KelIoegs Take Game From Red Tops
and American Cement Machine
Takes Lead in Commercial
rs,#r' Basketball.
Standing Of Teams.

One of the biggest surprises OF the
season was staged in the Y. NJ. c. A.
commercial basketball league last
night. when Kelloggs, who have been
bringing up the rear, got rid OF their
ink and took down the Red Tops,
who have been leading the league
up until the game last night. The
grocers held the flour men powerless
throughout the game and beat them
to the tune Of 20-G. KellOggs shifted
the positions of their players last
night, end this seemed to turn the
trick. Heiser, who has been playing
guard for the grocers, was shifted t"
forward, and he played the star role
of the game, caginS five in the FIRST
half, evidently before the Red Tops
woke I'D to what was wrong. In the
second half Heiser was guarded more
closely and secured only one, rum
ming his total up to six field goals for
the game.
American Cement Machine Co.
takes the lead in the league by win
ming a decisive victory over Odells,
1874. This was a fast game and both
teams showed spurts Of excellent
team work, playing an open-passinG
in hitting baskets, and. although the
score would indicate the game was
