~. un'T, Ton's share Of the goals, the work
W Wv oStretch" Mechan proved the ont
o,S;no feature Of the night. II has
s.au long time since any center man
w. w. such an exhibition at the pivotal
no most as did Meehnn.. .,
P'IITT PITo only was credited with two bas-
,,is hut he missed bunch of close
49, and was in almost every play.
W,.bor demonstrated his true worth.
CI,.row also played a fast floor game.
Finer Rplcy was the only player That
did moi register from the field and he
had M least two dozen shots.
Holman a Team Worker
That Nat Holman Is n team worker
ord not for himself was proven con
cIms;yely. Time and time again he
would work the ball down the court and
bavc fine chance 30 score when all
"f a sudden he would "southpaw" the
iosthor TO rip in his cudeavor to get
Kim n basket. Try as hr would. FL
NOR could not tally. Had Holman put
torth his raintcst cndeavors there is
no question that he could have cstab-
Iishcd an Eastern League scoring record
for tho season.
Thc "Coats" took the floor minus the
services Of Jimmy Brown, who was in
iurcd rho evening before IN the game
with Trenton Jimmy has been play
irc in fine form and his absence weak
,ncd the team considerably.
Manager Bchney had secured Joe
Berger former team mate of Ripley.
Brucgy and Holman at Scranton. He
made four points in the second half,
when hc took the place Of Garry
Scbmrek. Berger registered foul and
field goal and moved around with all
the actions Of first rate player.
Team Simply "Shot Mad'
Last nights game was one Of those
occasions when q team goes on a goal
shooting orgy that il is simply impossi- =
bic to stop. Every shot goal was
the way the home talent was tossing
'cm in during the first twenty minutes.
Rruggy made five baskets IN the open
ing period and the fans who were cry
ing "Don't play Bruggy" before the
game started pronounced him the great
est in the world.
All Of liruggy's baskets were after
sensational Sprints down tho court.
Holman'S seven shots were almost all
long ones. but he was set on each oc-
casion, and Glasgow tossed ono Of his
from the side. Meehan once batted the
ball in on Dicghan in scrimmage jump
aud his other goal came in lightning
fashion off center play.
Tho first basket made by the home
talent was one of the pair made by
Glasgow and followed long try by
"kid" Dark. his opponent Glasgow
was coming down the floor with Dark
and on the dead run battcd tho ball in
tho net after u tcammate had missed.
GLASGOW il tho best player in the East
ern League at following up shots.
All told. the Germs scored 1S field
goals, aS Harry Franckle also made a
basket when he took thr place of
Bruggy with seven minutes to 60.
Coatesyille was content with three,
Dark. Berger and Dieghan getting .
pointers.
