SOUTH CHURCH WINS
Basketball Outfit Takes Measure of the Hart & Cooley Five by Score of B to 19.

The South church took the measure of Hart & Cooley last night at the Boys Club in fast and rough game, 53-1s. Kilduff was the star of the eye- ming, getting six from the floor and four from the 15-foot line, but the whole team played well. Cooley's floor work. Parker's passing. and tne guard ing of Herre and Hitchiner were all factors in the victory. The Hart & Cooley forwards, Bacon and Wood- ford put up the best battle for the losers.
 Kilduff opened the game with foul shot, which was soon equalled by Bacon. From then on the teams scored in turn, the first half ending with the count locked at 10 all. In the second period, however, the South church boys cut loose with a series of rapid passes wich swept the factory team from its feet and ran up the score in quick fashion. The whole team got in on the scoring, and the result was certain within a few minutes after the period began. The score: Parker .................. Bacon
