 The game between St. Charles and Sacred Hearts narrowly escaped a. postponement last night. The sched- kule proper called for the game to be played in St. Charles hall but the Hearts were afraid to meet the 'Lion' in his own den and at a special meet ing the night before pulled one over on the "Safnts.'' They got the other magnates with them and the game was ordered transferred to St. Johns hall.
 l The St. Charles manager, Dunigan. rightfulIy, refused to give in to a transfer and ordered his team to ap- lpear at their own hall. They did so but the other three teams were in St. Johns hall on Pembroke street Fin ally a little influence was brought to bear on the members of the 'sSaints'' and they packed their kits and hiked down to the hall of the Allies | Come now to the big game. The 1 contest opened threateningly when the Hearts started to rough it and the boys from the East Side came pack 1 just as vicioHs1y as did their oppon- ents Ste Charles worked the bah up the floor and Moran of their team shot the first basket. Dunigan then kshot goal from a foul giving the t.Safnts'' three point lead in less than three minutes.
 Garrity of the Hearts then tossed l one into the netting giving the l Hearts two points to their credit. Things began to get rough and ref eree Canning called four fouls on the l Saints in rapid succession, the Hearts proftine greatly, making four l more points on the free losses. Hork- | heimer then tossed two in for the ''Saints'' and Dunigan shot a goal from foul. The first half ended with the score tied at to 8.
 At the end of the period the l Hearts seemed to be pretty well winded but the Saints showed no signs of distress. Hanbury, who had been covering Lannon to a nicety, was benched in order to let Brennan take part in the fray. Moran was then l shifted to Lannon and the elongated d
 
 basket of the evening but Moran | came back and evened things up by tossing one for the Saints. Tc make 8, long story short, we will say that the score now stands at IT to IT, Martin tossed one into the net ting, after the referees whistle had blown, and the goal was disa1Iowed
 With but 10 seconds left to play ii surely looked like an overtime game Things began to get rough again and the right forward of the Hearts de- liberately trfpped Dunigan of the Saints who as he fell severely injured his back and had to be car ried off the floor. He recovered inn mediately, however. and returned amid the plaudits of the crowd.
