BY SURE SHOT

The st. James Triangles, Of Sleeps
head Bay. l.. l., can offer no excuse
for the defeat handed them at the
hands of the knights of Columbus
Five, of Harrison, at Rentscher $
Hall, Harrison. last night. The score,
% to "a, indicates that the contest
was close, but at both passing ana
eoal-caging the West Hudson com
bination outp1ayed the classy Ions
islanders, who were up until lase
night. announced as champions o.
the East" That title no longer rests
with them.
One could not declare the knights
champions, but they come pretty near
it. The Triangles have walloped me
Crescents, of Paterson, who, by the
way. play the knights at Harrison
next Thursday night. They admins
tered drubbings to the Trenton CLUB,
of the Eastern League, and also
Johnstown, the former champions OF
the Central League.
It was predicted before the contest
last night that Il would be run
away for the Triangles, and II the
Knights did win they would use foul
tactics to do so. Such was not the
case. The Harrison lads played ala
Eastern League, and the fouls COM
mitted were only due to holding with
both hands. The rules were strictly
enforced by the referee, William Sui
ivan, who officiated to the approval
of all.
The game was fast and exciting
from the very start and during the
whole forty minutes things were run
off in the most approved fashion. The
St. James lads, who are used TO a
large space for play, had it last
night. and even before the game the
pivot man, Ruckert, said his team
would be at it's best. They probably
were but the knights played just q
little better They passed the leather
to one another as they never did be-
fore, and the visiting team did not
display anything at all that was not
shaded by the Knights.
Larry Pagan, to the surprise OF
many, played the greatest game OF
his career. He abandoned his usual
roughness.
Al half time the knights led by
the score. of 16 TO 10. Centre Man
Stumpf securing four goals from tbs
field. Johnny Biegner did excellent
work in the final session. The entire
X. of C. team, in fact, is to be com
mended for their wonderful and ever
remarkable showing against a team
that had beaten practically every
thing in sight.
It was the second game of a home
and home series. Each team has
won a game The third and deciding
contest will take place at Sheepshead
Bay tomorrow night. The lineup:
K. Of c. Triangles.
