fore the final whistle blew, won he
! game for the Roosevelt Five, OF New
! York, against the Celluloid Club, of this
city. 10 to 9. at Celluloid Hall, last night.
Play during the entire contest was
close as well as rough. The record
! crowd thai packed the hall to its ca
pacity made it quite Impossible for
either team to do much passing, as the
| spectators crowded on the floor. Joe
Fairchild, who acted as referee, refused
to call many fouls. Play was started
at Q o'clock. Joe Harrison, the crack
centre of the New Workers, received the
ball on the side from the Cells part OF
the court and Gagged the first bail.

made the only three goals scored oy
his team, tied 1t up with a neat one
from the centre OF the hall. Bralower,
the crack fast guard of the visitors,
was next in line. and he made a beau
! tiful one-hand shot near the foul line
Before the whistle blew for time in the
first half, Bralower made it count SIX
for his team. The first period ended
6 to Q In favor of the Roosevelts. m
mediately after play started in the final
half. Stumpf grabbed the leather on "a
swift pass from Welsh and made a
clean cage of the ball under the basket
A foul was called on the New Workers
for some unknown reason n Stumpf
succeeded. The Manhattanites were
given a free throw, the locals being
~reprimanded for pushing, and little
SEVERN sent 1t through the net. Cat
terall and Stumpf scored fouls for the
Cells" in the half, while SEVERN tall
lied another. The Celluloids will meet
the Mercurys Of New York, at Cellu-
loid Hall next Thursday night. john

Two big basketball organizations In
augurated their 1911 season last night.
The Tri-County League got under way
at Rentschler s Hall, Harrison, the Do
minicans and the General Eleetrics en-
gaging in the initial contest. The con-
test ended with a victory for the for
mer. The Celluloids opened on their
home court, but lost to their opponents,
the Roosevelt five. of New York.

Figuring that the big baseball game
at Wiedennlayer's park would get the
crowd Sunday afternoon, Manager
Henry Glassen. of the Ironside F. C.,
and Charley Wagner, the boss of the
Clinton five, agreed to postpone the
game scheduled at New Saenger Hall
With Henninger, Jones and Conlor
in their lineup the Dominicans have q
trio of former st. Benedict players IL
their lineup.
AT Wiedenmayer's Casino tonight the
Niagara five will tackle the Newark
Eastern League players at basketball
Cady will be in centre for the Tigers
and Louden will make his local debut
as a basketball artist. Billy and Eddie
Zimmerman and Bob Fisher will make
VI the five. The game will be called
at $3.50. There will be dancing before
and after the contest.
.
The Eastern League has granted per
mission to President Scheffer to form q
working "a agreement with the Hudson
River. Central and New England
leagues. 1t is very likely that a ma
tional basketball commission will BIZ
formed which will act in all disputes
arising over players in the various sec
lions and which would blacklist any
player that jumps a contract during
the playing season.
o.
Harry Hough, of Trenton, is the
greatest little basketball general tina
lever donned a uniform. Last year witt
Southside, he received $25 per game
seventeen games per month or S42o
His contract called for -four months al
100. Fred Cooper, who will managt
Trenton, maintained that If Hough was
disbarred the magnates would only be
cutting off their noses to spite theil
faces,
Trenton's biggest task this season viii
be to secure a good centre man. The
managers of the New Jersey five are
awaiting any day the decision of Get
Finger. centre of the worlds champion
McKeesport FIVE. If he decides to cas-
his lot with the potters the outlook a
the Jersey capital is indeed bright for
championship team.
