This is the first big week IN the realms
=, philadelphia basketball The Eastern |
yndustrlal and Germantown Leagues are IN |
t,u blast the American League had an |
susniclous opening last night at Natatoriu!n |
Iii and Coach Lon Jourdet, of the Uni |
ssrsitv of Pennsylvania, had the Red and |
plue candidates report at Weightman HAN |
In the Eastern League many changes in i
che league standing are due to take place
last night the triple tie for the leadership !
WAS broken when the Jewels defeated |
che potters in the Trenton Armory. Camden |
a. row running second and Trenton, by Nir- |
,,o of its defeat went down to third place |
1ust 100 points ahead of Reading.
Judging the Camden team by the games 1t |
has played since the opening of the season,
II is almost a certainty that Henrys men
will defeat De Neri tomorrow night at the
Armory II that contest is turned into
Camden victory, our friends from across
the Delaware will again he tied with Tren-
Ton for first place Should De Neri he able
10 turn the tables on Camden, IL will be
the first win for Dudley's team this season.
Basketball fans over the Eastern League
circuit are we'll pleased with the action
Of the Eastern League moguH last night
in Trenton when they abolished the cumber-
some double-oficial system. This season
promised at the beginning to be the biggest
year of the league, but it would not have
been If the umpire had been retained.
Followers Of the game were loud in their
condemnation of the system, and it did
not take the Eastern League owners and
managers long to find out that the sooner
they eliminated the second official the better.
After the league had decided to work
two men in the cage 1t was the proper
thing to give It two weeks try-out. But
that was sufficient. and the fans can rest
assured that the games will be speeded up.
Big Crowd at Trenton
Nearly five thousand people saw the Tren-
ton team go down before Jasper last night
In the Trenton Armory. The reputation of
the Jewels for speed attracted the great
crowd which was one Of the largest that
ever attended an Eastern League basketball
game. The fact that the PotterS were de-
feated by the score of 90 to 13 did not seem
TO dampen the spirits of the fans i'm the
least They went to the game expecting to
sss whirlwind contest and they saw it,
Fox and Friedman, the guards Of the
Jasper team played wonderful basketball
on the defense. They allowed the home
club to score but two field goals in the forty
minutes of play. Franckle got one goal
IN the first half and Frost who replaced
Tome in the final period, annexed the second
Trenton was also strong on defensive
play The Jewels though victors, were lucky
TO get five field goals, Hough and Sedran
got two each for the visiting club and
Friedman shot the other.
i Penn at Work
Coach Lon Jourdet. of the Penn quintet,
stated last night, after looking over his
material, that he believed the team would
DC iuIly as strong as it was last season, in
spite OF the fact that Lou Martin would not
oe able to play until the midyear examina-
lions were over, if then
Ihere were nearly seventy candidates for
