camden crept on the Jasper team last
rivnt by trimming the Trenton team for
tho second time this week. Un Monday
evening the Skeeters mapped the we'll

,he excellent field goal shooting OF Jimmy
provu Last night Jimmy was again in
evidence lie not only shot three goals
fronn the field but his work on the floor
was superb, and while he was credited
with only one assist, several more might
hs given him " they couId be placed In tho
category OF subassists, for his passing and
drlbbling were pair of the main features
of the contest, in which Trenton went down
TO the dirge OF 80 TO 81.
Good Team Work
Throughout the game Camden displayed
the best team work OF any hve that has
played in the Eastern League this season
This was particularly true OF the hrst halt
and in the plays which ended with Degans
two field goals. Jim Brown, who has nl-
ways been considered Rs an individual
player did splendid work with hts team
mates and played the game exactly as It
should be played. The only long shots he
tried were made after there was no chance
for him to do any passing to his fellow
players.

Jasper at Nonparel Hall wins. Camden

League race but IL the Jewels win they
will still hold the first position. with six
won and one lost to Ave won and one lost
for Camden,
Armstrong Ineligible
The controversy in the Industrial League
over the status of Armstrong, of the Fair
banks Ave. has been ended temporarily at
least by the declaration OF his ineligibUity
by President Franklin. The leagues head
for 10 riilpg Of
the cage organization to the letter.
In the bylaws OF tho league It is plainly
stated that no man will be allowed to plhy
on any team in the circuit who is not regu-
larly employed at the factory he represents
on the basketball floor. After all OF the
facts were in the hands of the president he
decided that Armstrong was not regularly
employed by Fairbanks.
Blow to Fairbanks
Armstrong; absence will be a severe blow
to the Fairbanks team and greatly reduce
their chances tonight in the games
scheduled with the Dobson team. This eve
ming the Big Red team Will probably line
up with Hill and Rutt at the forward posi-
tons: Wilson. center, and Anderson and
Riedasch or Dougherty at guard. Manager
Jones has decided to use Anderson to do
the foul shooting in place OF Armstrong
Although the Fairbanks team is very
good on the offense, Dobson is just as pow
erful. Lees who will do the foul tossing
for the East Falls team, last week shot
nineteen out Of twenty-three in the game
against Standard Roller Along with Lees
at forward tonight will be Homewood,
Morehead will jump center with West and
Kindon at guard.
The other game this evening at the
Quaker City Hall is likely 10 be run
away affair with Standard Roller doing the
running. Standard will be opposed by the
Disston quintet. which has not won con-
test yet. with Pike, Wilson, Brown. Graf
and Fitzpatrick going at their present pace,
Manager Kane predicts that his team will
be in first place early in December
The Dlsston team will be weak until new
blood is injected into the lineup
