west END WINS The
Series over ST. PAULS.

In one of the most hotly contested
games ever staged at the West End
Reading Room, the fast St. Paul's
five had to suffer defeat again at the
hands of the West End Third quintet,
to 10. although it took an extra
five minute period to do it. Each
team having won a game beforehand,
Monday nights victory decided the
series in West Ends favor.
ST. Pauls scored a field goal and
a foul goal in the first two minutes
of play, so closely were they guard
ed The half ended with West End
leading by the score of to 3. Car
roll and Reilly came up the floor and
shot a field goal apiece. Here West
End got busy, Callan shooting a field
goal from a difficult angle and Fill
liben tossing in two foul goals tie
ing the score. A little later the final
whistle blew.
In the extra period it looked like
the score would remain tie, but
Fox played a bang-up all evening,
dribbled the ball through the entire
St Paul's team and shot neat field
goal from under the basket about
one minute before the whistle blew
Carroll played best for St Paul's,
while the playing of the West End
guards also featured.
Next Friday night two fast games
are scheduled at West End Hall
when the first team opens it's home
season with a game with Tommy"
Dougherty's Hillside team, while the

that the races in the two majors may
not be hot enough to arouse interest
