played fine floor game. holding Lew
Schneiderman to two field goals and
caging two himself.
The closencss Of the game cannot be
judged by the final score. The Y. NJ II.
\. team, playing against more eXpepi-
cnccd men who had an advantage Of
height and weight. fought all the way
and deserve credit for their great show
ing.
An injury to Tom Tiehe five minutes
after the second half started threw the
machinery of the Port Richmond five out
of gear, enabling Manager Hoplinss
Hancock quintet to cop the contest by
the score Of 1918. The winning streak
of the Port Richmond team was stopped,
but only after forty minutes Of hard
fighting.
With owens and Tighc back in its line
up the Richmond representatives took
the lead after the game started on two
field goals by Tighe. Tom played all
over the floor and the Hancock team
appeared lost" With the score li-l3
in Richmond's favor, Tighe suffered
cramp in his leg and was forced to leave
the fracaS, Flanagan taking his place.
The newcomer played his best, but the
absence of Tighe forced the other men
to play harder to hold their lead. In
the efforts to keep Hancock from scoring
they fOuled more than usual and five
free tosses in the closing minutes of play
turned the tide in favor Of Hancock.
The manager of the Beth Israel team
announced that Lew Sugarman will
positively play tomorrow night against
Girard.
