The Germantown basketball team
owners are determined that the subur-
banites are going to stay up around
first place in the Eastern League bas
ketball race. Frank Poth, formerly
connected with the North Phillies, is
now with Germantown, and through
him two new men will appear in to-
nights clash against De Neri at the
Auditorium, Chelten avenue and Chew
street
At forward will be Garry Schmeelk
He is no newcomer to the followers of
basketball. During the 1876 East
ern League campaign he played a num-
Der of games with Jasper. Garry was
so good that he chased a couple of the
best guards almost crazy trying to stop
him from caging goals, and then one
night decided to quit all of a sudden.
The other, who will play at guard,
is Nat Holman, player of repute. He
was scheduled to be on hand last week,
and would have been except for the
fact that he received a wire telling him
not to come. which he believed was
| from Poth, only to find his mistake too
late.
Tho Sedran- Friedman FiascO
Barney Sedran and Marty Friedman
| had been announced as "signed" by
North Philadelphia. They put in an
appearance at Moose Hall last night,
but are farther from signing than they
ever We're, and as regards terms with
the North Phils,. "Muddie" says they
have never even been discussed.
! The stars say they will not don q
uniform until the Camden manage
mcnt pays them for the games they
have missed. Pay was demanded for
eight games, at the rate of $50 each.
This would amount to $3.50, counting
the salary for both players.
The players are now with Passaic, in
the Interstate League, and Albany, in
the New York State, and leading both
leagues.
Suggy With Phils
The deal off, there was nothing fol
Lou Sugarman to do but to play with
the North Phillies. He is said to have
worked with the understanding that HI
goes to De Neri when he desires, anC
the manager of the North Phils is cred
tied with giving his consent, if Manager
Myers hands over to him Players Dark
Riech and Dehnert. (And Myers has I
game to play tonight, too,)
A game of basketball was played AM
a good time had by all. The contes
was preceded by the announcement tina
the players would not play. 1t wa
nip and tuck affair and was won b.
Camden. Score, 2S-27. The play wa
the fastest of the season, and on NOR
than one occasion the players on bot
sides were completely exhausted.
DoIin's Goal Wins
Eddie Dolin's goal in the closin
minutes turned a Camden defeat int
a triumph, for at the time the hOm
contingent was ahead at 27-26. TIL
score throughout was decidedly close
the first half ending 14-13. Camde
got away TO four point lead, but tn
home club was out in front at 7-6, an
then Camden went ahead and finishe
the half with one point to the good.
It was see saw in the final frame
and Dolin's basket decided the excite
ment. Lou Sugarman, Jimmy Brow
and Oscar Grimstead starred for tn
losers. Brown made Campbell loo
pretty poor, and the Camden man reall
was away off. For Camden Roy Steel
and Eddie Dolin were the big hig
lights. The goals were even at seve
each, going to Steele, A Dolin. .
