There is strong desire among handball Ell.
thusiasts 10 have the question OF the double
amateur championship of the coast definitely
settled. Harlow and LawleSs claimed the title
and Donnelly and BOnet attempted 10 show
them that they were mistaken, but before the
match was concluded Bonet was mcapacltaIed ed
and John Purcell took his place. Harlow and
Lawless won, but owing TO BOnet having 10 re-
tire neither team was satisfied. Then Don

less. but Lawless has retired from handball for
year. and Harlow is without partner.
