Perth Amboy viii soon be repre-
scented by a club female basketball
team. There are male senior, junior
and midget club squads but there
have been no club female basketball
aggregations in this city and the
movement to organize a fair sex
squad of tossers is now being given
much thought and according to the
sentiment expressed by many Of the
fair sex representatives in basketball,
there is every reason to believe that
the organization of a female rev
will be effected.
The team will be known as the
Riverside Female Team and will only
play representatives of high schools
as the local squad will be comprised
mainly Or wholly of high school
maidens.
Miss Margaret Conquest, known to
her schoolmates as Peggy" will no
doubt be one of the main factors in
the new crew, as she has proven
herself to be a crack forward. Her
aggressiveness and ability to cage
the sphere from the field are her
strongholds. The services of Miss
Claire Pfeiffer, another high school
female tosser, will also be asked for
as the Maurer lassie is a classy play
er too and along with Miss Conquest
should make a brilliant combination
at the goal posts. For the pivot the
candidates are few and little consid-

RIVIES FEMALE
TEAM IN FRAY

Grafton has yet been given this posi-
ton. The guard jobs will probably
be distributed among several high
school lassies.
The incentive for the organization
Is a challenge from the South River
high school female five for a game to
be played at South River Christmas
Day afternoon. AS Miss Smith and
Miss Fletcher will be unable to &C
company the high school varsity fair
sex squad, the crimson and white ag-
~gregation are not allowed to accept
the challenge. SO the Riverside team
have decided to take the offer. Dave
Wilentz's Riverside basketball FIVE,
city champions, will play Jimmy
Blacks crowd of star South River
tossers in the main attraction Christ
mas Day afternoon, which will mean
that two local squads will invade
South River on that day. 1t is prob
able that a special car for rooters will
be hired for the fans in this burg for
two such attractions are rarely seen
in these diggings.
If the Riverside female crew find
themselves unable to get a team for
Christmas Day afternoon, an attempt
will be made to have the fair sex of
Woodbridge oppose the South River
ties on this occasion, However, there
seems to be no chance of having the
locals fall through on the o%rganiza-
ItiOn.

South Amboy, Dec. At was
rough and tumble on the knights of
Pyth1as court last night, when the
Seasides, OF Annadale, S. l., had to
play Jimmy Cantlon's slam bango
style and as a result they were not
only beaten 30-19, but a few we're
chopped up and minced, so to speak.
Solheim, of the visitors, was the real
victim of the battle for he was
thrown, banged, slammed, and every
thing else possible In rough house.
The other tossers were dealt with
more gently and basketballically.
Solheim plays a-la-rough style him
self and that is perhaps one reason
he received the poor end Of the deal.
Mike Schicker, who is very much
everywhere, proved a real gent at the
game, playing clean and sportsman
like every minute during the hostili-
ties. He did not take advantage Of
the fact that'he was on his own court
as another tosser of the South Am
boy crew did. Mike just played the
game as it ought to be played and
while he did not figure in the field
goal shooting, he did much to hand
the pellet II" those that did the scor-
ing. Jimmy Canton as usual had
the ball in his possession about half
the time and Is responsible in the
greatest degree for the victory of his
bunch. Freddie Garland gave a
clean cut and fine exhibition and tai
lied six from the field.

Woodbridge, Dec. 4:-Both the
male and the female basketball teams
of the local high school will travel
tomorrow afternoon. The boys var
sity squad will make their first trip
of the season to North Plainfeld,
where they will oppose the %represen-
tative squad of that place. Much
fear Is being expressed by local
sports, for the clean slate of victo-
ries may be broken in tomorrow's
tussle. The mere fact hat the bat
tie will be waged on foreign soil is
the sole cause for the danger of be-
ing unable to keep an undaunted
reputation sacred. With Wand at
the throttle and Reyder and Gushing
at the goal posts, the red and black
will be certain Of the honor Of fight
ing a hard battle-win or lose.
Vecsi, Deber and Love, the trio of
crack guards of the knowledge fac
tory of this burg, will be ready to get
into action in tomorrow's fray.
The female quintet of the school
will journey to Elizabeth, where they
will oppose the squad of Normal
school tossers whom they defeated
on the w. H. S. court last week. Of
course the Union county lassies ex-
pect to reverse the tide of victory on
this occasion but not so, say the local
fair ones.

