Board of Managers Decided to With
 hold Decision.

The board of managers and directors of the local basket ball feague met in the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms last mgn1 to consider the protest made by the Y. NJ. c. A. as to the game played With the U. c. W. c. team last Saturday night. The Y NJ. c. A claimed tha- the Union City team won on baskets that should not have counted. One they claim was thrown from out or bounds and another after the referees whistle had blown. The board. after d careful consideration of the matter, decided to withhold their decision. George Waite. who refereed the game, will be seen as regards the playing of the game after his whistle had blown. What the board wishes to find out is whether this gave either team an advantage or not. The matter of the destroying of Scorer Klein's score book by Tomkinson was also brought up. but the board took no action on the matter. All the teams, with the exception of the High school, were rep resented at the meeting.
