the first half the locals seemed to take a
sudden brace, and the way they handled
the ball soon pulled them into a good
lead. Some wonderful shots from all dis
tances and from all angles We're made

matter. 1t seemed that he could not miss
one, and more than once he brought out
cheers from the packed gallery for a
clean basket from half the length of the
floor.
Vying with him for the individual hon.
ors of the game was little Crogan, the
right forward. He was in the game every
minute, and especially fast on receiving
long passes and dropping them in from
directly beneath the basket. Fast and
accurate work brought the locals score
we'll along. SO that at the end of the
half they had pulled away from an even
score and led Baltimore by twelve points
The half ended 30 to 10.
Refreshed by their rest after the gong
sounded for the second half. the men
of both teams went after the champion
ship with vim that kept the eye on the
jump to follow the ball, so fast was the
passing. Even better guarding was dis
