Midtown Outfit Will Engage
in Game With Parish
House Team

The Parish House court in Wood
bridge will be the backgrounds to-
morrow night for the first game of
the series between Manager A. A.
Deter's Parish House combination
and the Michelins of Midtown. Both
of these teams are contenders for
the county title, and a victory for
Manager Deter's team would put the
Woodbridge quintet in a fair posi-
ton to lay a real claim to county
honors.
The Midtown team has won five
games out of eight played this sea-
son, six of these contests having
been played on their home court.
The Speedways of this city were re-
sponsible for two of the defeats, n
at the Auditorium court in Perth
Amboy and the other at Midtown
last Thursday night. A Trenton
combination registered the third
Michelin defeat.
Manager Deter's team has cap
tured the two games they have en-
gagged in to date, the first with the
Rummel Post team of Arlington and
the second with the Mohawks of
Arlington. The fact that the Speed
ways of this city have defeated the
Michelins in two games should make
the Parish House players work all
| the harder to register a win in this
game.
Both teams will appear on the
| court with their regular lineups in
this game, and 1t is expected that
Buckley of Railway will be the
eleventh man on the court. The
game is scheduled to start about
o'clock.

The local Vocational School ex-
poets to have a great season in bas-
