Few Basketball Changee.
There will be no radical changes in
the basketball rules for next season,
for at a recent meeting of the joint
committees of the Young Men's Chris
tian association, Amateur Athletic un-
ion and National Collegiate Athletic
association in New York it was decided
that the regulations need no Important
doctoring. The members of the joint
committee are William H. Ball, Y. M
C. A.; George T. Hepburn, Charles A
Dean, E. C. Gibney and Harry Hen
schel, A. A. U.; Dr. Joseph Roycroft,
Princeton; Ralph Morgan, University
of Pennsylvania; Dr. James Naismith.

by hand. A player running with the
ball may be tackled, but tackling be I
low the hips is prohibited, thus elimi- ।
nating the possibility of injury by the.
runner kicking the tackler. The runner
when tackled is compelled by the rules i
of the game to stop, and the tackler is
not allowed to throw him.

* icnl education nt the Kansas nniver-
sity, the inventor of the gam of bas
cent chat about pitching records had
the following to say: “I doubt that any
pitcher will ever even approach my
record of having won 500 games. Con-
ditions have changed so much. There
are lots of great pitchers now; but, you
see, when I was piling up victories I
was pitching forty or more games a
year. We had but three regular pitch-
ers in those days, and I was called on
more often than the pitchers of the
present time.
“Mathewson would have to keep on
pitching until he was fifty years of age
and be a winner, too, in order to tie my
record. Walter Johnson might have a
chance, but he will have to go about
fifteen more years to do it, so I guess
my record is safe.”
Cy has not pitched for two years. He
tried to fool around with an amateur
team two years ago, but was not equal
to it “My arm was dead,” he said.

Charles E. Courtney, who for thirty
one years has been coach of Cornell's
navy, has been the most successful
mentor of college crews in the history
of college rowing Born in Union
Springs, N. Y., sixty-seven years ago,
Mr. Courtney began his career in row
ing as an amateur in single sculls. As
an amateur he rowed in eighty-eight
races and never was beaten. As a pro
fessional he won thirtyseven racer
and lost seven. One of these defeats
was at the hands of Edward Hanlon
of Toronto at Lachine in 1878. The
finisl of that race was so close that
many spectators disputed the oficial
verdict. Another race was arranged to
take place on Lake Chautauqua, but it
never was rowed. Last year Mr. Court
ney was severely Injured by a fall, and
■Inca that time he has been in poor
health.

Now comes the rumors and reports
that questionable methods were prac-
ticed in some of the voting boxes dur-
ing the election held Saturday Ru-

not delivered, owing to a sudden

F ’ 7 Thai there are men in this county
who accept money for ‘shady’ transee i
tions in politics is a notorious fact;.
and we believe that the sooner we rid
the political world in Wise county of
these undesirables, more secure, and
more sacred, will be the ballot The
Messenger stands for a clean election,
one that is free of taint and suspicion,
and it stands ready at all times to do
its part in correcting evils and pen-
ning" those who thwart the will of the
citizens by such methods. If political
skullduddry is rampant, and pluggers
and cheap skate politicians are in
control of our political destiny, we
should awake and clean up. Other-
wise, the sovereign voters might as
well surrender lock, stock and barrel.
Midnight visits of “politicians’ lo
country boxes in this and that section
of the county; a wild desire to name
who shall “call” at particular boxes
during the tallying of the vote; the
seeking of control of the management
of elections-all have an ugly, very
ugly aspect.
Why is it necessary to employ
armed men to guard ballot boxes
after they are delivered in this town?
The system is dangerous, gentle-
men; very dangerous to the liberties
of a free people.
