Fit DOUBLES
SCORE OF K. OF P.
- St. Peter's Team Wins Third
Game in Series of Five
With Tottenville.
The·St. Peter's Y. M. C. basketball
team won tlie third game of their se
ries of Ave from the Knights of Py
thias, of Tottenville, oa the Parish
House court last night, doubling the
score on their opponents. The final
score was 42-21. The crowd was
large, filling every available seat in
the auditorium and on the stage.
The game was one of closc playing,
but was not what might be termed
gooil basketball. The K. of P. un
doubtedly outplayed the Y. M. C.
on ' the floor, but the latter had their
«hooting eyo with them and the num
ber of baskets attempted and missed
by the Knights was a display of their
inefficiency at shooting. | It was at
first apparent that they were In a
strciik of hard shooting luck. Basket
after basket would, apparently be
sure, only to have the ball roll out
without going through the shreds.
This can be attributed to the fact I
that the baskets were too lively for
the Knights, or to the fact that they
are unable to shoot well olï their
home couit.
The game was rather a rough exhi
bition, which is only natural where
two teams are as closely matched as
were those last night. Fouls were I
numerous for rough tactics, and, al
though there were no open battles, at
times they threatened to break out.
Ernie Copeland and "Chick" Sher
were the chief offenders at the rougn
style of play, but all of the men got
away with more or less of the rough,
playing.
There were really no Individual
stars in the game, every one of the
men being in the game from start to
finish. The first half ended with the
Y. M. C. in the lead. Hornsby
started the period with a basket made
on a jump, and then Parker rang one
up from the field. Hornsby followed
with another, and Copeland added a
foul goal. The Knights then tallied,
and the game was on in earnest.
Shot after shot was missed by the
Knights, who seemed to be having
great difficulty In "holing" the ball.
The first half ended with the Y. M. C.
leading 16 to 7.
In the second half, it was expected
that the Knights would profit by their
errors of ommlsslon in the first, but
almost at the first blast of the whistle,
Blackie Regan secured the ball and
made good with a basket, ducking un
der «'line's guard and scoring an easy
shot. Gene Parker made a good throw
from the vicinity of the foul line for
the second basket. He repeated a
few seconds later.
Preacher pulled an easy shot for the
first tally for the Knights in the second
half. Regan then scored, followed by
Preacher, who was playing a sterling
game. The Knights then started a
spasm of shots, with the Y. M. C. ap
parently helpless before the onslaught.
The ball remained in the possession of
the Knights for several minutes,
shooting at will, but unable to gain
any points. On a long pass, it sailed
down the floor, where Regan jumped,
caught the ball, and shot for a goal.
He followed a minute later with an
other tally, when time was called. At
the resumption of play, Preacher made
an easy shot, and Parker repeated
followed by a tally by LaForge from
the jump. Parker again scored, and
Prcaclier missed a particularly hard
shot but Sher scooped lip the ball, and
made an easy tally. I-aForge again
made a tally, with Parker following.
WJth time lmost up, Regan called for
time out owing to an apparent trouble
with his nnkle. Copeland scored his
first basket of the half, when the game
was again underway, and Sher also
scorod. Parker and Copeland were
next in line, and then Regan, whose
shooting In the second seemed to be
particularly good, ended the game with
& basket.
Parker and Regan were the shoot
ing stars of the game, heaving in bas
kets in good shape In the second half.
Hornsby was scoreless in the
second but taJHed twice in the first.
Lehiuan made his customary one in
the first man. and Copeland tallied
three limes. LaForge, scoring twice In
each half, was the best for the Knights.
Sher and Preacher each getting three
baskets, Paugh and Cline being score
less.
The foul shooting of the night was
away off form, only three points being
made for all the tries by both teams.
C'linc rang up one and Copeland the
others.
The Y. M. C. are to play another
game with the strengthened Michelin
Five next Wednesday. The score of the
big game follows:

NATIONAL TURNERS TO MEET
RIVERSIOESJN JAN. 12
One of the biggest sporting :it
.tactions ever arranged for Middle
lex county fans will bo staged in the
<■ of P. hall court on Friday. January
12, for Manager Harold Hoffman, of
he Hiversldes, I.as booked the Na
ional Turners, of Newark, to appear
η South Amboy on that date. This
s not only the first tline that this
earn lias ever appeared in Middle
wx county, but it is one of the few
imes that the Turners will travel out
>f Newark this season, for there are
mly a few teams in the state that car
ifford to pay the guarantee required
>y tlie Turners for a game.
To Have Ilcgular Lino I'p.
After much preliminary dickering,
negotiations for the appearance of the
Turners were closed yesterday. Man
ager Harry Charrier, of the Turners,
las contracted to bring- down his rcg
ilur team, which Includes Schwab,
Willie" O'Toole, Malone, Barry, Lap
Ian and Sewlnsen.
The Turners are rated as one of the
eading professional quintets in the
last. Several years ago this team de
eated the old^outh Amboy Neptunes
chose lineup t*|en included such men
is Harry Schwartz, Jlmmie Oantlon
md Fred Garland, by the score of
.22-20, in Newark. The Klvies, how
•ver, believe that their past showing
vill make them worthy opponents of
he noted Bruce strceters. The Turn
irs this year hare not met defeat on
he court. Among their victims have
>oen the Bay View Wheelmen, the
s'ew York Inter-State League team,
md other noted quintets of the east.
Although the St. Peter's Y. M. C.
ossera, of Perth Amboy. have as yet
hown no inclination to accept the
iivle»' challenge for a Ave game se
ies. It U likely that negotiations will
ic made for the series before the end
■f the week. The series, it is bellev
d, will be gotten under way during
he latter rart of January, after the
tivies have finished with the Na
ional Turners and {he other teams
hey have booked.
