This is the first time in the history of basketball in this city that a team from our neighboring state. New Tork, has played in this city.

H. Bhoe-macher of New Tork, walked away with Harry Wallace, of Perth Amboy, by a 150-98 score on E. W. Hopkins new 5x10 pocket billiard table, In the latter's billiard parlors on George street In an early stage of the game the men were tied, 84 up. Later the score stood 96-66.

Then Wallace ran 21 balls. It was his last chance, for when he blew on the twenty-second, Shoemacher started on a steady knocking off that wasn't Interrupted to any great extent till the game ended. Wallace had 100 balls, but scratched twice while Shoemacher waB going out. To-night a much different game Will be played between Shoemacher and Ed.

EUR WITHfN 2-WEEKS WALLACE SCHUMACHER RECEIVED FOR BIG CONTEST In addition to others the Sterlings received a letter from Woodbridge yesterday stating that "Lefty" Wand, with a record of 39 out of 43 chances, will represent the Wood-bridge High School, and "Marty" Reyder, who can cage the ball twenty times without a break, will uphold the colors of the Parish House of Woodbridge at South River on Friday night. While this record is enough to throw a scare into the other contestants, yet it is believed the race will be a close one. All the contestants throughout the county are practicing hard and It is reported that the majority of them can cage the ball five times without any difficulty. While the average fan would say that suhh men as Garland, Taylor, McCreary, Pagnod, Cantlon and so on will cop the prize, yet the little fellow may surprise some of the vet erans by dropping in as many or probably more. The Funnel Five have great confidence in their man, Armstrong, who will represent them in the contest.

So strong is their confidence that several bets were made that he would win, which is giving odds. If the two boys from Woodbridge live up to their record, the other men will have to go some to beat tnem, but there are more in the list that will hold them down. The big game between the Sterlings anl the Mlchelln Five no doubt will be a hummer. This will be the first time these two aggregations have met and both are setting a dizzy pace. Fans think it is an even chance.

The Sterlings will have their regular lineup on the floor Friday night and all in good condition for the Brat time in a month. Some one wisely said they will need their regular and best lineup to get away with the Mlchelln Five.

LaChance caused the first outburst in the second inning when he drove out a slashing double. Kobe Ferris set the crowd wild with cheers when he strode to bat in the pinch, tripled to the fence and scored the needed run on a wild pitch. Kid Elberfold had scored a ran for New Tork in the seventh and the game was hanging by a thread.

The Highlanders threatened a rally In the eighth and the great throng of rooters was hushed by the suspense. It feared the loss of a donble header which might prove disastrous to Boston's chances in its battle for the pennant Putnam, who had succeeded Garvin on the slab for New Tork, led off with a single.

Thirteen games with two others pending comprise the Princeton 'varsity basketball schedule as announced here recently.

In "addition to the regular Intercollegiate League games the Tigers will meet Tale in a two-game series; West Point, Manhattan College and St. John's, of Brooklyn. Despite the fact that of last year's Captain De Witt, who is also fullback on the eleven is the only man eligible this season, the Tiger followers are expecting their five to finish much higher up in the league than has been the case in former years. There is a lot of excellent material available from last year's freshmen five and with proper coaching the Orange and Black players should develop into a strong aggregation. Salmon and McLanahan will probably be the forwards, with McTlgue at center and- De Witt and either Gill or one of the Trenkman brothers at the guards.

All of these players, with the exception of De Witt, were on the freshman squad. The schedule is as follows: December 11 Manhattan College at Princeton. December 14 Pennsylvania at Princeton. December 19 Dartmouth at Hanover. December 20 Game pending.
