The Brooklyn Football Climb, with
practically a new team. appears TO be
in a fair way of retaining the cham
pionship Of the National Football
League, which they captured incl
dentally last season. in addition to the
l. $. +. A. cup. At any rate, il has
lost no games so far to any of the
rival teams in the league. which is
composed. TO large extent, of New
Jersey clubs.
For good and sufficient reasons, the
Brooklyns moved their headquarters
from Marquette Oval in Brooklyn to
Harrison Oval, the home of the West
Hudsons. at Harrison, n. J. The re-
strictions placed around a Sunday gate
in the City of Churches Brooklyn
were chiefly responsible for the step.
Evidently the clubs in New Jersey
felt that their legitimate territory was
being encroached upon. so they set to
work to legislate against this move of
the Brooklyns.
The Brooklyns are "peeved" because
this was done after the season was
we'll under way and after their ar
rangements for the year had been fully
made and their chance to find quar-
tiers elsewhere was past The team
continued to play its league games
until. finally, their contest with the
Paterson Rangers, at which Ma
tonal League referee oficiated. was
thrown out by the league delegates at
a regular meeting and each club hned
SIS. SO far neither has paid. in con-
sequence of which the game between
the Paterson Rangers and Clan Nc
Donnlds. scheduled for to-day at
Marquette Oval, has been called Of by
the league.
The Brooklyns appealed the case to
the United States Football Assocla-
ticn, but the matter was referred IN
turn to the Southern New York As
ISOLATION and the New Jersey State
League.
Two cup tie games within handy
reach of the metropolis command the
