East Orange, "a Stevens, I.

Montclair High School continued its
winning Streak in the New Jersey In
terscholastic League basketball cham
pionship race yesterday afternoon by
defeating Barringer High School on
the Barringer court by a score of 35
to 20. Neither team displayed any
thing like late season form and con-
sequently the sluggist contest was
very uninteresting to watch.
By winning the game Montclair
tied with East Orange, which won at
Stevens, making an extra game neces-
sary to decide the league champion
ship. East Orange and Montclair
have each won a home game from
the other at home. The excess con-
test will be staged on a neutral court.
Montclair, used to a small court,
played a very poor game for team
of championship calibre. After the
first part of each half it slowed down
In pass work and the baskets scored
were the result of poor play on Bar
ringers part rather than Montclair's
brilliancy in the game.
Barringer played atrocious basket
ball. The Blue and White players
on several occasions gathered in the
immediate vicinity of each other and
prevented any pass work whatsoever.
When the ball was passed two Bar
ringer players would go after it, and
despite the two of them the leather
would generally go into the hands of
their opponents. The shooting also
was lamentably poor. Fully 80 per
cent. of the home teams attempts
went askew.
Montclair netted four points before
Barringer got one. After that it was
a stalling, pushing game, in which
Montclair rolled up a score of Is to
9 at half time. The play continued
in similar fashion in the final Pc
riod.
Eckert, a new Barringer man, was
easily the best of the losing lineup.
He scored six goals from the field.
Slocum, Taylor and Block starred for
Montclar. The summary:

East Orange High Schools basket
ball team kept the Stevens Prepara-
tory School five from securing a
single field goal in a New Jersey In
terscholastic League game played at
Hoboken yesterday afternoon, finally
winning by score of Sd to 8. The
East Orange team was far superior to
THE Stevens quintet in all depart
ments, and as soon as the game was
under way it was easily to see that
the East Orange team would have no
trouble whatever with its Hoboken
rivals.
Bob Shields, who leads the Inter
scholastic League in the number of
points scored, was the only point
scorer on the Stevens squad. OF the
eight points made, he scored seven of
them ON free throws. Stevens's other
count was awarded by the referee
for pushing while Stevens lad was
in the act of shooting for a basket
Although Shields gathered in all
the points scored by Stevens, he was
not in his usual form, as he account

sixteen attempts from the fifteen-foot
mark.

al point scorer of the day, locating

eight on field goals. Thistle, the run

tano, accounted for seven field bas-
kets a number being made from diff

Fischer, of football fame, played his
usual good game. Besides outjump-
ing Wharry, at centre. he Gagged five
field goals Ham" Meeteer played
a strong game at guard and also ac-
counted for four field goals. Captain
swift Barnes closely guarded
Shields throughout the whole game,

from Cincinnati last night. where he
visited Charles P Taft and tried to
buy the Chicago National League
baseball club. Mr.. Warner would not
say last night that he had bought the
club, but he stated that he had every
reason to believe that Mr.. Taft and
the National League would accept his
proposition within few days.
1t is understood that Mr.. Warner
is not alone in the proposed deal, New

with him. He would not say what his

Mr. Warner. Mr.. Taft is willing to sell
the stock, as he does not want to have
any active part in baseball.
The board of directors of the Ma

.FEDERALS AVOID
CONF L|CT|NG DATES
Outlaws Reported 10 Have
Reached Agreement With
American Association.
SEE END OF THE WAR

Followers of baseball believed they
read between the lines of STORY
published in Chicago yesterday. news
that organized baseball had virtu-
ally recognized the belligerency" of
the Federal League. The story said
that the Federals and the American
Association leaders had agreed to ar
range their playing schedules so that
conflicts in the two towns in which
they are both Representation
City and Indianapolis-wo be
avoided. Such an agreement would
indicate that the association. one of
the large leagues in organized base
ball, had decided not to make war
on the Federals, but rather had con-
cluded to enter into a working agree
ment.
President Chivington, of the assoc
citation, denied that any agreement
existed, but Charles Weeghman.
president of the Chicago Federals,
declared he had talked with Joe
Cantillon, the Minneapolis associa-
ton owner. and George Tebeau, the
Kansas City owner, and that both
had virtually promised there would
be no conflicts Neither league has
prepared its schedule, the associa-
tion's usual plan having been upset
by the transfer of the Toledo team
to Cleveland.
