As a result more than 1,500 persons were disappointed when the team failed to appear. Just before it was time for the game to start, Manager Pierce of the claimants of the Southern New York champions, telephoned Manager Wilbur Crisp of the local aggregation that it would be impossible for his team to reach Syracuse.

Simons and Jim Tormey were the leading point scorers for the winners, each scoring eight points, while Crisp and I. Simons were the stars of the All-Syracuse five.
