RECREATION FIVE LOSES
To AUDITORIUM PLAYERS

The Auditorium Five of this city
won their eighth straight game of the
season here last night when they de-
feated the Recreation Five of
deld 1920. The visiting team forced
the Amboy combination to the limit,
being but four points behind at the
close of the first half Inc in the last
period tying the score at one time
and securing the lead. They failed
to hold or increase this advantage,
however, and the locals soon were
again in the fore.
The playing of the Auditorium
team last night was not up to their
usual standard, their shooting being
far off color while their team work
was ragged as compared to some of
the games which have beer put up
by them. Last nights game was the
first played by the Plainfield combi-
nation his season and considering
this fact their showing was satisfac-
tory. They were not able to locate
the basket very well during either
half although they had n number
of chances to score.
The Plainfield players were the
first to score, Moulton. their center
getting a field goal after about four
minutes of play. "Jawn" McCreery
evened matters up with a double
pointer, after which Moulton made
good a shot from the foul line. Am
boy took the lead when Regain scored
q field goal. He was quickly follow
ed by Pete Hansen, McCreery and
Hank" Thomas, each of whom scor-
ed one field goal. NJ. Snyder, one of
the visiting forwards then evened up
matters slightly by scoring two doub-
lie counters. One more field goal by
Mac and one by Chick Evans
brought Amboy's scoring to an end
while Moulton mad good a free
throw and M. Snyder Gagged his third
field goal of the night, before the
whistle blew at the end of the first
half.
The second half found Plainfield en-
d~eavoring to even up the 14-10
score, which stood at the end of the
first session. A. Porter, one of the
guards, scored a field goal, Regain
pulling off a similar stunt. i've points
were then piled up by the visitors
putting them in the lead T.. Snyder,
guard, and A. Porter making ,eld
goals while Moulton scored one point
from the fifteen foot line. Thomas
Gagged the ball from almost the mid
die of the floor after which Moulton
made good another chance to score a
free throw. Thomas scored a single
counter. Regain parted the shreds
from the field after which Rosenson,
one of the visiting forwards, scored
from the field, this making their
score twenty and marking the end
of their scoring.
The Auditorium players continued
to score throughout the remainder of
the half, Regain making two field
goals, McCreery four and Thomas one
more foul shot, for a total of twenty
points as compared with the ten
counters annexed by the Recreation
Five during this period.
The score follows:
