WHO WILL HOLD
DOWN REYNOLDS
IN T. A. c. GAME
Will It be Carver, Cline,
Pagnod, Heiles or Belts?
Much Conjecture,
KEEN RIVALRY EXISTS

"Who will play center for the T.
A. c.. quintet when this aggrega-
ton opposes the Riversides on the
Auditorium court Friday night?"
Is a question now going the rounds
not only in this city but also over
the Island. Manager Larkin's tao
tics in the last few tussles in which
he has used nearly everyone but his
"Gold Dust" guards at the pivot
shows clearly that the throttle is
giving him some moments OF un-
rest. 1t would be a safe bet to say
that Cline will be the choice for
that position. Yet ONE point out
and reasonably SO hat Pagnod
would be just as we'll to the T. A.
C. aggregation at center, since the
r. A. c. management would be able
to shift Carver or Preacher to the
side partnership Of Bedell.
1t is nearly certain hat Bill Rey-
nolds will be given the assignment
to the pivotal center on this accession
although 1t would not be at all sur
prising to see Corky Durham on the
Job at this post. In either case, the
T. A. G. forces have a considerable
amount to worry over unless they
get Heiles or some n Of equal
calibre to fill the apparent vacancy.
In Cline, the Islanders have a "stick-
er"-one who is not likely to win a
game by his good shooting but a
tosser who is likely to keep the OPP
posing squad from winning the fray
and thereby giving his teammates
the opportunity to decide the issue
in their favor, il they are but able
to locate the center of the shreds.
There is one thing certain and
that is that the Riversides will be
represented by six tossers: Regain,
Burns, Allen, McCreery, Reynolds,
and Dunham; and that four of the
T. A. C. tossers will be: Pagnod,
Macan, Paugh. and Bedell. Who
will be the fifth?

TRY TO
BIG FEAT

They're off again! Dem River
sides" will try to duplicate the novel
stunt they performed during Turkey
Week." when they won two games in
one night--one on the Auditorium
court and the other down in South
River. The city champion tossers
have arranged to try the same thing
over again Saturday. This time
there will be more novelty inasmuch
as the local cracks will be in a tus-
sic on Friday night too, making
three games for the crew in two
nights. For those who cannot un-
derstand the situation we offer the
following schedule: Friday, p. M,
Riversides vs.. T. A. C. in Auditorium;
Saturday, S:45 p. M, Riversides VS..
Seasides in Auditorium; 10 p. M,
Riversides VS.. South River Five on
Yates court.
The large crowd of rooters who are
usually present to witness the match
es between the Black quintet and the
city champions will find it more CON-
Portable waiting on this occasion than
they did Thanksgiving Day night.
as Manager Black promises the usual
heat and dancing in Yates hall, there
by assuring everything of conVen-
fence. 1t is very probable that a bat
tie between two classy Junior teams
will be staged as a preliminary so
that the doings will be of a feature
variety on this most important event.
VIII the "Rivies'' wallop the South
Riverites is again the question. No,
say the up-county fans who have
great faith in their tossers and be-
lieve that this game which is the
fourth of a five game series, will go
to their favorites. The record now
stands 2 to l in favor of the local ag-
gregation. A victory for the South
River clan will put them on even
terms, { while a defeat would go bad.
They will line up in their strongest
form, as will the city champions.

|MPERIALS AND
SEWAREN PLAY
TO 49, % TIE
Rough Game on Yates Hall
Court in South River
GamsIy Fought.
SEWAREN CLAN Is CLASS

Jimmy Blacks Imperials and 81
monsen's Sewaren basketball team
battled to a 22-22 tie last night on
the Yates hall court before a fairly
large and enthusiastic crowd, who
cheered nearly every moment during
the warfare. The Sewaren clan
showed very fine form, but the rough
tactics practiced in the battle was
not to their liking and that is proba-
bly, why they did not get the verdict.
Every sport that witnessed the fray
gave favorable comment about the
playing of the Sewarenites.
Manager Black regretted very
much that the visitors were subject
to a rough game, as treatment at
the hands of any team with which he
was connected, but showed his sports
manship when heoffered to allow the
Sewaren clan their referee. However,
the boys from the little Grab Beach"
joint had no one to use as a referee
and SO Black had to allow the Off
cial to arbitrate, despite the fact that
this referee called very few fouls.
The Imperial and Sewaren teams will
probably meet again to decide SUI
premacy if the South River manage
ment guarantees a good referee.

REFLECT
SHEA FOR
MANAGER

At the general election of the
T%ottenville Athletic Club for the en-
suing year Cornelius Shea was chos-
en- baseball manager for the season
of 1913. 1t is likely that Mr.. Shea,
who has the power of appointing an
assistant, will once more name Willis
Larkin. This duo were in power
during the last season of baseball
and everyone in these parts knows
of the decided success of the island
baseball tossers. There is no doubt
about it, Shea and Larkin were re-
sponsible in a great measure for the
splendid showing of their favorites in
the world of sports. Arranging his
games in such a manner so as to
keep his clan in smooth operation
and at a consistent gait, he was able
to go through the season without the
necessity of cancelling games, which
nearly every squad does at least once
during the season.
Manager Shea is very optimistic in
his talk of the baseball season next
year and especially SO in regard to
the T. A. C.'s chances in this branch,
If his clan shows the speed and clev-
erness that they displayed during
their last life in baseball they will
be making a success, although the
genial manager expects a great i'm
provement over last year, in which
EAST it would mean that the Totem
vile tossers will be out of the class
of most of the teams in this vicinity.

