Flamingo four, i2 to II. in hammer
/ and-tongs match that was decided in
an extra period. Dewereux Milburn

| Meadow Brook forced the nIsvinr
throughout, and by longer and appar-
entity more accurate stroking succeeded
in neutraliging the slightly superior
speed Of their opponents. The Blue
i Shirts had their team play working
we'll, too, and all the dash and fire OF
4 the Flamins1es could not check their
steady progress. The game was full Of
aggressive attacks by Meadow Brook
and stout hearted counter attacks by
the defeated side, and SITTER the initial
! concession had been evened UP the con-
4 test was rcplete with thrills as frst

taken place during the tournament,
/ and when the score had been tied by
| Hitchcock at the beginning Of the

4 threatened by the furiously-
I teams.

/ we'll Hitchcock and Milburn probably
d contributed most to the winning of the
match, but Elliot Bacon was large
factor too. The ast-Cooley eombina-
tien did the greater part of the visible
\ playing for the Flamingoes. Gatins
