In putting? the ball in play from out;
of bounds is it illepl for the player
so doing to step on the boundary line?
The rule says he must not itep
across the boundary' line, which could
be interpreted that stepping on it is
not a violation of the rule. Howovor,
it is drawing the line of distinction
bit too fine. and ,players should make
it a point to not even step on the line
as. it might be construed otherwise by
the referee.
BALD IN am
If the ball is in the air for a M for
goal when the timekeepcr’s' whistle
announces that Lyle is up does the
goal count if made?
If the ball is in the air when the
timeup signal is sounded, piayf shall
continue until the ball has either on-
tered or missed the basket.
TIMEoOUT
Is there any time limit when time-is
taken 'out because/of a substitution. or
because of an injury?
No team shall .take more than 80
seconds to make the ordinary substi—
tution. In case of injury two minutes

By NBA Sachem
NEW YORK. Jan. 9.—-During his
recent visit to New York in behalf of
the Red. Cross drive on tuberculosis.
Claisty Mathewson was asked what
batsman was hardest for him to pitch
to duringvhis long career in the Na-
tional League.
"I had to work carefully on all of
the good hitters." was Matty's‘ modest
reply. “but Hans Wagner was my big-

The National League records cer-
tainly bear out thp' impression that
Mathewson had of Wagner. .
Covering a. period. of 16 neurons,
Wagner went to bat 327 times against
Matty and made 106 basehits for an
average of .320.
