 He won his honors in a series of we'll played games which might have come out differently If Roland Smith of 311 Church street. who recently came here from North Carolina. hai not been over age limit. smith is an expert shot and cleaned up everyone in the school. Andrew Neill another good player is over age so that the Central Junior High loses its best players due to the age limit.
 One of the interesting features of. the games at the Central Junior High school was the fact that prac- tically all of the players in tho final games had won school cham~ pionships at one time or anotherA Liardi is a former champion of the Lincoln school, Gordon Ely his op- ponent in the final match is also an ex-champion of the Lincoln school. Angelo Cassella holds 8 school medal from the Northend school. while Zigas, Mingle and Neill, al- though over age, played in the school games and all held primary school titles.
 Ely defeated his nearest opponent Cassela and then met Liardi who had worked his way up to the finals These two met in a final game for the championship of the Lincoln school two years ago when Ely won ut yesterday Liardi turned the ta- tles and walked home with the championship of the Central Junior High school.
 The technique of the players yes- terday was far above anything seen in the city to date and the Central Junior High school has taken so much interest in the tournament that the boys were playing in the school yard until o'clock evenings until the final match was decided yesterday.
