NEWARK DROPS OUT
OF STATE LEAGUE
Difference Between Manage
ment of Team and Palace
Ball Room the Cause.
WON FINAL CONTEST, 1913

Newark didn't last long as big
league town in basketball. Players
representing this city in the New
York State League were notified after
their contest with Syracuse last night
that no more league games would be
contested at the Palce Ballroom. Al
though the real euse for stopping
league games here was announced by
the management as lack of patron
age, 1t was understood that the best
reason for disseminating the pastime
was lack of harmony with the Palace
management and the basketball man
agement. Then. too, the crowd
which attended the games were not
of the best class, and this had some
thing to do with the Palace manage
ment calling off games.
Whether another hall will be OBJ
tained by Manager Frank Morgen-
week, of the locals. is uncertain. At
present no court is in sight Morgen-
week, it is believed, was also dis
satisfied with the way things were
run at the Palace Ballroom, and even
before the game last night he talked
about securing another available
place.
Newark players put big feather
In their caps by defeating the strong
Syracuse quintet, 80 TO %, at the
Palace Ballroom last night in a New
York State League game. Never be-
fore had the locals shown a better
conditioned team, and 1t was a sure
treat to the patrons Of the game
to see goal after goal scored by the
winners. Syracuse presented a fast
team and held the Newarkers well in
check during the first few minutes of
play. 1t was not long, however, be-
fore the locals got going, and with
Joe johnson in grand form the locals
held the long end of 22-15 score at
the conclusion of the first period.
Joe Johnson was perhaps the star
of the game. Time and again he
rooted through Syracuse's defensive
play like water in a sieve. scoring
eight field baskets, the majority of
which were on the sensational order
Ira Streussland, the local captain.
also made a good impression AL
though scoring but one field goal. his
assisting was a strong feature in his
teammates tallying points. Barry,
who is now a regular, managed to
squeeze through from field goals Of
the lengthy range variety. Eberlein,
the new addition to the local team,
having been signed in place of Hin
schel, who was fined by President
Schaefer, of the Eastern League for
playing outside ball. put himself in
right with the fans at the start. He
had two field baskets. McWilliams
at centre opposed a hard man in Mat
thews of the visitors, but did we'll.
Mac" had three field goals and had
several other chances to score, but
in trying to hurry them fell down on
numerous shoots. Penino, the local
goard, did not arrive until the second
hat, replacing Eberlein. Fields was
substituted for Streussland during the
closing minutes. For the losers Lamb,
Matthews and Fuller were the chief
point makers, scoring four, three and
two field baskets, respectively.
The game was fast from the start,
and owing to the fine goal caging
