COLUMBIAS TO
CLEAN EN- UP
New Junior Basketball Team
Expect Big Things.

With George Sheath as manager
and Arthur Ritter as captain, a new
Junior basketball team with the o
de plume of Columbus expect to
clean up for any team in these parts
of the 115 pound class. The meeting
at which a complete organization
was made was held Tuesday night at
the home of Charles Stern in MCClel-
Ian street. Other important business
such as deciding to hold a drawing
was acted on. Besides the manager
and captain, the following is the ma
terial which will be chosen from:
Eugene Parker, Percy Q~uackenboss,
Walter Eldridge and Charles Stern.
Little is known about any of this
bunch except Parker and Quacken-
boss, who played in the high school
inter-class series last year. Both
showed class. Parker Is a good all
around player and is dangerous
when the basket is in sight. ''Quacky'
is also a player of nc mean promise.
He shows great form in handling the
pellet and with a little more liveli-
ness and experience he will no doubt
make a star performer in the winter
sport.

high school building is being trans
formed so that it may accommodate
the athletes as a basketball court.
Here the team will practice under
the direction of Prof. Miller and it is
believed that the high school will
have in a short time a strong squad
of balltossers. 1t is characteristic Of
South Amboy high school to have a
good representation in every branch
of athletics that the school enters.
If this will be the case with the bas-
ketball quintet fandom in these parts
may look forward to one of the live
Hest OF seasons yet recorded in the
annals Of the sport In the county.

such a game would be arranged, they
would naturally want to await Kin

In the record of the O'Hara crew,
one must remember that not n

Saints and this means much. IL
is probable, and cry much so, that
If the State street boys had home
grounds, and games with Athletics
and South River were staged, that
the O'Hara crew would now be n
of the leading factors in the county
championship.
However, the supporters and the
players of the st. Anthony baseball
nine are not crying" about the
"whys and ifs" and expect to see the
State street nine settle down to hard
work and win the next couple OF
games they will play. Lets start
in on Tottenville," is the new wal
cry and all the supporters of the
locals will be on the Staten Island
diamond to help their favorttes to q

Cranbury's winning streak was

According to present indications
every basketball player Of any cali
bre at all in this burg will be on the
.en@everv Saturday night of the COM
dng season. With the Riverside play
ers In action in the Auditorium and
several Puritan men with the Nep-
tunes in South Amboy, 1t appears
that few b%alltossers will remain idle
here Saturday night. From these
few a team to represent the Good
wills may be picked. Harry Schwartz,
John began and Jimmy CANTON,
three Puritan stars, and the River
side players have been booked for
every Saturday. As these players
are generally conceded to be the
best In the city, who will the Good
wills have? However, the Goodwill
Association expects to have basket
ball every Saturday night IN con-
junction with the regular dancing.
The plans Of the Goodwill Associa-
ton, as reported, are to have dane
ing and basketball every Saturday
night instead OF Wednesday, the
Goodwill night last season. The
members of the club have finally de-

that the State street boys are no

The Tottenville nine will have to
go at it's regular strong pace to be

be invincible against the State street

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The opening of school has brought
a sudden jolt to the activities of the
future greats" No more baseball
will be allowed on the high school
grounds.
Until the eighth inning the Maurer
Jrs were kept whitewashed in a
game with the Royal A. A. on w. X.
diamond Sunday morning, but in the
ninth frame, they succeeded In scor-
ing one tally, which made the final
81, In favor of the Royals. The
Maurer nine previously defeated the
Royals by an overwhelming score
and the spirit of revenge reigned in
the heart of every player OF the win
ming team. "Peewee' Dametsch, the
high school shortstop twirled against
the locals in classy style, but the
sluggers of the local nine got to him
in several frames, which put the
game on ice. G%ovronsky twlrled in
masterful style for the Royals. Bat
teries we're: Maurer, Dametsch and
Gadek; Royals, Gavronsky and

Teams averaging from 14-16 years
old may book games with the Royal

The game between the Royal A. A.

ARE READY TO
CLASH SUNDAY
DriscoII's and South River to
Meet in Brunswick.

Dave DriscolPs band of warriors
and Walter Miller's clan of balltoss-
ers will meet on the Amusement
Park diamond in New Brunswick
Sunday afternoon to settle a long
existing rivalry between them. These
two aggregations were scheduled to
meet last Sunday but owing to the
unwelcomed appearance of Jupiter
Pluvius, a postponement was in or
der. However, this did not kill in
terest whatsoever.
South River fans are keyed up
over the situation and the reports of
how their favorites will line up are
giving them no worry. On the other
hand, county seat fandom, who see
nothing but Driscoll as a winner, are
beginning to do more doping about
the game than before. The report
that Manager Miller was seer at the
Polo Grounds Monday in converse
ton with Manager Dahlen, of the
Brooklyn Nationals, and the prospect
of having the peerless Nap Rucker
on the mound for South River, Is
causing many former county seal
would be" bettors to be content
with relating their views In plain
United States instead of talking
money.
There is one thing certain about
South River and their players and
that is that the infeld will remain
unchanged. Joe Mullen, the local
tosser, will work on first base,
Grimes, Powers and Beatner will
form the other side of the infeld.

are one to the good In the Tottenville
series, having taken a game early
in the season against Romer, AZ.
But Robedee Is going so strong at
this stage of the season and all the
fans are placing 81 much confidence
in him that he will no doubt occupy
the slab Saturday. Romer has not
been twirling for the T. A. G. and 1T
is hardly probable that Manager
Shea will ask him to return to the
fold for this game only. Especially
because TottenvtIle fandom thing the
Saints are weaker than they were
on their last appearance and the T.
A. G. on the other hand, Is stronger.
Who will grace the mound for the
locals Is nearly as puzzling a question
as that about the Tottenville mound
performer. 1t appears as II DUNCAN
and Ellie are the only slab perform
ers that the Saints" have and as
Ellie will probably play in the out
field. 1t looks like DUNCAN.
The Saints" Will be full Of GIN
ger and will not look as dead as some
people think they will. Manager
O'Hara, Coach 'Pick" Mullen, and
every regular will be on hand to
help the Saints" win. 1t will be a
desperate attempt for the State
street who mean to do or die.

A manager has not yet been elect

likely that when one Is chosen and

SEASON ENDS
AT HELMETTA
Team Puts Up Good Game
But Loses in Ninth.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Helmetta, Sept. 5:-The locals
closed their home season with a de-
feat Monday afternoon when they
were beaten by the All Stars, Of New
Brunswick, in a closely contested
game by a 6 to 5 tally. The Helmetta
bunch were leading throughout the
contest, despite the fact that the All
Stars were making things interesting
in every round.
1t seemed that something would
happen if the Brunswickers got
working right-but they didn't get
working right until the ninth inning.
In that spasm, with the score s to 2
against them, the college town bunch
crossed the pan four times, which
gave them one point to the good
when the war was ended and Hell
meta had lost the game.

South Amboy may have a basket
ball team on the court this season
and every student of the school is
happy over the thought. Prof. Paul
8. Miller, who is the new principal Of
South Ambey high, is enthusiastic
over athletics and knows not only
how to coach teams but to play the
games as well. Prof. Miller will be
in a position this season where a lit
tie effort on his part and that OF the
student body will bring about the
certainty of a representative basket
ball quintet.
Never has South Amboy been rep
resented in basketball circles and the
supporters of athletics in the school
have always bemoaned this fact.
They had to be content with reading
about their rivals in baseball

1t will be different this season. South
Amboy will soon hurl a def to nearly

that there are few If any teams from

not of the calibre which the Audito-

feel disappointed. However, they
