CAMDEN entertains Coatesville to-
night in an Eastern League Bas.
ketball contest at Third Regiment Ar
mory. Haddon avenue and Mickle
street, Camden, and predicted win
for the Skecters would not be amiss
In fact, it will be about necessary for
the Corson Helm combination to cash
in on the long end of all home games
to nose out the Celts In the second
half. 80,

than any team in the league. and away
from home generally have the edge on
even the Cets. The advantage is slight.
but they are better than the Got
on, foreign floors by shade. just the
same. Tonight the Jerseymen enter,
tain Coatesville and the fans are al
set in case the visitors attempt any
rough stuff as was evident in the game
at Coatcsville on Monday night. .

hut it may be different tonight away
from home.
Lack of Consistency
One of the chief reasons for Coates
yille's failure is the lack OF consist
ency. Players have been shifted TOO
much and for that reason It would De
nrctty hard to forecast lineup lot
the visitors. They make changes over
night, rs has been the custom all year.
but have some pretty good players IN
the lineup. .,.
with two more victories this week and
;f Trenton can halt the Gel on Fri
day the race will be mighty interesting:
The Potters are letting out big sgueal
oftcr beipy beaten on Sunday and say
rho Colts will not be beaten once under
the nresent playing conditions OF net
and slippery floor. They claim that
Neehan was the only regular accus-
TONED 70 the conditions, but there are
other Trenton players that have played
in q net.
But with the race such close one,
the New Yorkcrs should not be al
lowed any privileges not enjoyed by the
others. Whether the Celts are to be
tumbled from the lead is up to Iren-
ION and Camden, and they must take
tho measure of the Gothnmites in all
gamcs away from home and win at least
ono game in the Garden to tie them up
for second half honors, as both Cam
den and Trenton have been beaten ut
home so far.

Another game attracting attention
