EASILY Maintains Leadership of Eastern League Score Was 36 to 19. DeNeri proved to be the easiest kind of a proposition last evening. Reading on by a score of 38 to 19 two to ono. This keeps Reading at the top of the ladder in the league standing, although' hard pressed by Harry Hough's Trenton outfit. The crowd that saw the game completely filled the Armory.

There was not a player on the Reading team who did not work hard. Feiffer played a superb game and appeared to be everywhere at one time. He is fast becoming one of the best guards in the league under the splendid training of Winnie Kinkaide. Eddie Ferat, despite the fact that he had a wrist sprained and a finger injured In the game at Trenton on Monday evening, worked hard and did some of the prettiest kind of drib bling. He shot well, two long chances especially being fine.

Hans Fichthorn, too, played a swell game and had six goals from field. Just before the close of the first half Gus Krueger was chopped by Hodge Roland, who tried to take the ball, and sustained a break of a thumb. He finished the half, but in the second period was out. Thompson was shifted to guard and Haggerty went to centre. The lineups were" as Reading 38.
