BASKETBALL ITEMS

The Dominican A. B., which is out for
the championship of school teams in this
vicinity, defeated the st. Aloysius Mid,
court. The feature of tho game was the
clever goal shooting OF McEvoy, OF the
Dominicans, from difficult angles of the
han. while Stanley played a clever block
ing game. Jones played best for the
saints" The Saints had a lead in the
first half. the score being 19 to H. but in
the second half they could not keep up
with the pace of the Dominicnns. TIT
final score was 30 to 26.
: The Sterling Social Society would like
TO play any third team claiming the cham
pionship. The Sterlings have won twelve
on opponents courts. Therefore, Manager
klugman thinks that his team, although
not claiming any championship, Is the
fastest third team in this vicinity. Next
