NEW RULES FOR EASTERN LEAGUE Basketball Boosters Hold a . Stormy Session; Plans For Winter Philadelphia, Sept. 5. —Although the Eastern Baseketball League Jam med through several quick changes in rules and held a record meet ing for time for its first fall confab, there was not enough pull together spirit among those present at the an nual meeting last night at the Bing ham House to predict k rosy future for the league. Disputes over the adoption of several of the rules and a treat by the Trenton Club not to start letlt the flavor otr the session anything but satisfactory to those who have the welfare of the league* at hcurt, but the chances are that everything will be serene wheg the league meets again. Two changes which promise to have a radical bearing upon the fu ture of the Eastern League went through with votes of 4 to 2 and It was these changes which were vio lently opposed by the two defeated clubs. The first rule suggested, then passed, was that the league adopt A three professional and two ama teur player rule for each club. Three Professionals In other words each club will con sist of three professional and two amateurs in a game with any num ber of amateurs for the side line. This rule was favored by Jasper, Heading, DeNerl and Camden and voted against by Greystock and Tren ton. Those in favor of the motion stated the reason for the reduction ol professional talent was on ac count of the war and the draft taking some of the players out of the league. With this rule in effect it means that some of those clubs who have all their players in line for the year will have to lose a few to get within the letter of the rule. It was just this which caused Greystock and Trenton to howl. The other rule which also caused dissatisfaction among the same twt> clubs, but which was favored by Jas per, Camden, DeNeri and Reading was that of the man-fouled-is-to shoot the-foul. This rule is followed by other leagues, but never before was recognized by the Eastern. Its adoption practically sounds the death knell to foul shooters. n^aoeJ^ail SCORES OF YESTERDAY National League Boston, 3; New Y#rk, 1. Philadelphia, 0; Brooklyn, 0 (Fourteen innings, darkness)'.
