HAS BERTH IN LEAGUE
COP
VICTORY FROM
CATHOLIC CLUB

Poorly played, but full of snap
and vim, the game between the
Goodwills, of this city and Catholic
Club of New Brunswick, afforded
much chance for cheering as the go
ing was close throughout. The To-
Gals finally landed the bacon by a
1916 tally. The initial period re-
suited 1873 in favor OF the home
sters, while the final Stanza was
fought at even terms, each crew col
lecting three field goals and one
foul.
The visitors showed little streaks
of team work While the Goodwill
combine had nothing of this at all.
Deegan, of the Puritans, aud Burns,
of the Riversides, worked as guards
and between themselves they pass
ed the ball in fine style. But they
were off in shooting. Neither re-
corded one field goal, although each
tried as many shots as the for
wards.
J.. Harkins performed in strong
style in the final administration, ac-
counting for the rally of the county
seat warriors. He scored the six
points for his team in the last half
and his three field goals were made
from difficult angles. Leo Harkins
played as well Is any nan on the
court.
Joe Apologize was off in shooting
and Tooker did little floor work.
However, Applegate came across
with the winning t~allies, making the
basket that tied the score and the
foul and field goal which gave the
home clan the three points lead.
He was unusually weak in foul
shooting.
Young Johnny Carroll performed
as referee.

WEAK GUARDING
COSTS
QUINTET LOSS
Make Good Showing in Red
Bank But Are Defeated
by 24-18 Tally.
FORWARDS SHOOT NINE

Loose guarding cost the Perth
Amboy high school basketball team
a victory in Red Bank yesterday at
ternoon according to those who wit
messed the fray from this burg as
we'll as the score book. The final
tally of the battle was 24-1S which
Is by no means a poor showing.
However 1t is the belief Of manager
Brace Eggert that had his guards
been in top notch form or even in
crimson and white would have rec
orded a valuable victory instead OF
having a defeat registered against
them.
The Red Bank aggregation kept
ahead most of the time but never
did the warriors from down state
way keep SO far in the lead as to be
termed sure winners. 1t was only
the gong, which signalled truce I'M
til the next game. that decided the
victorious band-Red Bank.
The initial administration result
ted 11-6. However in the final
frame, the locals pushed their op-
| ponents harder and the score for
that stanza was 1912.
Kaplowitz and Belikove, who are
usually good guards, did poor work.
Their opponents recorded nine field
goals while together they scored
three. They made too many attempts
to shoot instead of attempting to
keep their forwards from scoring.
i Koohs worked In commendable
order.
Here are the make-ups:

Out for Material
Jack Bird
is Leading.

There Is a strong sentiment
among the members of the Marion
Athletic Club favoring and also
urging that this organization Re rep
resented on the baseball map next
year Jack Bird, who Is a prominent
and popular member of this club, is
at the head of the movement to or
ganize a fast nine-one which will
bring as much glory to the Marions
as did their championship baseball
aggregations of yore.
One thing which would probably
assure the organization of a fast
Marion team can be done by Joe
Mullen. If this clever pellet singer
should show his intentions and in
terest In favor of the Marion nine
and should assure that he will be a
member of the aggregation, 1t will
be the easiest matter in this burg
to get a ball nine to represent the
Marions.
At present this old organization.
which Is noted above all. for its
prowess in baseball circles in not at
all In the limelight In athletic activ-
files. And as the club Is supposed
to be an athletic one, the members
are emphatic In their demands for
a representative squad.
AS Jack Bird, who is leading the
organization forces. has made an
early start, 1t is probable that the
blue and white will again be hon
ored on the baseball diamond In
1913.

When the first stag Is held, the

likely that Young Johnny Carroll
