With five factors present, the
most important session of the Mid
dlesex County Basketball League
was held last night in the headquar-
ters of the Y. NJ H. A. in Smith
street. Everything but the adop-
ton of schedule were among the
finished business at last nights
meeting. The only reason a sched-
ule was not compiled was because it
was not decided or learned whether
South Amboy or Sayreville would
be represented in the league. How
ever, committee was appointed to
learn of the Intentions Of the South
Amboy and Sayreville teams and
draw up a schedule accordingly.
The league is now practically as
sured.
South River, Milltown, New
Brunswick and Perth Amboy were
represented. Chairman Mershon
presided Immediately after the
meeting was opened, the representa-
tives started their gruelling work
with the bylaws. The members
present last night worker SO hard on
the rules that after the session end
ed, every one of the representatives
was confident that very strong set
Of rules had been adopted and no
one seemed to desire change. The
league, according to the sentiment
OF every magnate present and the
chairman as we'll. who is very en-
thusiastic over the leagues work,
expects to enforce her stringent
rules very rigidly.
In the bylaws there has been pro-
vision made SO that cancellation and
postponement will practically be
barred from the happenings of the
league. A fine of So has been placed
upon every team for non-appearance
unless inability to reach destina-
ton due to poor railroad connec-
tions is the reason.
Every team will be required to
post SIS with Mr.. Mershon, who Is

team representing the South Amboy
Neptunes will fight to The very last
ditch for success. Schwartz and
Miller will also try their utmost to
defeat their opponents. The quintets
seem evenly matched with neither
squad having the advantage of the
playing space, since Schwartz and
Miller are accustomed to the cou.t
as are Canton and Deegan Of the
Neptunes. Every one in South AM
boy is expected to see how their new
team will show up and will cheer
their favorites on to victory. The
Neptune teams have not had the
proper ginger as yet and all they
want is a good start and with a VIC
tory tonight, the Neptune colors will
no doubt be kept in the sacred por-
tails for many moons to come. 1t Is
safe to say that not a better team
could be chosen from this side of
the county than the one which Dave
Wilentz will present for Manager

CUNNERS PLAN
HUNTING TRIPS
Sportsmen Will Leave About
November | for Game.

With the cunning season close at
hand, many sportsmen from these
parts are beginning to pack up and
declare another vacation. The sea-
son begins Nov. and already several
of the notables from these parts have
signified their intentions of depart
ing for game.
"Pop" Pagnod, of the Tottenville
A. c., is one of the many who will
leave November 1 for several weeks
of cunning. The T. A. G. basketball
team will be without Pagnod's SER
vices for the first few weeks Of their
season because of this fact. Pete
Larson, manager of the Sewaren A.
c.; Marty Snyder, of Woodbridge;
Albert Smith, of this city, and Law
renee Larson, of Sewaren, are also
planning hunting trips.

Saint Anthony's and Ath|e-

Hostilities between the Saint
Anthonys and the Athletics for fire.
mems day, october "a, as proposed
by several of the supporters of both
teams, have been called off. accord
ing to Manager Marty O'Hara, OF the
locals. Interest in baseball has prac-
tically died away, despite the fact
that several classy attractions might
be booked.
Football, basketball and soccer are
demanding and receiving the atten-
ton of the sporting world these
days and it is right that they should.
Baseball has been allowed to reign
during her assigned period and is not
desired until next season, when once
more the rivalry between the differ
ent mines in this county and the un-
settled championship will further be
fought for.

Blacks Lins-Up.

According to the latest reports
Harry Schwartz, the husky center of
last seasons Puritans, and the for
mer pivot general Of the Neptunes,
will be in South River war togs for
the rest of the season. Harry will
play with Jim Blacks crew tonight
against the Neptunes, Of South Am
boy, and is expected to be at the
throttle in every engagement here
after in which the Neptunes are a
party. Here is how the South River
boys will line up from now on: Mil
ler and Armstrong, forwards;
Schwartz, center, and Smith and
Taylor, guards.
"Roe" Taylor, of last seasons X.
o. X. A. quintet, will be in South
River togs for the coming season
and will officiate at guards posi-
ton. When Schwartz is absent Tay-
lor may jump center. Smith, of the
Crescents, will be one of the guards,
Taylor's side-kink. With this line
up the fans from South River see
nothing but victory hereafter.

At the first real reorganization
meeting Of the Puritan basketball
team, held last night, Joe Mullen
was elected manager of the quintet
and Martin Anderson assistant for
the coming season. 1t now appears
a certainty that the Puritans will
play basketball this year and if they
do it is a conceded fact that they will
be one of the most important factors
in the county. North Amboy fandom
will once more have a favorite squad
to cheer for and the quintet which
Joe Mullen will manage will be one
worth while roofing for. Just glance
over the names of the list of candi
dates for regular berths: Deegan,
Schwartz, Jimmy Canton, Frank
Sullivan, Willie Eagen, Hank Thom-
as, Frank Durham, "Non' Miller
and M. J. Schiker.

"GoIna Out to See a Man.

Artemus Ward, about half through
his lecture, announced a recess for
fifteen minutes, so as to go out and
see a man." III. r. Tracey. a Wash
ington editor, seeing an opportunity
to improve upon the joke, sent these
lines to the platform:
Dear Artemus: II you will place
yourself under my guidance, I'll take
you to see a man. without crossing
the street"
A restaurant keeper at that time
in Washington was named Aman, to
whom Ward was taken, and found
Aman luxuriating at the well-laden re-
freshment board. Everybody caught
on" to the phrase. and, getting up be-
tween the acts and going out to see
Aman" became contagious.

JOE MULLEN ELECTED
PUR|TANS' MANAGER

With nine such warriors to start
the season off, the Puritans can even
expect as brilliant season as they
had last year. The Puritans will
probably have either Goodwill hall
or Kozusko hall for their home
games. 1t is not likely that they
will join the county league circles,
for Johnny Deegan, and it is expect
ed that Jimmy Canton, will play
with the Perth Amboy Five in this
organization.
A ball is being planned for the
benefit of the basketball team.
Michael Deegan has been chosen
chairman of the arrangement COM
mittee and Vincent Riedy will act as
his assistant. Enough money is ex-
pected to be realized from this affair
to clothe the Puritan basketball
quintet with new outfits.
