PALACE HALL WITH
/. PARISH HOUSE FIVE
New Organization Will Inaugu-
rate Basketball on Old
Goodwill Court Tonight.

The big grand opening Of Palace
hall as basketball court is due to
take place tonight. when the newly
Parish House Five of Woodbridge,
likewise one of the late birds of the
season.
Woodbridge Is coming down strong
and they are out with the old Wood
mridge and Parish House spirit, wini
But the City Five are just as confident
that they will take the honors tonight,
and they want to make the first game
a victory for certain.
The line up of the City Five will be
the same as formerly played as the
Goodwill Arrows There viii be Gus"
Loeser and Dutch" Holzheimer at
guards; Concrete Web" Miller at the
pivotal position, and Ears" Fiegan
and Mickey" Loeser as forwards
The men on the Parish House team
will be the old familiars in basketball
in that place: Reyder, Ed and Henry
Simonsen, Potter and Thompson. The
suburbanites are starting rather late,
but they feel that with sufficient prac-
tice, they will be able to come up to
the standard of teams In this section
and rise to the calibre presented here
abouts. They have their home court
in Woodbridge, and will play games
there shortly. There was no team at
the Parish House last year, but they
expect to make up for lost time with
this years representation.
The side feature tonight will be the
usual dancini which takes place In
Palace hail every Wednesday and Sat-
urday night.
Joe Plass, formerly first class ref
rec at the Goodwill games when the
Arrows and the Goodwill teams plnw-
ed will be the official tonight. Joe
is a EHod official and will probably
please all visitors with his decisions,
as we'll as sthe home team.
County league Sounds Good. 49,.
The idea of county league, inciud-
ing all first class teams in this coun-
ty, as we'll as TottenvilIe, seems to be
a sound proposition to the managers
of the City Five. The subject has
been broached previously and there
seems to be considerable sentiment
among the various managers and
teams for the formation of such a.
league. Manager Peterson, of the Y.
M. c., Manager Hoffman of the River
sides and Manager F1egon of the City
team are all in favor of the move, and
want to see 1t started. Fiegon sug-
gests a loop to include all of the best
teams in Middlesex county and the
IL. VI tCdlu VI 1OtLeINlltS. by the
county teams he refers, he says, to
the Parish House of Woodbridge, the
st. Peters Y. M. c.. the Riversides,
Sterlings, knights of st. Peter of New
Brunswick, Michelins of Milltown and
any other teams of similar strength,
which may spring up from now on.
Leagues in the past have been a
success, both from the players stand
point and from that of the f1nancier.
The games attract better than the
ordinary pasttme. particularly where
the teams are we'll matched. as seems
to be the case with many of the teams
N this section.
A meeting of the managers of the
teams is all that is needed for a &C.
menting of the affair. and 1t is likely
that they will gather about the peace
table shortly and fix up schedule
for the games to be played.
Tontght's game at Palace hall, In
conclusion, will start at o'clock.
