Camden at Greystock
Readings hopes of passing the leading
Greystock quintet I'm the Eastern League
basketball race were at least temporarily
sidetracked last hight when the tail-end
Jasper quintet defeated the Bears by
score of 35 to 81.
Manager Kennedy's Jewels played more
like leaders than tail-enders. II was the
first local appearance of Fuller, the
Former Paterson star Of the Interstate
League. who was signed when Bill IIum-
mer decided to return to his home at
Butler, Pa. Fuller flts in nicely I'm the
team play of tho Kenslngton quintet.
He Gagged one field goal last night, made
timely assist TO Sedran and held Andy
Sears, the star OF the Reading team, to
a single field goal
Fuller Is by no means a stranger TO
his teammates. Several years ago he
played on the Newburgh team in the
Hudson River League with Sedran and
Friedman. Before joining Jasper he spe-
cialized In playing guard, but he dis
played sufficient skill last night to war
rant him regular place at forward.
Sedran was the star of the contest for
the Jewels. He registered six field goals
though guarded by Morris, and con-
verted Is out of 81 fouls into points. The
Reading team was unable to make much
progress against the close guarding of
tiit JdSDtlSs stars WAS OIL IOTln III IOSS-
ing fouls, bagging IL and missing s.
The defeat of Reading boosted Grey
stocks lead to 2la games. and enabled
Camden, occupants Of third place to ad-
vance within game of the Bears.
Manager Edward r. williams Riverton
basketball team in game played in
Roberts Hail. Riverton, last night de-
feated Manager Steedle's hometown
team by the score of 60 to %.
Williams passers have been sweeping
almost every team along the circuit in
out-of-town affairs and last night the
townsmen OF Jersey were given an oppor-
tunlty of seeing the sensational machine
in action in the new hall. which will here
after be the home dribbling floor for
Williams cham IONS.
Greedy and De Maris. perhaps tho fast
est pair of forwards in the Independent
circuit, displayed wonderful accuracy last
night in mixing passes and shooting field
goals.

The Camden City League Is going along in
frst-class shape, even though the league doesn't
get lot OF publicity.
Billy. Hummer reinstated into the good graces
Billy went back to jeanette and he is going
TO stay there.
There isn't a chance for Lou Sugarman to
desert Greystock. He didn't go to Reading
last Saturday night because he was bumped
pretty hard on Friday night and there was
no use OF walking into danger two nights in
succession. Greystock without Sugarnan Is
like a ship without its rudder.
Sugarman is attending the dental school of
the University OF Pennsylvania and he couldn't
very we'll play on a New York State League
team and attend his classes at the same time.
Tome Institute plays it's basketball games
in a gymnasium with dirt floor, quite natur-
ally the ball isn't as lively as IL Is on a board
floor and teams who are accustomed to fast
smooth floors are apt to be fooled on the
dirt floor at Fort Deposit.
