With Trenton on
Friday
HOUGH TO PLAY
In CLOSING BATTLE

s.The speeding Brownson band of
cage artists will climax their season
on Friday night, when they stack up
against the touring tribe of Trenton
Eastern Leaguefs. The Librarians
have had the most successful year
since their existence, and will put
forth every effort to land the final
encounter with the professional ag-
gregation. The lads from the Jersey
shore have been cleaning up every
thing in sight since they have been
ON the road, and have not yet tasted
defeat
The roaring invaders will send their
tried and true regulars to this city
and the bread-winners will pull OF
everything in their vast curriculum
of basketball knowledge to come out
victorious The series is now dead
locked, Trenton having landed the
initial conflict of the era, and the
Brownsonians grabbed the other
struggle The sand boys will be In
The running from beginning to end,
and the local wonders will have to
step some for forty minutes If they in-
tend to win out.
Harry Hough, heralded as one of
The greatest players that the game
has ever produced, will be at the
helm. and the peerless leader will
again show his sterling skill to VIII.

The cage art for a dozen years, and
his many admirers claim that he is
still as good as ever. In the official
scoring averages, the mercury-footed
and cunning pilot ranked among the
top-notchers, and would have been
still higher If his hand had not been
injured This accident prevented him
from acting on the black line towards
the fag end of the 1913 period, and
robbed him of seventy points at least

strengthened considerably.
Peter Riley, the battle-scarred vet
eran of a couple hundred struggles
or more, is the little demons running
mate for the engagement, and the
Old-timer, with his remarkable free

mix-up. In his day. Pete was as gooC

Bobby Maham. the cool, collected
