INDOORGAME
NOW POPULAR

While winter holds sway In many
cities and the air is tinged with a Jack
Frostican twang, making the outdoor
game impossible, the game OF indoor
baseball has been SO perfected that,
minus the grass. the fence ads. and the
bieachers, it is one and the same thing.
Interest in this perfectly Ane game
Ia picking up In nearly every big city,
and every one who has seen 1t played
Is as enthusiasts about 1t as they are
about the real thing. In fact the game
has become so popular that the pro-
meters In several large cities are about
to form a big circuit, with many of the
major league stars as players. In New
York Andy Coakley, formerly star
pitcher OF the Chicago Nationals, Is
one of the most active promoters of the
game, and he predicts Z great future
FOR the game. Coskfey says that he IN
teads to do all In his power to organ
lie the circuit.
Among the major league stars who
have taken up the indoor game are
Hans Wagner, Tommy Leach, Chris
ty Mathewson, Heinfe Zimmerman.
George Browne, Rube Waddeli, George
Wiltse, Sherwood Magee and q num-
Der of others. These men are pleased
with the game and believe 1t a splen-
did way to condition themselves for
the coming season. In the different
cities where these players have APP
peared the games have been largely
attended and the fans are enthusiastic.
Recently In Rochester. N. Y, Rube
WaddelI established q new strikeeut
record. In q battle against John Gan
xers team he famed twenty-five men
In nine innings.
Indoor baseball OF today Is not the
game witnessed several years ago.
where a big soft ball vas used and a
sawed of broom handle was brought
into play for a bat and where tho run
ner was hit with the ball to be retired
instead Of throwing the sphere TO the
baseman--not like that at all.
All the rules and all the PLAYS which
have made baseball the national pas
time OF this country and are forcing
1t into all lands where q real sport is
sought are In vogue, with but n mod
iacation-when a batter is hit By .

The ball can be curved not only a
little bit, but wide shoots and bends
are put on the ball. and the catcher
necessarily must use the chest pro

SPTS PURITANS
In K~ozusko's hall tonight the Pu-
ritan Athletic Club will entertain the
Catholic Club basketball five, OF
New Brunswick. There will be
dancing before and after the con-
test.
The contest tonight Is expected to
be a close one Much has been said
regarding the relative strength OF
these teams. but 1t Is not known
which Ia superior. The battle to-
night Will determine to some degree
which Is the strongest. There is,
therefore, little doubt but what each
side will strive with might and main
to win. The Puritans have prac-
ticed extensively Of late tn Ko-
zusko's hall. their training quarters.
In the preliminary game to be
held prior to the main attraction,
the Puritan Junior five will oppose
the st. Anthonys. This meeting
should be q good attraction In itself.

THREE HALLS
ARE FAVORED

At tho present time three halls
are under consideration for the COM
pIetion Of tho City Basketball
League schedules. They are: Wash
fngton, Pulaski and Kozusko's hall.
Tho first named is most centrally
located, but 1t Is understood the rem
tai price is not satisfactory to the
league.
The next best place seems to be
Pulaski hall, in upper State street,
That is conceded to be the best
adapted for the sport, inasmuch as ii
is of about the right size, but the
location seems to be an objection.
Likewise with Kozusko's hall. 1t is
located at Hall avenue and Cath
crime street.
A committee Is now securing
prices on the places and the infor-
nation will be given to the league
at a meeting on Monday, at which
time 1t will probably be decided
whether OF not the series Will be
continued and II continued. what
hall will be used.

Columbus and Bayonne ~.
seeums in Auditorium.

One Of the hest basketball games
yet arranged for the Auditorium
should result In the meeting of the
Columbia team. of Elizabeth, and
the Bayonne-Lyceum Ave tonight,
Seldom IL ever before has two teams
with regulations as these met on
the Auditorium court. They have
defeated the leading teams OF this
and New York state and appear to
be evenly matched, according to
their records.
Manager Harry Fox had arranged
to have the Columbus meet the st.
joseph Lyceums, OF Brooklyn, but
seeing a proposition to meet the
Bayonne Lyceums on their only open
date this season, he accepted and
will have the Brooklyn team here on
a later date. He believes he can
give the FANS of this section a
brilliant attraction, In fact one bet
ter than any he has yet attempted,
by booking the Bayonne Lyceums
against the Columbias.
There is little doubt but that the
Elizabeth aggregation ts winning
favor here as a professional team. 1t
has shown itself to be a clean play
ing aggregation, and M of the best
that ever appeared In this city. All
that IL needed to further promote
interest in professional basketball is
to supply teams that can hold their
own against this clever collection of
athletes.
The Columbia team Is composed
of athletes who have training the
year around. In the simmer they
are members of outdoor teams. One
of them Ia a catcher In the Jersey
City Eastern League and others are
prominent on weli-known baseball
teams in the northern part OF the
