logg- Birge. the score standing - to
10. Huiskamps won from M. r. p
Co., In score OF 33 to p.
The games last night were as clean
az any ever seen on the floor, no less
fast, however, than some which have
many more fouls called In the first
game at the end OF the first half, the
score stood to 6, and 1t looked as II
the Irwin-Phillips men were going to
have battle for their title, but the
phenomenal work OF the win.Phillips
forwards, coupled with some unlucky
shots by the X. B. men soon turned
the tide OF battle. and although the
rs P. men were on form, in compari-
son to gone Of their exhibitions, they
won with ease after they had start.
Some excellent shots were made dur
ing the game.
The second game was methodical
machine-like system of rolling them
in. on the part Of Huiskamps, and
more regular but nevertheless
snappy exhibition by the NJ r. P.
team. The Huiskamp bunch played
into Crossan and he fed tho machine
with nine baskets, while Sheldon
stood around on the outskirts OF the
battle and repeated his Quincy per
Torrance, dropping In seven. No one
else on the red team scored. The,
honors were more equally divided
among the NJ. r. P. men, King lead
Ing with 4, Harrington g., hurry and
Kane one. Sheldon's sensational stab
from back Of center was one OF the
