However, this does not deduct any
glory from the Sewaren lads, who
fought a game uphill battle which

and Henry Simonsen showed up in
classy order in the last few minutes
of play. Price outjumped Wand and
played a better game In every de-
partment of the sport. He was, of
course, aided by his weight.

Riversides VS.. T~ottenville A. C. on
the Auditorium court at 8.45 O'Clock
tonight-is the card to be presented
to fandom in these parts. Followers
and rooters of the squads are anx-
iously awaiting the moment when
Referee Van Mulchahey will give the
signal for the beginning of the war
fare. The game is expected to be the
battle of battles. Every warrior of
the Riverside team is primed up for
the occasion as is every individual
who will support the T. A. c. colors
on the playing space tonight. Optim-
istic reports come from both camps.
The Islanders will appear in gray
and red While the McCIeery clan
will be seen in red and gray. As
both squads are conceded to be the
fastest crews in these parts at pres
ent, there is every reason to believe
the fray will be one of anexcelled
sped and cleverness.
Scott Burns and Allen, the two
guards of the Riverside team will be
at their favorite jobs tonight.
1t is believed that Father" Pagnod,
n of the wisest and cleverest of
~tossers in this part of basketballdom,
will be guarded by Burns while Be-
dell will match his wits against the
speedy Bunk Allen. These COM
binations will be seen in this make
up if these players are in their regu-
lar positions. Paugh and Maean, the
Gold Dust Twins will guard Nc
Creery and Regain respectively, if
these 'tossers are given their usual
assignments while Durham will OPP
pose Cline at the pivot. Bill Rey-
nolds, who is suffering from a weak
ankle and who has been unable to
get any practice this week will be
out of the game, according to Cap
tain McCreery. However Bill will be
OF hand to coach his favorites and
give them a hand" if anything goes
wrong.
The regular price of admission
will be charged despite the caIibre Of
the attraction. Skating will also be
a feature. The result of the game
means much. 1t will be disastrous
to the aspirations of the locals if the
T. A. c. win and so they will do some
hard work on the court in tonight's

 PERISRED IN OCEAN
FRAGMENTS OF THE HYDRO. AERoPLANE AND CLOTHING
 WASHED ASHORE.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 17-Frag- ments of a hydro-aeroplane and cloth ing which were washed ashore and identified proved today that Aviator Horace Kearny and his reporter com panion, Chester Lawrence, met dis. asse- soon after they started last Saturday, on their proposed flight over the ocean to San Francisco.
 The exact circumstances surround ing their death probably always will remain unknown. They may have died within few hours after they vanished Saturday afternoon in the mists off Point Firmin, or they may have clung to their fragile craft all through a stormy night and the next day But judging from the position of the wreckaee which gave today the first definite clue to their fate. they died a short distance from shore and in all probability their bodies now rest in the tangled morass of the Kelp beds near Redondo beach.
 The wfeokage Of the nydro-asro-  plane was found today at Fisherman 5 Cove. foir miles south Of Redondo. by Paul Banzhaf and two companions, wfo conducted an independent search. Tie searches picked up a shirt and vest Glenn Martin, who undertook Sunday the dangerous hydro-aero- plane flight in search of Kearny. de- clared that the vest was part of the clothing Lawrence wore when he boarded the aeroplane with Kearny
 The shirt and vest were ripped and torn. indicating the haste and des- peration with which their wearer had cast off impediments for his battle with the sea A pontoon found near by was battered and dented and the condition of fragmentary wing tip also found gave evidence of having been battered by the waves.
