BASKETBALL TO Be
PLAYED At YIN. H.A.

Plans for physical work to be re-
sumed at the Young Mems Hebrew
Association are under way with the
formation of the boys gymnasium
class yesterday afternoon, and the
attempted formation of squads of boys
and one of girls for basketball teams
The first call for basketball practice
has been posted on the bulletin
board at the assoc ociation signed by
Leo Schwartz. No other authority
has been found for the bulletin, but 1t
Is understood that active steps for the
formation Of girls and boys teams are
under way.
The Y. NJ. II. A. hall, which is used
as the home court, will also be used
for practice by the boys teams on
Sunday mornings from o'clock un-
til 10 o'clock and the practice of the
girls teams will be held there on
nights when the hall is not in use
from until 9 o'clock.
There will be four teams in the as
sociation and games are to be book
ed as soon as possible so that the
home season can start.
Whenever the asso citation has play
ed basketball, they have had a sue
cessful team, both in the old audito-
rum court and on their home court
at Mcclellan and Smith streets. In
past seasons they have finished well
up in Y. M. Fl. A leagues in this state
and New York. and prior to the
leagues their team played the best
game in the city against the Puri-
tans and such teams. The old team
under Harry Schwartz which played
several seasons ago, and that on
which Ben Goldberger played prom
inent part, were among the best quin-
tets ever put together in the city.
With the material now at hand, 1t
Is hoped that an organization as
strong as the old, can be gotten to-
gether to represent the association on
the court. There Is an abundance Of
material among the members, partic-
ularly those who are on the high
school squad, and those eligible to
play outside of that squad.
Gym Glasses Sta-t.
The gymnasium classes for boys
started yesterday afternoon, when a
large number of the more youthful
members showed up for the primary
practice session.
The classes will be organized as
soon as they have reported in suff-
cient numbers, and will be rounded in
to shape as has been done in past sea-
sons. Secretary Will NJ. Menaker
will have charge of the work, with
an efficient corps of directors or lead
ers working under him.

Standing in Industrial League

The Postoffice quintet pulled the
unexpected last night in the Y. NJ. c.
A. Industrial League, when they won
three straight from the A. s. and r.
bowlers. who held the leading posi-
tion. AS a result of the defeat, the
A. S. and r. team is now tied for first
place with A. 4. G. five and both
have six more games to play to COM
plete their schedule. one match of
which will be between the two teams.
The Postofflce in their present posi-
ton have an excellent chance to make
triple tie for first place or even
to go into the lead itself
The postoffice has but three moro
games to play and those are with the
s. U. c., team which has not won
a game thus far in the league. It Is
generally expected that the Feds will
take three straight as proper way or
ending their schedule. If they should
accomplish this. it would give them a
final percentage OF 1852. Nothing
can be learned as to the final standing
of the leaders until they have bowIed
A. 8. and II. VS.. the r. and II. and the
A. 7. c. VS.. the r. c. W., each leading
team should win only two of three

Office maintain their present average
This punching of three teams for
first place honOrs at the close of the
league promises to leave some inter-
esting games to be bowled within a
week.
Clarence Hoffman, star lead off man
for the Feds, put Tom Smiths high
three string score OF 572 in the shade,
by hitting for SIT In tho match, on
average of 172. He managed to get
two double centuries. 215 and 213, but
fell down in THE first game when he
got 149. Howard Hope made the only
other 200 score of the night with 207.
jenkins hit we'll for an average of
179 and Eyerkuss made an average of
173.
The first game was the closest of
the match, it depending entirely upon
Eyerkuss whether it could be won or
not. Bill Pemberton blew a spare

the spare, but could make only seven

by two pins. The other games were
won by safe margins Splits on the
part of the losers and strikes for the
winners were the features of the
night.
The last. game of the postofice five
was the second highest yet bowled in
the league, being only four pins be-
hind the A. T. C.'s best game of 90.
Hoffman's high scores for the night
should pull his averages up consider
ably.
No games are scheduled to be
bowled tonight but tomorrow night
the r. & Fl. and G.. A. teams will

What promises to be the biggest
match of the league will take place

Y. NJ. c. G. K p. Best of Enemies;
Evenly Balanced As Haig 6 Haig

The threatened invasion Of the st.
Peters parish house by an army of
spectators is reported as bigger than
Funston's brigade. If the crowd is
any larger than last weeks. they'll
need India rubber walls and sky
hooks to hold 'em in. And the ex-
citement over the game will be as
keen as an Ever Ready blade.
The Y. M. G. and the x. of p. are
the best of enemies on the court, but
when schools out they're perfectly
normal Ten apparently sane young
men will proceed to assault and bang
each other about the court in an
attempt to prove superiority in bas-
ketban. And the willing populace,
ever anxious to prove the axiom, will
be there with the sheckels and part
with them willingly to flip the light
fanatic, and see the third tussIe
staged with Rossi Peterson as mana
ger in charge. Rossi is apt TO have
several lawsuits for the ruination of
shoes tomorrow, and with shoes at
their present price he'll need to float
a loan to keep things going
The meeting will be held half way
between Thanksgiving and Christmas s
and both teams feel as charitable as
a hungry panther. They won't con-
test any Of Pete CampbeIl's decisions
except those they don't like and past
experience has taught that they like
every seventh one.
In the general frameup at St
Peters, they will have an additional
regiment to send against the Knights
when Luke Oliver steps onto the
court If Luke plays. and he's a reg
iment in himself. he will be one of
the bid aids to the team, although
they have a thoroughly capable
