Ruths or Johnsons, hut the environment of the diamond is surely to he preferred to that of the poolroom. Officials at the ltead of the amateur sport have a real responsibility and are doing a splendid service to tlie community. * * * P" "IREDHOT sport feature is on I A 1 tap tonight at 9:30 over the I •**•! air. Tune in on WGN, Chicago, 302.8 meters, and you will hear a “ringside” description of the Corbeft-Fitzsimmons prize fight of long ago. This is one of a series of “oldtime prize tights” being broadcast at 9:30 every Saturday night. Last Saturday the Sulllvan-Cor-bett fight was reproduced. The Chicago station has made extensive research into files of old newspapers and has had the assistance of eyewitnesses of the mitt classics in obtaining a complete blow-by-blow description. Various stage effects are used to make the fight realistic. A crowd of “supers” in the WGN studio enlivens things with their cheering and ’’cracks” at the boxers. The bell is sounded each round and the announefer puts plenty of color into his description, telling of various notable about the ring and describing incidents and sidelights. * We have the word of a local radio-sport fan who listened in last Saturday night that It's great stuff. 20 ASSISTS Art Fletcher’s Phillies seem to be going after the assist record. Against the Braves the other day the Phils turned in twenty. Sand had seven and Friberg eight, the remainder being scattered.

ST. PAUL NEXT ON PROGRAM Indians Close Miller Series Today Tribe Pitchers Plastered Friday. Bu Times Kncelnl MINNEAPOLIS. April 24.—The Indians of Indianapolis today were to close their first visit of the season in Minneapolis when they battled the Millers in the fourth fracas of the series. The diamond pastlmers from will perform in St Paul Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and then hustle to Indianapolis to open their hqme season Thursday. Wednesday is an off day in the A. A. schedule. Bill Burwell was the probable Tribe pitching selection this afternoon. He has won two games, having defeated Kansas City and Milwaukee. The Hobsier hurlers were bombarded Friday and the Millers won, 13 to 6. Indianapolis seldom has been defeated that hadly since Ownie Bush took over the managerial reins in 1924, but try as they would the Indians could not stem the tide when the Ivelleyites cut loose. Manager Kelley of the locals shook up his batting order for the third of the series Friday, and the change was productive of singles, doubles, a triple and three home-runs. Carmen Hill was knocked off the rubber. Art Reynolds received a drubbing and Weaver likewise. Lefty Thompson finished on the Tribe mound and stopped .the Miller attack, but it was too late; the home swatters had collected many more runs than they needed.

Tribe Gossip

Mil Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, April 24.—The Millers always have been a hard club for the Indians. They knocked the Hoosiers out of a pennant in 1924. Their slambang attack usually gets results against Tribe, pit :hJng. It was a queer thing Friday. The loca.ls.were held to six hits by Southpaw ifenry Thursday, but when Carmen liill faced them Friday they took a liking to his speed and soon had him chased to the showers. Five runs were scored lty he Hoosiers in the first inning, but were the Millers disheartened? No! They started immediately ami soon passed the Tribe total. Cotton Tierney crashed two home runs and McAuley got one over the frnce. The locals collected seventeen hits. Pitcher Reynolds, who relieved Hill, received a cut cheek from a hard batted hall, but stayed in the game until knocked out with base hits. Friday was “ladies' day,” and (he attendance, including the women admitted free, was up around 4,000. Ten hits were obtained by the Tribesmen, Matthews and Sicking each getting two. The only extra base swat by the Bushmen was a double by Yoter. Six runs, counted by the Hoosiers, usually are enough to win, but not in the small Miller park. Jimmy Middleton, Miller pitcher, settled down after the early innings and thereafter was not bothered much by Tribe batsben. Six doubles were crashed out by the locals. Ford got a triple and Tierney two home runs and McAuiey one. Oh, yes, and there were some singlbs. Before the series finale today the game count was two and one in favor of Minneapolis.

Eldridge has cabled the speedway office that the cars will be shipped April 28 and that he should check in at the Speedway a couple of weeks later. Ho will bring Douglas Hawkes with him as the driver of his second car. Hawkes drove a Bentley in the 1922, 600-mile race, finishing thirteenth. The entries announced to date are.
