Considerable activity in the basket bail
leagues last week resulted in a general
shifting around OF the quintets. The
most marked changes took place in the
Tri4City loop, where a number OF the
crack fives have started punching up.
Both the Clarks and the Townsends
are holding down the lead in the Tri-
city organization with q perfect record

large scores. As these two quintets have

each other It is almost a certainty that
they will continue TO hold their
perefect records until the day OF hos
