The Bay Stater accounted for 20 points for his team, with six field and eight foul goals. His eye for the basket was deadly, and in only two instances did he fail to regis ter point from the foul line. fitz shot six straight foul goals before he slipped up.
 Whole Team Was Q. K.
 Tommy Sheehan, the other Spring neld boy with the Manchester team was q tower of strength on the defense and playing alongside him was that old favorite Joe Madden. This pair formed defense that was impregnable, Jerry Fay, the elongated center con- tributed largely to the success Of the team. Jerry's great height is big fac tor to the success of the team Usual ly the team gets possession of the ball on the jump, and whenever 1t is Fitz- gerald or Sheehan that lands 1t, the opposition usually finds its mighty hard to get the ball away.
