sweep of the inter-playground series,
and all three Of its teams, the So

mines. reached the final round.
In the southern section the Hamilton
Fish Park mines also finished first in
all three classes. The Tompkins Square
s5 and l2O-pOund teams led in the in
playground series in the eastern
section. but the 105-pOund team from
St. Gabriel's Park managed to win both
its games last week and so capture first
place in its class by a narrow margin.

TO the 85-pound class team from De
Witt Clinton playground, while the 1O5
and l20-pOund mines Of Chelsea PARK

Oval So and l20-pound teams finished
well in the lead in their classes, while
the l05-pound Reservoir Oval boys car
