ELBECO QUINTET IS
FAST AGGREGATION
New Basketball Team Has
Bright Prospects. for Sue
cessful Season.
HEARD ON THE COURTS

The neWly-organfZed Elbeco Five,
composed OF employees of the L.
Bamberger Company, bids fair to be
one of the leading teams hereabouts.
The popular indoor sport has mani
tested itself with the employees of
the store, and as result they have
intentions of putting out a first-class
team. The welfare committee has
provided the third floor in their old
building as a special recreation place
for their employees for the winter
months. One part will serve as a
gymnasium, while the basketball
court will also be used for dancing.
Wilbur Crelin, the popular, hustling
local manager of the Meadowbrook
baseball nine, will act In the role of
manager. AS there is plenty of talent
to be had, there is every indication
that the new local quintet will rank
with the best quintets in these parts.
Manager Crelin also has intentions of
forming a tournament with teams
from each floor, for the purpose of
producing talent to supply a first
class team. The new team will be
arrayed in new uniforms of purple
and gold. Some of the performers
will be Johnny Conlon, captain of the
Ironsides, and Gussie Kroeger, of the
Dominicans; Frank OFT, who halls
from the Newark Turn Verein, and
Frank Ross, of the Seventh Regiment
team, of New York The committee
has selected Tuesday evening to play.
Dancing will also be. INDUCED in.
First-class teams desiring games and
series of games should address Man
ager Wilbur Crelin, 202 Bigelow
street.
It is said that the Sacred Heart
Holy Name will put a team on the
court. Plymouth Hall, at South Or
ange avenue and Richelieu terrace,
will be used as a clubhouse and bas-
ketball court. There is some good
talent in the Vailsburg section, such
as Henschel, who for the past few
years has been performing with
Kingston in the Hudson River
League; Johnny Conlon, last years
captain of the Oak Leafs and Domini-
cans; Tom Garrigan, OF the Ironsides;
Matty Garrigan, of the old famous
Entire Nous, and Willie Sullivan, of
the old Newark Big Five that finished
second to the Buffalo German Y. M.
c. A. for the worlds championship at
the Buffalo n-American Exposition.
AS each year presents itself Bill
Mckinley, the local boy, becomes
more efficient in the basketball art
His work this season thus far sur
passes the rest of the local players.
He is at present performing for Bay
View.
Garrabrandt Of the Essex County
Hospital quintet, is one of the biggest
men in the game There is doubt as
to any of the local centres abolt to
out-jump him.
Les Whelan, who two seasons ago
played with one of the Bayley Lyceum
teams, is now playing with the Essex
County Hospital team.
At Bay View Hall tomorrow after
noon the Wheelmen senior and junior
teams will play the two teams repre-
senting the Point A. c., of Bayonne.
The Anchor quintet took the meas
ure of the Alcos. of Forest Hill, % to
8. at New Saenger Hall, last night.
The playing of Weber for the winners
featured.
Wallace Kussmaul Of the Bay
Views, is at present the best goal
shooter in this vicinity. He is also
playing for Paddy Michigan at the
West Hudson Auditorium, with the
Entire Nous.
Mintz, the New York boy, who was
greatly in demand by. the local teams
three seasons ago, put up his usual
good game last week against the
Turner's. He performed here for the
Dominicans and Xavier teams.
Iapizen, of the National Turner's,
is a very fast man and accurate
passer. He is slightly off in shooting,
but evidently a few more games at
the Turn Hall will put him on edge.
Its rather mean that the boys from
the Dominicans have to be deprived
in that part. therefore the directors
was resumed last year with great
success. 1t always has been success
in that part therefore the directors
should provide a court for them, as
they have the best talent in the city
there.
The Point Athletic Club Big Five
PLAYED the st. Michaers Y. NJ. G. G.
at Elizabeth Wednesday night, and
after q fast game defeated them by
the score of SO to 3S. At no time was
the ST Michaels dangerous, the Point
team holding them safe at all times
with their fast passing and clean
shooting. On Saturday night the
Points will 20 to Tottenville, n. Y.
to play the Tottenville A. c., and on
Sunday will play the Bay View
Wheelmen at Newark in the second
OF their home and home series.
