1t is not known as yet whether or
not there will be a basketball game
here this afternoon between the local
high school girls quintet and an out
side team, because there has been
some difficulty in arranging the sched-
ule. Miss Francis Hance, manager
of the girls tcam, had a game booked
with the lassies from keyport high
school, but she has been Informed by
their hat they are not GER
tain of getting q team together to OPP
pose the local girls this afternoon,
This game was scheduled in the lat
ter part of last weo< and was agreed
on by both parties, but the Keyport
manager telephoned yesterday that
the contest was in doubt.
This will be q big disappointment
to the local fans, because they are
anxious to see the girls in action, and
it seems that fate has interviewed every
time there vas 10 be n game. because
the girls have not played once this
season. There is great difficulty this
year in securing an opponent for the
crimson and white girls' team. because
so many of the high school girls in the
state have given up the sport as far as
girls are concerned. Efforts have been
made by Miss Hance to C another
team to furnish opposition for the
girls this afternoon, but from all re-
ports so far, her efforts were of no
avail, so 1t probably cannot be ascer-
tanned till this afternoon whether
there will be a game.
The girls have been practicing hard
for the game the last week and this
week because they wished to make
their initial appearance on the bas-
ketball court a success. The girls
squad was divided into two teams yes

for today's contest. In the event tina

REVIVAL Of ALL
SPORTS DUE NOW
Army and Navy Life Has
Pointed Out to Thousands the
Need of Exercise

Sports and athletic events of all
kinds will be revived over the entire
United States when the boys who have
been in the service of Uncle Sam re-
turn to civilian life, because they have
had a practical demonstration in the
army camps and cantonments to prove
that outdoor recreation and also indoor
sports tend greatly to build up the
physique of any man and also enable
him to think more clearly than when
he had no outdoor exercise at all.
One of the first things that a re-
turning soldier is greeted with by his
acquaintances, is the remark that he
looks so well and so much better than
when he left civil life to take up the
daily routine of drill, exercise and hik-
ing with plenty of good wholesome
food to digest three times each day at
regularly appointed hours. Is 1t any
wonder that a man who has been in
one of the training camps looks so
well and robust? Not when we con-
slider what he has gone through. He
has been encouraged to be in the open
and breathe the fresh pure air as
much as possible. instead of staying
indoors In some stuffy quarters. He
has also been encouraged to indulge
in every kind of athletics that the
brain of man has been able to con-
ceive. AS a consequence of this great
life, intermtngled with the rig
i'd training and discipline, the boys are
returned to civil life physically much
better able to carry on the work they
left than they were before they en-
tered the service of the United States.
What will be the esult in our own
city? VIII the athletic spirit here be
revived. and a different attitude be
taken toward sports? From all pres
ent indications 1t would seem hat way
because nearly all the local soldiers
who have returned have already joined
the ranks of some basketball or other
sportlilSe aggregation.
The one sport hat will In all likeli-
hood become the most popular form
of amusement here In America is the
art of f1stic combat, which according
to all athletic instructors in the army,
is the best liked form of recreation
among the men in service. n the
thing which they would rather take
part in than any other sport.
Good, clean boxing is not to be
frowned on by anyone, because it
brings out more than any other factor.
the red-blooded American spirit,
which is the part of every r Ameri-
can. 1t is the spirit of good boxing
that make it so popular among the
men in the army and they will prob
ably demand that more attention be
payed by the American sportsmen in
the future TO events in the ring.

And most recent of the old Orioles

Gleason, has just been appointed to
head the Chicago White Sox.
Gleason has acted for several years
as assistant manager n there have
been many who claimed hat it was
he and not Rowland who put the
win in the White Sox of 1917.
Kid now has a nance to show who
did 1t.

ever had.

Gleason is a fighter, one who is out
to win. and who never knows his team

song on the last outer.
By the way the Kid is far from be-
ing one; but at that, he's only 81

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
F E ST. PETERS

The Crimson and White boys
basketball team started The New Year
in the right way yesterday afternoon
when they met and defeated by a
score of 1910 the st. Peters high
school five OF Jersey City. The WISH
tors led but once during the whole
game and that was at the very begin
ming of the first half when they scored
the first point of the game.
The local boys played rings around
the visiting team, having tho ball at
their own end of the court practically
all the time. The passing of the home
team and floorwork was exceptionally
good but the shooting could have
been better. AS a whole, however.
the team showed hat 1t is made of
championship material and with a
little more coaching and practice
should develop into the best team
Amboy high has had to represent il
on the court in several seasons.
What Amboy lacks in weight is
made up in speed and pep. No once
during the game. although the locals
had things all their way. did they let
UP on the visitors, thus giving the
game a chance to gro duh, but play
ed Just as hard during the las few
minutes of the second half as when
they started out at the beginning of
the game.
The Crimson and White team
started the game with Hansen at
center, Westcott and Red" Splitter
forwards and Gretner and Moe Spitz-
er guards. This organization was
maintained throughout tho first half
and part of the second. When It was
seer that the Jersey City team was
being beaten. two changes were made
in the local lineup. Cannon FIRST re-
placing Hansen at center n Flynn
later succeeding Greiner.
On the visiting Ave were Slane and
Baldwin, forwards; O'Brien, center
and Isbester and Tarrant, guards

game. This hard player made good
