MARINE ESTARS
SOME TOSSERS
Big Sensation on Basketball
Floor; How They
Trimmed Camden

Those Marine tossers are some
cage stars. The Giants had to go
some to beat the Camden team.
They may find the Independents
iard to beat Saturday night. Here
is one story of that game with Cam
den.
Showing system play that was
surprising to the Camden followers,
the United States Marine Corps, of
League Island, succeeded in defeat
ing the Peerless Kid five at the p.
Il. r. Y. M. c. A. in Camden last
night by the score of so to 23.
Peerless Kid was led by Jimmy
Brown, the former Lacquer, and he
presented a lineup that looked like
the probable winners before they
started, but the Marines showed
wonderful improvement over their
recent games, passing and cutting
for the basket in such fashion that
il bewildered the Camden boys at
times. Twitchell and Bradley were
the leading stars of the game play
ing with the Marines. Both play at
forward.
Bradley Some Star
Bradley was opposed to Jimmy
Brown and it was Bradley's duty to
keep Brown out of the play as much
as possible, which he did to perfec-
ton. Not only did Bradley perform
this part we'll but he managed to
break even with Brown in the scor-
ing, each man getting two goals.
Twitchell was the leading scorer.
Opposed to Eddie Newman, who is
considered a pretty fair guard.
Twitchell hit the net for six goals
during the forty minutes of play.
He landed four in the first half and
two in the final period.
There were so many spectacular
plays, the most notable being when
Bradley took the ball from three
Peerless Kid players and scored a
goal. Twitchell wound up his SEN
stational scoring by batting in a goal
on Newman. The Marines made a
triple pass for a goal in the second
half that reminded the fans of the
famous passing of the former Cam
den team. Kurtsman got the jump
on Longstreet. batted the ball to
Bradley, who made a lightning pass
to Twitchell, who had cut for the
basket, the latter scoring. The
blocking of Dougherty and Wilson
saved many opportunities for Peer
less Kid to get the ball near the bas-
ket."

MACK WHEATTO
JOIN BROOKLYN
Will Be Regular Dodger This
Year; Ready for
Training

Mack Wheat, the boy who played
behind the bat for George Cockill
not long ago, is going to be a Brook
lyn regular. The former Harrisburg
star has signed contract. James
A. Snyder quit the dodgers" This
left an opening for Wheat.
He sent the document from St.
Joseph, Mo-, and enclosed a note in
which he said that he will report to
Manager Robinson at Hot Springs.
Young Wheat is a familiar figure
on Brooklyn training trips. Mack
has been south of the Mason and
Dixon line with the Brooklyn club
quite frequently in the last four or
five years. However, the youths in
experience caused him to be sent
back to the minors.
Was Sent Fronf Here
Mack came to the Brooklyn club
from Harrisburg. His talented
brother, Zack, touted him so highly
that President Ebbets agreed to take
him South. His principal weak
ness was with the stick After a
season in the West, he went South
again with the Robins. Last year he
was sent to Binghamton.
Injuries which worked havoc with
the regular lineup of the Robins,
gave Mack a chance to play more or
less regularly the latter part of last
season. With Johnston and Myers
cavorting around the infield, Mack
was called upon to replace Zacl1
when the latter's leg went back on
him.
Mack's stick work showed mater
ial Improvement but he is somewhat
of a weak brother with the ash.

experts the country over, will ac-
complish much good if it does moth

of motorists to the Importance of

Younger, the question of stopping is
