Why Coat LapeIs Have Nlcks.

The following is said to be the story
OF the origin of the nick In the lapel
Of mems coats: When Napoleon first
felt the sway of ambition he tried to
duplicate General Moreau in con-
spiracy. Moreau had been Napoleon's
superior, and was exceedingly popular,
but in the circumstances, with the
Man Of Destiny in power, 1t was not
safe to express publicly sympathy with
Moreau. His admirers and supporters
quietly agreed to nick their lapels to
show their fellowship, the outlines of
the coat, after the nick was made,

ed of Newark men, who have a repu-
tation in the basketball world and
who will try to better their former
performances. Thirty-two wins and
but eight defeats was their mark of
honor last season. Barney Sedrin,
the little clever boy from the "Uni-
versal Settlement" is booked for
right forward with this bunch, and
Young Alex, the claimant to the
featherweight championship in box
ing in New Jersey, will be Sedrin's
side-kink. Saul Lanes, who has
been appointed captain of the squad,
will occupy the pivot position. Marty
Metz, who is one of the speediest
boys in the business, is slated for
right guard, while Benny. Rauch,
formerly of the Ironsides and Do
minicians, will play left guard.
Manager Charles s. Metsky, who may
be reached at 20 Charlton street,
Newark, prefers to stack his quintet
against the Riversides, the T. A. G..

Series for County Supremacy.
FIRST GAME IN WOODBRIDGE

With New Brunswick represented
final plans were formulated and a
schedule was adopted at a meeting
of the Middlesex County High School
Basketball League held Saturday af-
ternoon in the local school building.
Everything looks bright for a bril-
liant season in these parts among
the high schools this year as all the
entries have practice space and
should show clever form.
South River is the only doubtful
character in the league. Woodbridge,
New Brunswick and Perth Amboy
are expected to fight a neck-to-neck
race, as these schools have shown
nearly equal strength in former sea-
sons. AS a matter of fact, Perth
Amboy has always been the superior
Over the other county teams but
Woodbridge made such rapid pro-
gress last year that they are really
considered in the locals sclass. New
Brunswick, it has always been
known, can do better than she has
done against the local schools gum
let in former years, and with a
league standing as their goal they
will no doubt come out into their
strongest form.
Word from the camp of the Wood
bridge boys and the Perth Amboy
quintet shows that they have good
coaches who will improve their cali

spitball pitcher, was thought to be
more seasoned if not so fiashy as Big
JEFF.
Merkle and Doyle. at FIRST and
second. were conceded 20 be as
much better than Stahl and Ierkes,
as Wagner and Gardner were lee
koned superior 10 Fletcher and Her
zog. The Boston infield us Il whole
was thought to possess greater de-
fensive strength, being steadier than
the Giant four, and the quartet be-
ing a smore smoothly working ma
chine. But the New York infelders
possess higher batting averages than
their Boston rivals. Again, a toss
up.
AS for outfields, Boston was gen.
orally given the preference. Lewis,
Speaker and Hoover form n of the
most wonderful fielding trios that
has ever played the game. according
to all critics. In addition they are
a good hitting bunch, Speaker es-
pecially being a terrific swatter.
Opposed to them were to be Murray,
Snodgrass and Becker. Red John
Murray, at times a sensational field
er and vicious hitter, was not to be
heavily banked on because of his
tendency to be erratic. At that he
stands head and shoulders above
Becker and Snodgrass. Man for
man and as a combination the Giant
%outfielders rank below the Red Sox
gardeners.
Any advantage that Boston might
have in actual playing strength was
the managerial ability of John Nc
Graw, the Giants boss. His gener-
alship has always been of a uniform
ly high order, and critics ranked
him above Jake Stahl. Although
Stahl, aided and abetted by McAleer,
was recognized as an able general.
and one who could produce results.
Summing it all up, the two teams
were regarded as about evenly
matched as TO real, game-winning
ability. Critics compiled statistics
and reckoned individual merit with
out reaching a decision for either
team. The question was an open
one, and guess-work availed noIh-
ing. The whole problem seemed TO
be one of how the teams would act
under fire. The Giants, having been
through one worlds series, were
confident. The Red Sox, having de-
feated the team that won the cham
pionship from the Giants, were like
wise confident.
Tomorrow's game will be played
at Boston, the two teams spending
tonight In New York and travelling
to the Hub tomorrow morning. A
big reception awaits them.
