BLUE RIBBONS WIN
TITLE BY BEATING
BROOKLAWN FIVE
(By Wagner.)

On q slippers floor that was more
suitable for the tango and the one
step than the noble game of basket
ball, the Blue Ribbons and Brook
lawns batt1ed in the deciding game
for the city title at Colonial hall last
night The Ribbons took the game
and the title by SO to IL after a rough
and tumble contest.
The smooth floor surface made it
difficult for the players to keep their
feet and when an athlete received a
slight shove he generally described a
cartwheel in the air and landed on his
ear. The Brook1awns displayed none
of the skill they showed in the prev
ious game at Eagles hall. Their
passing was good but the shooting
was wretched. Too much was expect
ed of Franke1 but he was so closely
guarded that he failed to do anything
Treat was the star for the Brooklawns
and Shea also did well.
Jim Morrison was the hero for the
Ribbons. The veteran tossed six goals
and two fouls. John Leavy came back
into form by tallying five goals and
four fouls. Caht1l was also in fine
fettle He put two in the net. Keat-
ing and Bierbaum didn't have much
luck in shooting but they did excel
lent floor work.
There were several fights. Pat
Hurley of the Ribbons was put off in
the first half after a tussle with Lud-
wig From the sidelines it looked as
if Hurley was not to blame. In the
second session Brown of the Ribbons
took a punch at Leavy when the lat
ter was engaged with another player.
Brown was thereupon banished from
the game When the Brooklawns saw
they were hopelessly beaten they re-
sorted to rough tactics. Fourteen
fouls were called on them to eight
for the Ribbons.
The first half ended with the score
Ribbons 10, BrookIawns 8, but Leavy's
men pulled away ahead in the second
stanza. The line up:
Blue Ribbons. BroolzlaWns.

Birmingham, May 1o.-G y. M.)-The
area of high pressure that was central
over the upper plains states on Friday
nights map has moved eastward during
the past "a hours and now overlies the
central lakes. 1t has caused a change
to fair weather over the central and
eastern states, and decided fall in tenn
peratures over the northern half of the
Atlantic slope
An area of low barometer still con-
tinucs over the plateau and Rocky moui.-
tain divisions, having moved very slight
ly eastward since Friday night Pressure;
have fallen considerably, however, along
its forward side. and as result there
has been a general increase in clouGi-
ness over the western half of the Missis-
sippi valley, with light rains over the
central plains states, and the northern
Rockies The eastward extension of the
low has also been the cause of a gen
eral increase in temperature over the
western half of the country generally
during the past "a hours.
In the cotton belt fair weather has
continued west of Alabama. and to the
east of here clearing conditions have
extended to the coast. Thunder showers
occurred at all south Atlantic coast sta