CANA S|GMAS
SCORE VICTORY
IN SOMERV|LLE
Defeat Company M--Raye
RosssIer, Ramsay, Henry,
Browning and Hornsby.
FINAL TALLY Is 20 IA

Playing in brilliant and speedy
fashion, the Cana Sigma basketball
team, which was formerly known as
the Dens, easily conquered the Som
erville Company M Juniors on the
latter's court in Somerville Satur-
day night by a 29-14 score. The
locals had their regular lineup as
did the Somerville clan who found
early in the game that they were
up against e better proposition than
they could battle with and still keep
the lead.
Right from the start the Cana
Sigmas forged ahead through the
clever shooting Of Barney Browning
and Austin Hornsby. Fritz Roess-
Ter and Tommy Ramsay showed
class in their manner of handling
the sphere while "Chick" Henry was
his usual clever self in the familiar
ity with the pellet. 1t was an easy
matter for the local aggregation to
spot the center of the shreds while
the home team was unable to come
across with but IA counters.
The Cana Sigmas are a private
organization which has the Roessler
Gymnasium as it's headquarters.
Thorough the fine and great amount
of practice allowed this bunch, they
have been so advanced in the sport
as to able to trim many of the
juniors crews if but fair sportsman
like and clean tactics are used.

HAS
III OUT
OF TEAMS US
Looks Like Sure Champion
Of Scoring Factors--I
Also Crack Tosser,
STAR IN LEAGUE SERIES

Although Harry Schwartz, that
famed tosser formerly of Puritan;
Neptune, and South River ranks, is
not much before the limelight of the
general sporting fraternity at pres
ent, he is a distinct hero and star
and recognized as such by enc fac
ton of sportdom in this burg. And
this fraction is the Y. M. H. A..
supporters and followers. These
have seen their star warrior drop
the object sphere through the net
and make the shreds whistle so of
ten that many times n would think
he was playing a musical instrument
instead of shooting baskets. 1t has
made little or no difference to Harry
whether his chances in the Y. M. H.
A. games have been the field or from
the foul line. "They have vent
that's ALL" And if you have any
doubt about the facts just mentioned
just review with US his record in the
games in which he has figured in
the league series.
In the the first battle of the year,
he tailed thirty-nine points, thirty
six of which were from the field! 1t
was in this tussle against the Bronx
Y. M. H. A. that he dropped the
pellet through the ring from nearly
every angle imaginable. His oppon-
ent although a speedy tosser was un-
able to check Schwartz's mad pace
at getting to the ball and letting 'er
fly for the cage where she usually
recorded her presence by demanding
two points for Harry.
There appears to be no need Of
any worrying on the part of the
husky throttle performer who has
proven such a capable engineer. He
has the scoring championship in the
league practically cinched. In the
Brownsville game he tailed twenty
counters and in the Soutt Brooklyn
the mark was sixteen as was that in
the Yonkers fray. His lowest tally
was in the league match at Bayonne
when he scored ten of his squads
twelve points. At Mt. Vernon in the
other travel game, he was able to
record sixteen points. While it is
usually poor policy to feed any
individual, it is a conceded fact that
Y. M. H. A. aggregation is benz
fitted by this policy or at least has
been thus far.

WRITES OF HIS
TEAMS CHANCE

Herein are the rawlings of Manager
Dolan, of the Seaside basketball team
who writes about his favorites'
games for this week, n In New
Brunswick and the other here:
"On Wednesday evening the Sea-
sides will journey to New Brunswick
where they will stack their forces
against those of the Catholic Club at
that place. From their playing In
the last St. Mary's game they are
confident of victory. Although AL.
Mcintyre was hurt in this game 1t is
hoped that he will be able to be on
hand. In the st. Mary's game, Nc
Intyre was knocked OF pushed into a
wire netting at n end of the hall
and received a nasty cash the whole
length of his forearm and his knee
was also cut. Hennessey, the fast
forward Is now back in the game and
the Seaside rooters are backing their
team to win.
ION Saturday night the Seasides
will travel to the Auditorium and
meet the Riversides. This is the
game the Seaside crew are looking
forward to, as they know they will be
lining up against one of the best
uuintets in the country, when they
oppose the city champions. The
lanky "Al." Mcintyre will as usual
be seen at center. His playing is
well known to the basketball fans
and whoever opposes him will have to
go a fast pace to get the honors.
Hennessey and Price viii be stationed
ut the forwards and this combination
are working in fine style just at pres
ent. The Seasides have Peters to
rely on should either OF this pair not
live up to expectations. At the
guards Breidenback and Solheim will
take their stations with Bernstein
and Robinsoa on the side lines wait
ing their chance to enter the fray.
Don't forget the Seaside rooters as
they will be there toe and they have
many.

