ROOM 3 FALLS
BEFORE bEEFF ORE SCRUBS
Grammar School Boys Make
Fine Showing in Practice.

Room 3, grade eight of the gram
mar school lined up against a strong
scrub team yesterday afternoon on
the Brogger diamond. When the
dust cleared, the schoolboys had the
short end of a 1910 score. Most
of the opponents of the grammar
school lads were high school players
and the others were grown-ups so
that the showing of Room is COM
mendable, giving their elder oppon-
ents such strong hold for nine long
innings.
Harold Peck, formerly of the high
school. was the mound performer for
the victorious clan and his twirling
was SO effective as to be an import
ant factor In the victory for his team.
Lewkowitz. who worked as the pellet
singer for the losers, also showed
classy form on the mound but was
forced to succumb before such mighty
opponents as faced him, the scrubs
being entirely out of the class OF the
grammar laddies although the game
would not indicate this.

HOW POPULAR WINTER INDOOR
SPORT GAME WAS ORIGINATED

To the many persons who enjoy a
well contested basketball game the
origin of the pastime is more or less
a mystery, but to the few who have
followed it since its very inception
basketball is an open book. Basket
ball was first thought OF by DR..
James Naismith, of Trenton, about
twenty-one years ago. Naism1th is
now the Director of Athletics at Kan
sas University. In the early nine
ties, when he planned the game of
basketball. DIR. Naismith was the di-
rector Of gymnasium work at the
Springfield (Mass.) Training School
Naismith has followed the game
closely and Is today member of the
intercollegiate basketball rules COM
mittee.
Work in the Winter time, at the
Springfield School, consisted of mass
drills and set exercises, very benefic-
iai, but monotonous and tiresome.
The students took no interest in the
work, shirked and were on the verge
of a strike.
DR.. Naismith realized that II he
could only make the students take an
interest in the work there would be
mo more trouble. He thought the
way to do this was to arouse the
spirit of competition among them,
and accordingly in the Winter of
1892 set about deyising an indoor
game to take the place Of the mon
otonous mass drills.
He had always been an admirer of
the game of lacrosse and used this as
"a foundation. He first of all elimi-
mated the sticks and reduced the size
of the goal. making the players pass
and forbidding running as in la
crosse. This proved unsatisfactory,
for when big fellow stood in front
of the small goal 1t was impossible

Lovers of the manly art" in this
city are roofing and cheering with
might and main for the passage of
the Kerwin bill which If passed will
legalize boxing in New Jersey. OF
course, every other burg in the state.
that has ever had boxing shows or
anything Of similar nature, is doing
It's share In showing favor towards
the bill which sporting fraternity
hopes and believes will soon become
law. Many of the pessimistic fans
feared continually that the bill woulo
not dodge the assembly but since 1t
has passed that house, 1t is expected
that the senate willw find no objec-
tion and finally that Acting Governor
Fielder will affix his signature to the
document.
Perth Amboy will no doubt be
greatly benefited by the measure il
made law. For at the present time,
those from this city who like the box
ing game-and there are many of
them-must travel to Tottenville,
Rosebank, or New York, to see b
boxing stag. When the bouts were
allowed in this city, they were held
in the Auditorium. 1t is safe to say
that there are no places on Staten
Island and few in New .ork city and
in this whole state which can COM
pare with the Auditorium as q show
house for boxing stays.
Since boxing activities in this vicin-
ity have been shifted from the Audi
torium to the Pavilion in Tottenville
the game has lost several hundred
followers. For In the Auditorium,
very large crowds could be accom-
modated and the place was always
well heated, well lighted, and had
everything else which pertained to
comfort. The many "greenbacks"
which have been flowing into Island
soil and which would be sent to this
burg II boxing were legalized amount
to great stacks and 1t will be talk
ing Perth Amboy" II everyone boosts
the Kerwin bill.
1t Is almost certain that should
the bill become law. the Pavilion
will be abandoned as the stays would
be held at the Auditorium and with
shows being run In Rosebank. it In
practical to believe that there would
not be enough support for the Pavil-
lion shows.

appointment of five commissioners
from different counties for terms Of

COUNTY SEAT 5
AFTER SECOND
Try for Honors in Hiqh
School League.

New Brunswick high school has
two more games for the season in
basketball, one of which will be
played tomorrow night in Wood
bridge. The other will be contested
with the South River school boys
Friday.
Tomorrow nights clash In Wood
bridge is of great Importance in the
league warfare. Should the county
seat band record victory, the w. H.
S. team will lose its chances of win
ming the league championship. The
New Brunswick team Is anxious to
annex the fray as they believe they
will even be able to nose Wood
bridge out for second place, should
they cop the fray tomorrow night.
Both crews will line up with their
regular make-ups.

I DR.. Naismith then made -. - =
radical change. He raised the goal
ten feet from the floor, so as to make
it impossible for one big fellow to
block it entirely, and an old peach
basket was used. Soon 1t was
thought best to get large ball and
a foot ball bladder was tried. This
proved too soft, so they shifted over
to an association foot ball, and the
present basket ball Is little changed
since then.
This scheme of competition proved
immensely successful and all trouble
about getting the students to exer-
cised ceased. They liked the game
at once and soon they plunged into a
series of class games.
In 1893, the game was taken up
for similar purposes In many GYM
nasiums throughout New England.
In 1894 Yale took 1t up and since
then it's spread has been rapid, until
today it ranks as one of the leading
sport in schools, colleges and athletic
clubs throughout the country. The
professional clubs took up the sport
about 1897. The New York team
was the first team of Pros" There
have been some changes as the game
progressed, but, on the whole, the
rules today are almost identical with
those devised by DR.. Naismith back
in 1892. The ball, the basket and
the lacrosse rules against running
with the ball are still the basis of the
game, and are practically the same
now as then:
Leaders in intercollegiate basket
ball work did not know that Dr. Nal
smith was the inventor of basketball
until he attended the meeting last
Fall. The subject came up and in
the discussion Dr. Naismith talked Of
his work, Then he was appointed on
the Rules Committee.

more interesting than perhaps is ex-
pected just at present.
While the "Rivies" will have a
crowd of rooters who will accompany
the team on the 1892 o'clock boat
from this city. there is no doubt but
that the Island fans will greatly out
number those from the Jersey side.
However, the local rooters expect to
make a lot of noise. Dancing will
be enjoyed as an added attraction.
