Close Fight for First Place
in Eastern Basketball League

Camden, Reading, Trenton and
Jasper swing into next to the final
week Of the Eastern League basket
ball campaign today with the title
hanging on the brink, within reach
of all four, but just far enough from
their grasp to make the reaching a
most difficult feat to accomplish and
to hold. The pennant belongs to any
of the fighters with Camden at pres
ent having a slight advantage over
the other three.
Reading and Trenton are the real
dangerous ones to Camden, and the
former now looms up especially omi-
nous to the Shelters. If the Reading
players are fit they are sure to make
a desperate effort to repeat their
performance of last year.
On the schedule Camden and Tren-
ton have the bulge on Reading, for
the two Jersey clubs have two games
Mt home and one away. while the
Pennsylvanians have but one at
home and three away. Figuring upon
homo favoritism Reading is up
againstait, but as they are undoubt-
eddy the best fighting team when
away from their own wooden way
they cannot be counted out of the
chase by any means.

MANY LOCAL BOYS
IN AMATEUR FINALS
All but Eight of Contestants for
State Titles Are
HOmesterS.

Thirty bouts are left in the New
Jersey State Amateur Boxing Cham
pionships, which are being conducted
by the National Turn Verein at their
club house on Bruce street. They will
be staged tonight to determine the
winners in each of the six classes.
Eight out-of-town boxers are still left,
and they comprise some of the cream
of the tourney. The Turn Verein has
six men left, having lost but one man
in the try-outs, and then only by rea-
son of his drawing a clubmate. The
Puritan A. c., another local club, also
looms up strong, as they still have
five members left, and they are bank
ing on carrying off several of the
titles.
The 10S-pound class ought to prove
n hummer, as the four boys who are
to fight it out for the three medals
are all very clever boys. They are
Michael O'Gara, Puritan A. c.; Leo
Elvin, unattached Paterson: Louis
Rose, Seventh Ward Social Club, of
Newark, and Phil krug, National
Turn Verein.
The 115-pound class has eight men
who are considered to have the best
chance fighting it out for the honors.
The contestants are Joseph Burns, of
the Puritan A. c., and Albert Thomas,
National Turn Verein. Jacob Fried
man, Y. NJ. II. A., of New Brunswick,
will meet Joseph Burns in the first
bout. He is touted as a clever boxer
and may prove to be the dark horse
The 125-pound class also has eight
men competing, with the chances of
an out of-town man getting away
with first prize, although the Turner's
are roofing hard for Tommy Urban
who is quite a shifty boxer.
James Shanahan, unattached, New
ark, and John Jarecki, Bay Beach A.
C., Jersey City. are picked by the
fans as the main contenders for the
title in the 135-pound class.
The 145-pound class should furnish
some of the best bouts of the evening,
as Jean Mason Smith, of Princeton,
the present 135-pound state champion,
is one of the main contenders, and, in
form, ought to again be returned the
winner.
The 158-pound class bouts are ex-
pected to prove hummers, as there
are four husky lads left who are about
evenly matched, although the chances
of John Martin, Puritan A. c., are
liked.

BLOCKS BIG DEAL
Giants, Phillies and Braves Fig
ured in Trade Halted by For
mer Quaker ShOrtstOp
CUBS SALE A MYSTERY

Much mystery surrounds the Chi
cago Cubs so far as its new manager
is concerned At the banquet to the
world tourists on Saturday night
Adelor J. Petit, chief justice of the
Circuit Court, of Chicago, told the six
hundred or more baseball fans pres
ent that he was glad that the new
owner of the Cubs was a Chicago
man. Continuing, Judge Petit said
that John T. Connery would bring
back the popular Johnny Evers and
Manager Frank Chance to the Cubs.
Nearly every one in the banquet
room was led to believe that Connery
had purchased the Cubs. AS soon as
the deal is put through it will receive
the sanction of Governor Tener.
One of the minor" details that is
blocking the sale of the Cubs is the
Evers- Sweeney-P erdue deal. Before
Mr.. Connery takes over the Cubs he is
anxious to find out what recompense
the Chicago club is going to receive
for the loss of Evers's services. Mr.,
Connery wants the National Leauge
to return EYers to the Chicago team.
If he is successful in his quest the lit
tie Trojan will once more be the
manager of the Cubs.
A four cornered deal, which will in
volve the Giants. Cubs, Phillies and
Braves. probably will be >the final set
tlement OF the famous deal. 1t was
charmed yesterday that by Mike Doc
Ian signing with the Feds he not only
blocked a deal between the Giants
and Phillies. but also between the
Phillies and Braves.
President Baker, of the Phillies. was
to have received a pitcher from Nc
Graw for the veteran shortstop. and
this hurler. with another player, of
the Phillies, was slated for the
Braves. In return the Phillies were
to be the recipient of Captain Bill
Sweeney to fill the vacancy left open
by the departure of Otto Knabe.