C00DWILLS ARE
MINUS 2 STARS

Manager Joe Plass, of the Goodwill
basketball quintet is having his trou-
bles, no doubt, in getting a quintet
to wear his crews colors to oppose
the South Amboy A. c. on Knights of
Pythias court in South Amboy to-
night. John McCreery, who support
ed the orange and the black last
Wednesday for the first time and Bill
Reynolds who has been a tower of
strength in the Tiger" camp will not
be on on edge for the fray tonight.
Both players have excellent reasons
for not taking part in the hostilities.
The Goodwills will have Joe APP
plegate, Frank Durham and John
Sullivan, while the rest of the crew
is not known as yet. A bunch of
rooters will accompany the team.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Admissions that Judge Robert w. Archibald offthe court of commerce had been interested with him in a deal for the "Katydid culm dump" near Scranton. Pa., and would have profited from the sale of the property, were drawn today from Edward J. Williams of Dunmore, Pa., before the senate court of impeach- nent which Is trying the jurist for al legged misconduct.
 Friend Of Judge for 30 Years.
 MT, Williams was the first witness Judge Archibald. Standing at the clerks elevated desk in the senate, and facing Judge Archibald. who had been his friend, he said, for 30 years, the aged Welshman became a silent wit ness for part of the time to the duel between the house manager and Judge Archbald's lawyers as to what evil dence and what testimony should be admitted before the court.
 Alleged Influence on Erie Road.
 Chief interest today centered about the first article of the charges which alleged that Judge Archibald had ex- erted influence upon officers of the Erie railroad, which then had a light craze case pending in his court, to compel them to give an option to Will Hams upon it's portion of the katydid refuse coal heaps owned through its subsidiary company, the Hillside Coal and Iron company.
 Archibald to Receive Half of Profits.
 MT. Williams declared Judge Arch bald had nothing to do with getting the option, further than to act as his friend and recommend him to the off, cers of the Hillside company. Later, however, under the questions of Rep- resentative Webb of North Carolina, he said Judge Archibald would have

TO REMEDY CONDITIONS
 ON THE MEXICAN BORDER
May Be Purpose of Senor LascuraIn's
 Visit to Washington.

Washington, Dec. Alt is believed to be entirely improbable that Senor Lascurain, the Mexican minister for foreign affairs, who is now on his way to Washington, will find the oppor- tunity for rest which he is reported to be seeking. Instead it is probable that he will feel called upon to enter at once into the negotiations which are now in progress between the United States and Mexico regarding the sit uation on the border and the generally unsatisfactory condition of American and other foreign interests in Mexico.
 Last September Secretary Knox ad- dressed to the Mexican foreign officers a strong protest against the continu- ance of the well nigh intolerable con- ditions that had characterized the long drawn out rebellion. There was an in- sistent request at that time for in formation as to what steps were to be taken by the Mexican government to terminate these conditions, the impli- cation being that the efforts of the federal troops to stamp out the re- bellion had been half hearted and pur- poseless.
 The Mexican governments reply to this inquiry is said not to have been fully responsive or of a character to inform the Washington government of what may be expected, or to indicate that adequate measures have been taken to bring the rebellion to and end and relieve the great foreign business interests in Mexico from the ennbar- rassment to which they have been sub- tected for nearly two, years.

JUSTICE GoFF DIFFERS
 SENTENCING OF HYDE. Different Reasons Assigned by Prose
 cution and Defense.

New York, Dec. 4.-State and de- fense in the case of Charles H. Hyde, former city chamberlain, received a surprise in supreme court today when Justice Golf, instead of sentencing Hyde for the crime of bribery, for which he was convicted last week, de- ferred this action until Dec. Il. He did this after hearing argument and reserving decision on motion to ar rest judgment.
 Interpreting the courts action, Hyde's lawyers believe they gained a point in their fight for their clients freedom.
 The district attorney, on the other hand, understands that sentence was deferred on account of the grand jury investigation which is being made into alleged faveritism shown to Hyde while in the Toubs since his convic- ton.
 Should the motion for an arrest of judgment be granted, Hyde will so free and cannot be tried again on the same charge. Nor will he forfeit his citizenship or be debarred from prae- ticing his profession, the law. The record that he was convicted for brib- cry would still stand, however.
 Immediately after Hyde had been rendnQeQ ID Iue 1O11DS WILuUuI Ddlls Justice Golf directed the special grand jury to proceed with its inquiry into alleged favoritism to Hyde since his conviction. William J. Wright, depu- ty commissioner of correction, was the first witness. Two Tombs keepers and two newspapermen also were exam ined. The investigation will be re- sumed Friday morning. The grand jury is expected to visit Hyde in the Tombs before he is sentenced next Wednesday.
