With practically the best obtain
able lineup from this side of the
county supporting their colors, the
Neptune basketball quintet easily
disposed, last night, of the South
River crew, their great rivals, by a
21-11 core. 1t was a great victory
for the South Amboy aggregation
for every fan in the little burg want
ed to see Harry Schwartz and Mon"
Miller, two former Neptune players
downed as we'll as they desired to
see the defeat Of the South River
team In general.
The crowd that witnessed the fray,
saw one classy exhibition of basket
ball from the first minute until the
last. Every field goal scored from
the first made by Johnny McCreery,
captain of the Riversides, until the
Last scored by Jimmy Armstrong,

characterized the work Of most OF
the players.
Johnny McCreery played one Of
the best games Of his career. He
only tailed two field goals, but his
work on the floor was Of the Jimmy
Canton style. He never stopped go
ing once until the last stages OF the
second half. Canton played his
usual wonderful game, being every
where ut the same time. Durham
outpointed Schwartz. much to the
satisfaction of the large crew OF Nep-
tune rooters and Bunk Allen played

followers as the Puritans have. The
North Amboy aggregation is the
pride Of their section in athletics for
the boys up Hall avenue way have
no baseball team Of any note nor
have they q football squad. But
they have had one of the best bas-
ketball quintets and have supported
them In fine style. So 1t is with
open arms that the winter sport will
welcome the return of the Puritans
to basketball civilization.
Manager Charles Anderson, who
has Withdrawn from basketball
circles, according to his state
ment, is one who took good care Of
his last seasons favorites and while
he did not have an extensive sched-
ule, he saw to 1t that his games
were properly arranged, giving the
Puritan five a chance for a brilliant
reeord-something they attained.
Only the players themselves can esti-
mate the value of Tom Canton, who
has not only stuck by the North
Amboy crew as coach since they have
been in action, but also helped the
management of the team considera-
bly,.
With new life and spirit in Joe
Mullen, the Purltans will no doubt
return to basketballdom with renew
ed vigor and will strive to attain the
pinnacle which they have already
reached in seasons past.

Puritan Manager.

IullUWA NIaIIASSI'
In the sporting columns of this
paper in the issue OF August 28 was
published q statement which read as
follows: According to dope received
at this office Joseph Mullen, captain
of the South River baseball nine n
active In the basketball affairs OF
the Marion A. G. quintet Of last year,
will be the manager OF the Purltans
for the coming season.
When the Puritans met Tuesday
night for a real reorganization they
elected Joe Mullen to the manager
ship. This Is one instance OF the
efficient service which the EVENING
NEWS sporting columns give their
readers. After the story concerning
Mullen with the Puritans was pub
lished in these columns others COM
menced handing out different dope
and some even went as far as saying
that 1t was a certainty that Charles
Anderson would manage the Pur1-
tans. The EVENING NEWS sport
ing editor did not comment or crlti-
cize for he believed 1t would be I'M
necessary since the true state or
affairs would soon loom up so as to
leave no doubt or room for discus
sion in the minds of the fans. JOE
MULLEN HAS BEEN ELECTED
MANAGER. Whether or not the
popular Marion athlete will accept Is
a matter of conjecture, although 1t
is highly probable, according to u
views, that he will take hold Of the
Puritan reins.

Brown with his Benz. for these driv-
ers set out at a clip that astonished
the spectators.
1t was Bruce Brown that set the
merry chase after Tetzlar and he
made desperate efforts to oyertake Il c
flying Californian.
The most thrilling moment during
the race occurred when Tetzlaff was
on his thirty -sccond circuit.
after he had completed this lap he
drew up al the pits for fresh tires, he
was leading Bruce Brown by n full
lap at this stage Of the race. The Benz
driver hove into sight while the lea d.
ing Fiat was at the pits, and. It was
thought that he was going to pass and
reduce TetzIan's lap advantage. How
ever, Bruce Brown also had to stop
for a tire and 1t was while ne was
at the pits that Caleb Bragg shot by
and went into second place. a posi-
ton he never relinquished.

The oil. lumber, mining, and fruit

steadily growing demand for heavy

Mining operations afford par
ticularly large field for trucks be-
cause here the cost OF transportation
by horse is excessive and railroad ia
cilities often are inadequate. In

sections where the railroads have

to see trucks hauling supplies along
the country roads,
