saints" in Junior City League.

Washington hall was used fol
basketball for the first time last
night and a good sized crowd was on
hand to witness the All-Star Dexter
contest. Michael Lang's new team
won by a score of i to As. The
game was fast and seemed to be the
kind desired by most of the fans. In
the preliminary game, one of the
Junior City League attractions, the
Monitors bested the St. Anthonys in
the form OF 81 to 16.
Teh big game started shortly at
ter 8 O'Clock. The All Stars showed
unusual speed and began some live
ly work. Their roughness was fol-
lowed up with similar work on the
Dexter side and before mahy min
utes of play the sides had warmed
up to about the liveliest game ever
played in this city.
Spectators were seated along the
side walls and at the northerly end
of the hall. The only .outs'' were
near the entrance to the place. Spec
tators along the side walls and some
parts at the end of the hall were
used as nets In a way. Occasionally
the players would mix 1t" and out
of the melee would come two players
in a wrestling attitude, who would
fall against the spectators. For a
time the sides kept scoring pretty
evenly and the Dexters were holding
their own. Seven members of the
All Stars were given q try-out and
aall did good work. Lang, Litz and
Reibolt, of the Newarkers, did most
of the scoring, while Schwartz play
ed admirably.
The game resembled most OF those
played In Newark, inasmueh as the
A. A. u. rules were not strictly adj
hered to, yet the game was not
played under professional rules.

SOME FRESH DOPE -

Basketball affairs took a new
trend last night In the opening of
Washington hall as a court. While
there seems to be a lack of space
there for the accommodation of fair
sized crowds, the hall is comfortable
for small attendances. Skilled play
ers who like an enthusiastic contest,
seem to delight in having crowds Of
spectators surge out on the court and
cheer, as they often do at amateur
baseball gamess where the base lines
are crowded with ardent admirers of
the contesting teams.
A revival of interest, in wrestling
seems to be at hand In this city.
Followers of this branch OF sport are
beginning to awaken to a realization
