Make Noisy Lines The cloth-covered cord which connects your telephone instrument with the bell box and the cord running to the telephone receiver are each made up of a number of fine wires covered" with light insulation. If these cords were not made in this way they would not be flexible. They are necessarily delicate and easily put out of order by misuse. Subscribers are requested to avoid twisting and knotting the telephone cords as this wears through the insulation, breaks the fine wires and causes short circuits. The first effect is usually a scratching noise in the receiver and later the telephone is put out of service entirely.

7 GOTO E E Some of the Punch Taken Out of Foul Goal in Basketball, BY DAVIS J. WALSH International News Service Sports Editor. NEW YORK, April IS. You can thank Mr. Floyd FiUsimmons, late of Benton Harbor. Mich., now of Michigan City. Ind., foij the fact that Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, Is not, to link arms with Jack Dempsey and Johnny Kilbane snd join ths merry throng along the Strand In that dear old London. At least, not In the immediate future. 'Benny had a previous engagement with Mr. Fitzslmmons to fight one of three men at Michigan City, July 4. Otherwise, he might show unseemly . haste lnacceptlng an offer of I4G.00O to box Ernie Rice In London. The offer is advanced by Louis Healy, a responsible promoter, which makes that end of It quite all right, and Jtlce is a very fair sort of a third rater, which 'Axes that.

The (basketball rules committee Is responsible for a bit of constructive legislation In taking some of the punch out of the foul goal, a somewhat annoying feature of an otherwise commendable game. The doubling of the penalty for personal ifouls commltteed within fifteen feet of the basket means' that players will hesitate before they deliberately foul a man to prevent him from scoring a' field goal. The latter is the life blood of basketball, this business of scoring point after point from the foul line being about as Interesting as a bill of lading. , " However, the game as played by the colleges and among the amateurs can stand Improvement from the standpoint of the spectator. The professional game Is far more . interesting. IT TAKES BASEBALL TO BRING TOGETHER CZARS OF GRIDIRON STRATEGY CINCINNATI, O..
