count. There was no league in the
local race and consequently no
standing, so the championship could
hardly be figured on a percentage
basis. Besides Defiance and Chesrook
met three times while other elevens
met each other only once. In the
after-years the results are all that
are remembered and are the only
points that can be produced in argu-
ment. Imagine this tumble:
Parkside defeated Defiance. A
wrong decision by the referee. He
admitted that It probably lost the
game for Defiance. The latter did
not protest publicly until weeks
, afterwards. Can tho game be counted
against Defiance? In some ways yes.
in some ways, no. Take Il to court.

In the final analysis Chesrook has
the better record and Chesrook is
the hold-over champion but with all
this they were beaten and tied by De
nance. The big fault lies in the fact
that the second Chesrook Defiance
game was played. The Tenth Ward.
