BOAT CLUB Is TO
HOLD A Meeting
Financial Problems viii Be Gone Over
Again, and Final Effort Made to
Secure Money.

Another meeting of the members OF
the boat club has been called for Sat
urday evening and important matters
will come up for final settlement The
meeting will be held at the store of
Charles Fiebig, the locksnith At the
last meeting held at the club house the
matter of paying off the debts incur
red in building the club house was dis
cussed at length and number of men
expressed themselves as favorable to
the project of advancing enough money
to the club to put it on a sound basis
and to collect the loan thus made in
the spring. Very little money has
been collected in this way, however,
and the debts are still standing The
trustees and officers of the club feel
that it is time to do something and
the matter viii be pressed this time
In case enough money is not forthcom-
ing from the members of the associa-
ton, it is more than likely that the
management of the club will be placed
in the hands of the trustees and the
general opinion seems to be that in
that case they will organize a stock
company AMI after paying the liabili
ties of the club, proceed to regain the
money so expended by charging a nom
inal sum for harboring boats and

new TEAM IN LIST
Basketball Players Form Organization
to Play During, Season as
Independents.
Lift is MADE CAPTAIN
Boys Select Al Bergston AS Manager
Tournament for Tri-City Title
May Be Arranged.

An independent basketball team was
organized last evening at meeting
held at the Harms hotel, and the new
team looks the best of any of the like
organizations which has sprung up in
any of the three cities this year The
members are all old experienced play
ers, who have made a special study of
the game and whose names are famil-
lar to all followers of the sport in this
city. Lee Lift, a member of the high
school basketball team for four years,
was selected to serve in the capacity
as captain of the team and AL Berg
ston. who has been connected with the
game for many years at the Y. NJ. c. \.
was chosen 10 act as manager.
1t is planned to make up the team
with Lift as center, Edward Strate aud
TCharles Roantree, forwards, and Ar
thur Harms and Fred Astor, guards
All these are versatile men and cap
fable of playing any position on the
team so that this may not be the final
lineup selected. The team expects to
commence preliminary practice at once
and arrangements will be made to Sc
cure a hall suitable to play in. The
Armory hall furnishes the best place
! for an independent team and it will
probably be secured for practice as
well as match games. A uniform of
white has been selected by the team.
Plan Tourney.
| With the organization of this team
comes the suggestion from Physical
Director Franks at the Y. Nj. c. A. to
the effect that a scheme be placed on
! foot to decide the championship of the
three cities in basketball this winter
He has intimated that he will provide
a suitable prize in case the scheme
meets with the approval of enough OF
the teams OF the three cities to make
the tournament a success. Two plans
have been advanced for determining
the standing of the different tri-citH
i teams who are after the championship
The first ami most natural one was t
organize a lcf que and have each team
meet the other at least once during the
year and the one with the highest per
IcentaSe of games won to be dubbed
i champions. The other and simpler
plan is to have three day tournament
and to decide the best team by pro
cess of elimination. Either scheme
y meets with the approval of the indie
pendent team organized last night AM
when the season advances a little it i!
4 likely that CROUCH of the teams will ge

miles required more than six minutes.
what do / think of Hayes?
think great deal more of him than !
did In London, for 2:56:1S %. which
was Hayes time in England, Is very
slow for the Marathon.
MY policy was to keep ahead OF
Hayes all the time, and ! had little
trouble in doing SO. At the beginning
of the race 1 was little nervous. as
l always am, but l soon got over that,
and after the fifteenth mile / knew
that all l had to do was to keep cool
/ did not plan TO run away from Hayes
until the last mile, and when the time
came for the squirt l had plenty OF
speed left and could have gone faster
If 1 had needed to. didn't have much
practice for the race. l ran only
eleven times between the London and
the New York race
"Was l tired after the race? Oh,
no. sat up and chatted with friends
until o'clock and then got up at in
the morning and took four mile walk
after breakfast.
81 am ready to run Longboat or any
body else. l shall stay I'm this country
| for two months, and l want to get as
many races as possible. incidentally
| | want to see as much of the country
as possible. like America very much

| or on the night of the race"
In response to a question as TO how
he explained his collapse Mt London
| Dorando said: 81 had no attendants
| during the last two miles. and my
throat was parched. and my head was
| so hot that l thought it would burst
But l am quite sure that l could have
finished without help. The official:
who lifted me up were my undoing
How long have I been running? Fiv,
years, but two of them / spent in til;
