Manager Myers, of De Neri has COM
pleted arrangements for the services or
Mic BOggiO, former Reading star, ana II
lie can get leave of absence from his posi-
tion at Holyolte, Mass, he will join the
downtown five Immediately. Boggio has
been playing three and four games week
since the opening of the season and he is
in splendid shape. Therefore he will be
able to jump into the game as soon as
he reports
but was not sent q contract this fall be-
cause it was understood that the brilliant
forward would not be able to play because
of his new position in Holyoke. Whether
the upstate team will protest against De
Neri signing Boggio remains to be seen,
but all the Eastern League magnates
are anxious to see "A strong team placed in
Musical Fund Hall, it is believed that Read
ing will waive claim to him.
Would Switch Lineup
The presence of BogGio in DE Nerrs
lineup would enable Manager Myers to
switch Bill Dark back to guard with Drey-
fuss and pair off Boggio with Norman at
forward AS Getzinger is star of the first
water, this lineup would give De Neri an
excellent chance to finish up with the
leaders.
a few years ago Boggio was recognized as
one of the best forwards in the game and
made a great reputation as a forward OH
the famous McKeesport team, which won
the Central League pennant and then cap
tured the national title by defeating the
Eastern and New England League cham
pions. AS Boggio is still n youngster and
has had more practice this winter than
in recent years, there is no reason why he
should-not be able TO show his old form.
Greystock and Camden will meet in the
Armory at Camden tonight The game was
scheduled for tomorrow night, but as the
armory was being used for other purposes
it was necessary to advance the date one
day. The Skeeters apparently are back in
the form displayed early in the season, and
should win tonight.
The Greys will be without the services
of Allie McWilliams again tonight and
with him out of the game the local team
probably will find it impossible to stop
the Camden machine. The Shelters are a
great home team, invariably rolling up a
large score on the armory floor, and with
the league leadership at stake they are
likely TO go at a speedy clip from start to
finish
Winnie Kineald, the veteran guard, re-
Gently signed by Greystock, will be in
McWiliams's place. Kncad played in
splendid form in his first game for the
Greys, and Captain Fogarty believes that
he will do just as well tonight. II he does
GreystoelS's chance for victory will be fifty
per cent better
