INTEREST
IN COURT co
Amboy Fans viii Witness
Woodbridge Opener This
Friday MataWan Plays

Basketball players and followers
of the local high school are watch
ing with interest the outcome of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1dgh school
court encounter to be played on the
Woodbridge court this Friday aft
ernoon.
Before the coming basketball
campaign is over, the Crimson and
White passers will be called upon
to lock horns with these two teams,
and it is good dope getting a line
on the respective strength at the
present time.
The Woodbridge team Is out for
revenge, inasmuch as the Monmouth
county quintet romped away with an
easy victory in the opening game
of the season last year. Woodbridge
made a sensational finish last win
ter, and put in a strong bid for the
county honors.
Matawan, judging from practice
sessions, will be a leading contender
for the championship of Monmouth
county and East Jersey during this
campaign. The down-county team
is about as strong as last year, and
Woodbridge is represented by prac-
tically the same players.
Many fans from this city will go
to Woodbridge to witness this con-
test. The Crimson and White bas-
ketball tossers will be put to work
at an early date.

PREPARE FOR
FINAL CONTEST
Coach Stauffer Working With
Big Squad of Men for
Game Saturday

In an effort to place a fairly good
representative team of the local high
school on the gridiron against the
North Plainfield high school eleven
on the latter's oval Saturday after
noon Coach r. L. Stauffer, of the
State street institution, is working
with a big squad of candidates daily.
Only three regulars of Stauffer's
eleven have survived the study"
ban. Jacobson and Daitz, linesmen,
and Seaman, of the backfield, are the
only regulars who have been success
full in keeping up IN their studies. In
Saturdays encounter 1t is probable
that Daitz will join Seaman In the
backfeld.
There is some good material at the
high school, players who have not
had a real chance TO date because of
the class of ball exhibited by the reg
ulars. The practice sessions this
week and Saturdays contest will give
the coach a chance to look over his
material for next season.
AS a result of the study ban
there is little chance of a meeting
between the State street eleven and
he representatives of South Amboy
high school on the -idiron this fall.
Followers Of both teams looked with
favor Upon a meeting.
After Saturdays game the coach
will make preparations for the start
OF the basketball season.

The deal put across on Monday
night between the representatives
of the Boston Nationals and the New
York Giants, brought about what is
believed will be Casey StengePs last
move in major league baseball.
In Boston, the veteran probably
will serve as the right hand man" of
Davey Bancroft, the new Brave lead
err who with William Cunningham
and Stenge1, were traded to Boston
for Joe Oeschger, a pitcher, and
Charles Southworth, an outer garden
man.
Stengel as a result of his home
run hitting, was the hero of the re-
cent worlds series COPIED by the
New York Yankees. The veteran
fielder has played on several major
league clubs, and while somewhat
slow today and weak against left
hand pitchers, he Is still a valuable
man. He won two of the recent
worlds series games by clouting out
home-runs.
1t is hard to figure how either
team has been strengthened as a re-
suit of the deal. Bancroft is rapid

outielder, did not live UP to ex-

With MANAGERIAL JOB

pectations. Oeschger was with the
Giants once before and failed to
show anything, being traded to Bos-
ton for Artie Nehf.
Southworth, a good fielder and a
consistent hitter, is perhaps the most
valuable man of the lot. Teamed
up with Ross Young and Emil Meu-
sci, the new addition should give
the Giants the greatest outtield in
baseball today.
The present owners of the Braves
and Giants have always been close
together, having participated in a
number of other friendly deals, and
a. deal like the one negotiated on
Monday night, is meant to benefit
both clubs.
Once again the interest John Nc
Graw has in his men, is shown by
the trading of Bancroft, one Of his
most valuable men, This has been
the goal of Bancroft, and 1T is be-
lieved that Stengel was sent along
to act as an assistant.
There will be many other deals
before the start of the baseball sea-
son next spring, and from present
indications nearly every club in the
two circuits will undergo some kind
of a change.

Basketball fans in this vicinity
are pretty confident that the basket
ball charges of Messrs. Lowenkopt
and Levin, representing the New
Brunswick avenue Auditorium, are
in for a setback when they tackle
the strong Wintons, of Hoboken, on
the local pinewood floor this Satur-
day night.
One reason for this belief is the
fact that Hickey and Davey Banks,
two of the best basketeers in the
East, are to perform with the Hobo
kenites on this occasion. These
players will have a strong support
ing cast.
The game between the Wintons
and Amboys, one of the best play
ed on the New Brunswick avenue
pinewood floor last season, is still
remembered by court fans of this
county. The Wintons nosed out the
