posting little account of two points
Returned 10 his guarding business.
Burke dropped in three fouls in rapid
lfre order and almost made It four in
"a row. He missed connections on his

felt positive that Brownson would
pull off the uneXpeced.
Tho second session brough ont the
calibre of the duly recognized cham

then they bombarded the net for fair
Red Walsh and Joe Lacy had
blanked Fogarty and Newman in the
opening stanza. but now the old man
came back 10 life. He made all kinds
of bank shots and tossem EN- in from
an angles. Joe Lacy hung on 10
Newman for dear life and the best the
decor could do WAS one lone tally.
BRADY then got his shooting lamps on
fhc hoop and scored at will. The
mace set by the Johnnies i'm the first
half now told on the library youths.
Their sea legs we're kind Of wobbly
and they had an awful time trying to
follow the sphere. Every time they
would clutch the obnoxious ball II
would bounce away and then a merry
game of chaser would result.
The champs continued to tally ano
all Brownson could do in the scoring
line was a pair + fouls by Rigney and