Joe Concannon, thep ride Of New

with George Clark, the champion
pool" shark of New York state.
The game which will probably be Of
125 points will be shot in Acciani's
pocket billiard parlors in Smith
street. Not only will the reputation
of the sharks prove the attraction
which will draw all the lovers of
this sport, but the fact that Concan-

Concannon Is believed by many to

wielder in York state, so that the
match will be some interesting and
important one.
A crowd Is expected down from

the proprietor of the parlor where
the two cracks will meet will have his

only thing that hindered his classy

IS HERE

Johnny Carroll, the former Press
Club ba~sketballist and pugilist, who
has been in Union Hill for the last
year, Is back in our fold again.
Johnny will hereafter be a Perth Am
boy boxer for which fact local fans
feel proud. 1t is improbable that he
will be seen in basketball toys unless
1t be under the colors of the Press
Club, since he is a true member, be-
ing employed by the EVENING

While Carroll was in Uunion Hill
he was booked for many bouts in
which he Jared well and kept up his
reputation of being one of the speed
lest nit artists in the state. While
here he showed clever form and won
the admiration of many of the follow
ers of the manly art" He fought
the well known Joe Honan, the
Fighting Waiter" and earned a de-
cision over him before the members
of the Permo A. A. He also showed
up in great style in other bouts in
which he took part. 1t is very proba-

TO DECIDE
CHAMPION
]. QU|NT ET

Woodbridge, Dec. 4:-There Is
much agitation for a Parish House
Woodbridge high school basketball
game to decide the championship Of
this burg. There has been a rumor
afoat that these aggregations would
clash Saturday night, but Manager
MacElroy, of the high school crew,
stated today that he knew nothing
of the proposed tussle other than
that many were speaking about 1t
and that as yet the game had not
been scheduled for any date at all.
Fans from in and about this place
who are interested in the basketball
activities here are wondering how
the squads would line up should the
two forces finally agree to meet,
since the Parish House has Reyder
and Wand, the two high school stars.
Manager MacElroy stated that
Wand and Reyder would no doubt
show school loyalty and spirit and
would don the black and red If a
match game would be staged with
the Parish House so that the high
school would have their regular
lineup, while the Parish House would
have Campbell, Schoder, Potter, Par
sons and one other who would prob
ably be from the ranks of the Sewar-
en- A. A. So supporters of the high
school aggregation need have no fear
for the strength of their favorites.

fray staged in this part of the county.
And fandom does not have to regret
the fact that there are no other tus-

on the local court is one of the best
and sports could not expect much
better. The usual dancing will be
enjoyed before and after the tussle.
Who the referee will be is something
that has not yet been announced, al
though it is most probable thai j. j.
Petrick will get the assignment.
Everyone in these parts knows the
abilities Of the warriors of each
squad and SO the chances of either
aggregation is a matter of %conjec-

MIDGET TEAM MS.
TO PLAY HERE
Xavier Midgsts, of This City,
and Wee ksptunss Battle
in Auditorium.

Skating and basketball will be the
attraction at the Auditorium Satur-
day afternoon. There is nothing
new about the first named sport but
there is a surprise in store for fam
dom in the basketball tussle. 1t will
be between two midget teams-the
first game Of its nature on the Au-
ditorium court. 1t was through the
ambitions of little Willie Wilentz
and Leo Schwartz that the game
was proposed. This duo, one a
tahe Riversides, and the other a
brother of Manager Dave Wilentz of
brother of the celebrated basketball
sta Harry Schwartz, sen a letter to
Secretary Joseph Billott of the Au-
ditorium who decided to give the lit
tie fellows a chance.
The Neptune Midgets were COM
m~unicated with and everything was
found satisfactory for a game be-
tween the two aggregations-the
Xavier Midgets and the Neptune
Midgets.
Because midget teams have not
been playing in these parts, follow
ers of basketball, think not that the
local ladies are unacquainted with
the game. Every afternoon and any
other spare moments, these little
tossers who will be known as the
Xavier Midgets can be see practic-
ing on the high school court in the
real of the school building. The
crowd from this burg will be COM
prised of the following: Schwartz,
Wilentz, Joe Fiigen, Jacobson,
Gene" Parker, and one or two
others. Manager DAILY, of the Nep-
tune tossers, will use his regular
lineup.
