''roughed' the Brooklyn man by playing a tattoo
on his ribs with the handle OF his stick. The game
was very fast from the start with very little ao-
vantage TO either side in the first haf but in the
second period the Crescents played about the
fastest game seen In Brooklyn and had the
Wanderers on the defensive most OF the time.

The work OF Bob" Wall in last weeks game IS
deserving OF special notice. His frequent dashes
