TRENTON REGULARS
RETURN TO LINEUP
Defeat Coatesville in last-Min-
ute Rally, but Game Is
Protested
CElTICS WALLOP THE BEARS

THE Eastern Basketball League has
l. provided its daily thrill Yesterday
nearly all the Trenton team vas sus-
pended for thirty days for reported
"open insubordination. " Today they
are reported ns having played against
Coatcsville last evening, as Manager
Fred Walters said they had committed
no offensc in that they did not receive
word to go to New York in time for
Sundays game with the Celtics.
The pottcrs defeated the Coates. 26
to %. when Teddy Kcnrns Gagged field
goal in the last thirty seconds of play.
And Manager John Bchney. of the
Goats, has protested the victory, nll of
which means a warm session of the
Eastern moguls in their weekly confab
at the Windsor on Thursday night.
1t Is cinch that at least three of
the players will go unpunishcd, as ap-
parently they committed no offcnse to
warrant suspension for one month. II
Is likely the moguls will leave the mat
ter up to Manager Walters. IL Tom
Barlow refused to go 10 New York on
Sunday, that is a mntter of team dis
cipline and for Manager Walters to
take care of. unless he wishes the
league to take action.
Kcarns' Goal Wins
1t was the second successive game in
which a two pointer by "Reddy''
Kearns as the bell sounded. saved the
potters. Over Mt Trenton last Friday
II was his goal that tied the score and
then two pointer that virtually won
for the potters in the extra period.
Tom Barlow was out Of the lineup
and Manager Walters gave no reason
for benching his star except the
thirty day banishmcnt of President
Scheitcr. The chances are the players
never knew anything about the Trenton
game.
Joe Borger was the star of the Trcn-
ton Coates clash. He secured two of
tho home teams four fold goals and
established league "Ncord in dropping
In thirteen of his fifteen tries from the
llnck mark. HNggnlCy. MCchnn and
Dunleavy all showed TO advantage for
the winners, getting three baskets each.
Cclts WIN One
Tho New York CcIiics paid visit

Bumps aggregation 2S-21 dcfrNt. The
Gothamites completely outplnyCd the
Bears and the seven point margin in
the score fails 10 show their marked
superiority.
Nathan Holman and Johnny Beck
man were the bright lights for the visl-
tors and divided six field goals. just
one more than the wholc Reading outfit.
The game was marked by many rough
passages. but Referee Bartzcl was equal
70 the occasion and kept thc cCmbatants
.nt 4 safe distance throughout.
During the second half the encounter
between Leo Malone and George lINs-
gcrty. former Reading tap-off. became
50 personal that they cndeavnred 20

changed and both mcn were chased
from the game. which viii enrich the
league treasury by $50.
