nOROlOH POLITICS
Mark Stab y has declined to be a Re-publtcan
candidate for Town Council
In the Second Ward. This leaves no
i pposltlon to John W. Campbell for the
bead ol the Republican ticket of that
ward.
Daniel Freas has withdrawn from the
field as a candidate for Town Council
on the Republican ticket of the First
Ward. G. W. Hummel will make the
contest.
A number of Republicans through-out
the town nre advocating the nom-ination
of Elmer I". Hart for burgess
on the Republican ticket.
—:0: —
A number of friends of Martin De-vaney
are endeavoring to have him op-pose
William E. Toner for the Demo-cratic
nomination for Town Council
In the Fourth Ward.
lOSKPH W. OAVANAGH
FOR BI'RGESS.
To the RECORDER:
I wish to call the attention of the
Republicans of the town to Joseph W.
Cnvnnagh, of the First Ward, as a Re-
Dnblican candidate for burgesB. He Is
one of the young Republicans who can
win voters from the opposite party
and at this time this is very Import-ant.
It now looks as if Elmer E. Hart,
also of the First Ward, will be the
Democratic candidate for burgess.
Every resident of that ward knows
that Mr. Hart will receive a large Re-luhllcau
vole, as he is considered as
Rood a Republican as a Democrat, and
if the Republicans wish to win they
must have as a candidate one who can
get votes, and plenty of them, too,
from the opposite party.
Four years ago, when a candidate
for Town Council, Mr. Cavanagh
changed a Democratic majority of six-ty
to a Republican one of twenty, and
no one denies his ability to do the
trick again. With him as a candidate
there Is little doubt that the entire
First Ward ticket would be elected.

The Prat half of the present basket
la 11 100eon, which ended with a game
between Conshohocken and Hancock,
mi Tuesday nigin. finds the local team
stutloned In the second notch, hot on
ii.- heels of Huncock. The records
icing Hancock won six games ami lost
wo, with a percentage oi ,7S0 points,
.'liile Conshohocken has won live, lost
ii.i i c and has a percentage of .(26
p.nnis The locals, however, made a
brilliant showing and the admirers of
Ihc game have no kick to offer. In the
beginning Of the season they were held
back by the loss of their captain and
in all-round player—Rambo—and lat-er
on was further handicapped by the
loss of their regular attack, Bennett.
They were reinforced by the addition
Of Lang in Rnmbo'a place and Ruth In
Bennett's place, and the team then set-tled
down for a successful season, and
thus far have not been disappointed.
Beginning on next Tuesday night the
inter-state League will begin on the
schedule for the second half of the sea-son
and it is hoped that the local team
will finish in first place.
On Tuesday evening the Hancock A.
A. Inter-state League team made their
rlrst appearance of the season In this
borough, and If they do not play here
gain for several seasons the game of
I'msilay night will be fresh In the
minds of those who witnessed it. Nev-i
was there such a game played before
in this borough. The visitors played
with that dash and vim that has char-totalised
their playing all season and
it was either team's game until within
I half a minute of the end of the game
when Moore scored a goal from the
.It-Id and placed his team 3 points to
the good. The final score was 22 to 19.
For fierceness the game has been
equaled by contests with both Camden
md Millville, but with all things con-sidered
It has not.
Willie Hancock played the greatest
game of any visiting team this season
and also scored more points against
Ihe locals than any of the first-class
has ever done, with the single
exception of New York. Ithey scoring
'10), It must be acknowledge that their
long shoots were miraculous and more
:h rough the smiles of dame fortune
than good judgment. No team ever
made half so many long shoots which
resulted In baskets, as did Hancock.
il of her goals were made on
shoots the entire length of the room
only Intended to get the ball out of
I heir territory, with little Intention of
going mar the basket, much less re-sulting
in goals.
Conshohocken on the other hand had
plenty of- shoots for the basket, but
luck at times seemed to be against
them. This was especially true ofCox.
On more than one occasslon he dropped
the ball fair In the basket only for It
to rebound and fall on the floor. Ruth.
too. made some very close throws but
tats was also against him.
The game was fast, fierce, and tak-l
i as a whole, clean, only three fouls
being called. The team work of the
visitors was superior to that of any
Nam that has been here this season and
also excelled that of the locals on Tues-day
night. Conshohocken did not
seem to play with the confidence which
has marked their playing In the big
[ami l this season, yet they played hard
und fast, and their game was much
cleaner SI t more open than was that
of Hancock.
It was nip and tuck throughout the
Ctlre contest, first one team was In
ne lead and then the other; the great-
■ Ht difference In the score being 18 to
19 In favor of the locals. Hancock was
never In the lead more than three
points.
It was Just 8.40 when Umpire Wilson
■tartsd the game, and It was a red hot
light with neither side being able to
score for seven minutes, when Custer
made a beautiful goal from the side
centre, The crowd the second lnrg
I st of the season—nearly went wild.
■ ml four minutes later when he scored
rood there was waving of hats
ind handkerchiefs, and shouting and
ihesrlng which continued fon. several
minutes and in the meantime. Cox.
anghl the ball and scored a goal.
I hen showed his ability as a
•uplain and entered a protest, which
Slled Umpire Wilson to throw the
goal out. If West had not protested
th< goal would have counted and the
M ore would have probably been differ-ent.
West dropped one in for the
visitors and then there was a lull and
silence reigned when Moore missed a
gl al on ii free throw from E. Hnlde-nifiii
fouling Ruth. Moore set matters
alight with a goal from the field, but
Immediately fouled by running with
the ball and Mathers scored on the
IMe throw. Mathers then scored a
Held gogl and the score wus 6 to 5 In
favor of Conshohocken, There was no
nine seining In this half.
Th« tWO teams lined up for the final
mild the cheering of about four
b Ired voices for It Is in this hnlf
-, in ral rule that the locals lose
their opponents, but there was an ex-eeption
to the rule this time, for the
visitors stayed right with them, and for
a so mm i,aii II was ■ "corker." E.

Come boys and show them that
