Grip on SchOOlbOy
Championship.
PENNINGTON BEATEN TWICE

Peddie Institute is having most
successful basketball season. The
Hightstown quintet has yet to expe-
rience its first defeat, although it has
played six hard games. Lawrence
vile, Pennington, Swarthmore fresh
men, Crescents of Trenton and Wes-
ley School are among the teams beat
en-. Pennington has been met twice,
both of which games resulted In land
glide wins for the Blue and Gold.
"a Lawrenceville was defeated on its
home court In the first game of a
home and home series by a score of
81 to ID. This triumph virtually gives
Peddie the schoolboy championship of
the State. Lawrenceville, a formula
bic opponent on its home court, was
the only rival besides Pennington.
A comparison between st. Benedict
Central and Peddie is practically i'm
possible. as the down-State teams
play collegiate rules. st. Benedicts
would be able to put up far better
game at this style of play than would
Central. The High School boys
strength lies in their speedy play.
In game where the A A. u. rules
are literally interpreted it is thought
that entral would be handicapped. In
support of this contention the Ruth
erford games are offered. Central was
defeated by the Northern New Jersey
leaguers, while st. Benedicts regis
tered a victory.

May Cut Racing Season
at Saratoga Springs

Dates for the coming racing season
will be definitely fixed by the stew
ards of the Jockey Club at a meeting
TO be held late this afternoon. The
dates were decided upon some time
ago, according to the usual custom.
when the various associations Sdat
contemplate holding meetings agreed
upon a schedule. The action of the
stewards is merely the placing of the
official stamp OF approval on the
plans of these associations. The sea-
son will begin with the meeting of
the Westchester Racing Association
at Belmont Park May 90
1t is assured that the Saratoga AS
ISOLATION will be awarded dates for
the month of August, but it is posi-
BILE that the association will not
make full use of that time. Efforts
have been made to have the mer-
chants and others in Saratoga, who
are directly benefited financially by
the sport, come to the assistance OF
the association. Letters have been
sent out to these merchants, the hotel
proprietors and others of the viii
lage, and while there have been some
very favorable replies, it has been
said that the racing season at the
Springs may be curtailed unless the
substantial support of the village is
obtained.

ST. BENEDICTs.
Fans Await Result of
Game at Central High

Central High School will play
Rutherford High School this after
noon on the Central court in a bas-
ketba1 game which will do much
toward settling the discussion of
whether or not the recent victory
over st. Benedicts was due partly to
a falling off in form on the part of
the Benedict boys. Such a question
was raised when the Benedicts went
to Rutherford and defeated the
Northern Leaguers on their own
court. Central had previously met
defeat at Rutherford, loss which
was attributed to the non-adherence
to strict A. A. U. rules and the small
court of the Rutherford quintet. The
Benedicts were also handicapped by
the latter, but they proved better at
the liberal rule game than Central,
and, therefore, registered a win.
