swENsoN WITH READING.
Morristown Athlete Now Playing Bas-
ket-ball in Eastern League.

Walter Swenson, formerly with the
Morristown A. A. as pitcher, has
signed up with the Reading manage
ment in the Eastern league to play
basketball. Swenson started the sea-
son with Camden and was traded by
Camden to Reading for "Rube" Cash
man but he refused to report. This
made the trade invalid, but Reading
sold eastman outright to Camden
later on. Swenson went to Paterson,
and has been playing a splendid gam
ever since. Swenson has come to
terms and will play with Reading.
Swenson was sore on the Eastern
ileague when he got in bad with the
Camden management. 1t appears
that he signed contract in which
he agreed to report for practice, but
Swenson says he did not notice this
in the document at the time. When
he failed to report for one practice
he was fined and the amount of the
fine was deducted from his pay en-
velope
He claims Heron and Dolin, of the
Camden team, never see each other,
except on the nights of games and
that in being fined he was discrim-
mated against and said he would not
play in the Eastern league unless the
fine was remitted. Reading has ap-
parently slipped Swenson the change
deducted by the Camden management
and has secured his services.

Matthew Cramer Wants, Recompense
from Former Employer.

Judge Salmon, sitting in Common
pleas court Friday, heard the applica-
tion of Matthew NJ Cramer for COM
pensation under the employers liza
bility law for alleged injuries he re-
ceived in the blacksmith shop of
George M. Lanterman, of Mt. Free
dom, on October 2nd of last year.
Cramer was employed as a black
smith by Lanterman and claims that
while shoeing a horse the animal
stepped on his foot and in conse-
quence he has been disabled ever
since. Mr. Lanterman's defence was
that if Cramer was injured the acci-
dent did not occur in his shop and
put witnesses on the stand to testify
that at the time the accident was said
to have happened Cramer had said
nothing about it nor had it been
noticed by others in the shop. Pros
ecutor Charlton A. Reed was counsel
for CIamer and David F. Barkman for
Lanterman. Judge Salmon reserved
decision.

Proof was offered that the church
property could not connect directly
with the sewer and that if it could the
sewer would not be low enough to
carry off the water.
