MAPLE WOODS
The Maplewood basketball team.
who claim to be the champion of
Long Island were swamped by the
Norwalk Big Five at the Armory last
evening. The score of the game was
61-24. In the preliminary game the
Battery 0 team added another easy
slctory to their long list.
During the first few minutes of play
it looked as if the main game was
going to be a hard fight throughout
but after the Big Five got to going
they continued to score point after
point. At the end of the first half the
score stood 36-12 in favor of the local
team. The second half was a, repeti.
tlon of the first. O'Boyle was taken
out in the second half and Kelley took
his place at right guard.
Mullen and Brotherton were the
leading scorers for the Big Five. Each
of these two players made a total of 15
points. Brotherton tossed in seven
baskets from the floor and one foul.
Mullen made six baskets and three
foul goals. O'Boyle made flve baskets
during the half of the game that he
played. Joe Lonchak also broke into
scoring column last evening. and threw
in four field goals. he also played a
fine floor game. Shorten was the lead-
ing scorer for the visiting team, with
three field goals. Burbach, the center,
also played a good game. and inter-
cepted many a pass with his long
arms.
The preliminary game again proved
that the Battery C team should book
stronger opponents. The Battery team
was in the lead throughout with the
exception of a few seconds at the
start of the game. when the Separates
with a burst of speed took the lead.
Rowland lead the Battery team in
scoring. Brotherton also played a fine
big show.

for me to pick out the greatest game
I. ever saw a recruit pitcher work in
the majors.
That honor goes to Charley Robert-
son of the Chicago White Box. who. in
the spring of 1922, shut out the De-
troit club without a hit. More remark-
able yet, not a. batsman reached first
base.
A number 'of things tended to make
this performance on the part of Rob-
ertson all the more remarkable.
In the first place, it was made
against a tem generally regarded as
one of the hardest hitting aggrega.
tions in the history of the sport. Last
season the Detroit club led the Ameri-
can League teams in batting by a
comfortable margin.
In the second place.“ the feat was
performed under rather annoying con-
ditions, that might have sent a less
game youngster into the air.
In the first four innings the Tigers
hit a half dozen bails hard. but direct-
ly at some fielder.
began to complain that Robertson was
doctoring the ball.
Thm the Tigers
During the last five innings the
game was constantly delayed because
of the objections of the Detroit play-
ers to the manner in which Robert-
also
son's fast ball was acting. They
claimed that Robertson was using
some foreign substance to discolor the
bail.
Through it all Robertson worked
after the manner of a veteran and
Taowfl"
turned in a. game that will go down
in baseball history as a supreme
pitching effort.
Addie Jose and Cy Young we the
only two other American League
pltcchers who ever accomplished such
a feat.

game. Coach KJellander gave all of
his players a chance to get into the
game last evening. Ireland and Smith
played the best game for the
Separates.
Despite the storm about two hun-
dred fans made their way to the game.
After the games dancing took place.
It was announced that the Big Five
would play the Y. M. H. A. of
Bridgeport on next Wednesday even-
ing. and that the Battery C five would
take on the Y. M. H. A. Separates.
These should be two of the best‘games
of the season.
The score of the games was as fol-

At the present time Cutbili is under
suspension by the A. A. U. He is
charged with padding his expense ac-
count. This charge was made. by the
A. A. U. heard in Hartford. It is ex-
pected that Cutbili will be re— instated
in the near future. as his case is being
investigated by the omcials of the A.
A. U. at the present time, and it looks
as if Cutbili will have very little
trouble in clearing himself of the
charges of professionalism.

Next Wednesday evening will be

Big Five will take on the Bridgeport

team will clash with the Y. M. H. A.

best games of the season.

entitled to the throw. , The throw
for goal must be made within ten
seconds after the ball has been placed
on. the line. .
EXCEPTIONS

goal does the ball continue in play?
If so are there any exceptions?
If the goal is missed the ball con-
tinues in play :with but two excep-
toins..
First—4n case of a. double foul. the
shall be put in play at center afeer
the second.
Second—~W'hen two cil- more free
throws are awarded a team. the ball
is dead after each free throw except
the “last one. If the goal. is missed
after the last one, the bail continues
in play.
_ GOAL
If a team having the right to a. free
throw makes the goal, how is the ball
put in play?
The ball is put in ‘play at center, the
referee tossing it up in the usual man-
nor, the centers asumlng their regular
position. ..
