CITY QUINTET BEATEN IN CLOSE GAME HER
Amboy y. N. H. A.
Team Cops State Title

The Perth Amboy Y. VI. H. A.
quintet reopencd its season last
night { play a game 10 decide the
winner of a huge loving cup offered
by the state Y. NJ. II. A. for the
state y. NJ. II. A. basketball cham
pionship. Amboy won this contest
by 4 1928 cor the winning bas-
ket being scored by Captain Charley
Sher with n minute to go. The
contest was played on the local
associations court.
Jersey City took the court in the
same fashion as the last game here
with the exception that Fured occu-
pied a forward position. while Bropf
played in one of the defensive
berths. That the game would be
close was judged from the manner
in which the two teams started of.
The Hudson county representa-
tives succeeded in dropping in three
baskets in rather rapid succession
at the outset, two of these field goals
being due to lack OF guarding by the
local players. while the third was a
one hand shot by Handle-. For the
first five minutes of the game. the
Jersey City team succeeded in lead
ing the locals by a six point margin.
During this time the locals missed
many chances to score easy chances
from the field and also a rumber OF
tries from the foul line. Sher
dropped in a foul goal. the first
score for the locals and after ten
minutes of the first session had
been played the score was 10-S in
favor OF the visitors.
The going was nip and tuck for
the next five minutes OF play, little
scoring being done. the visitors still
leading 1910 at this stage. The To-
cal players started a spurt with four
minutes TO go in this session and
dropped in four double counters in
two minutes time, giving them the
lead. 1912, and in the remaining
time the locals scored another bas-
ket. . The score at half time was
20-12.

JIMMY SILVER
IS GOING GREAT
Catching for st. Benedict
Prep. Team Hitting
Over 400

One Of the features OF the work
of the St. Benedict prep school team
Of Newark this season is the back
stopping OF Jim Silver, well known
local athlete. The st. Benedict prep
school baseball team has won nine
straight games 10 date this season
and the players are confident of
coming put on top in the nine re-
naming games on their schedule.
A recent Newark publication
made il known that Silver is the
best catching prospect ever see in
a st. Benedict uniform. He is hit
ting over the 400 mark at the pres
ent time and his accuracy in throw
ing to the bases is marked. Silver is
a willing worker, steadily plugging
away at his task.
He made a great record Tor him
self. catching for the local high
school team during his period in the
local institution. but he did not get
the chance to show his real class,
the chance he is being given this
season. Nearly all of the players on
the St. Benedict team are on a par
as far as class is concerned, and in
this way the real value of every
man can be shown.
Silver made a good showing with
the St. Benedict basketball team
during the past season. He played
a guarding position. and his work
played an important part in the sue
cess of the team.

then, however, the Nationals have
improved and defeated two of the
teams which in turn beat the Press.
