Championships in basketball and track and second honors in base ball were the major honors won by the out-east schoolboys in a season marked by more and stiffer compe- tition than ever before. Father Breen's boys made strong bid for diamond laurels but a poor start offset them. They wound up the season by defeating th> St Mary champions, the. second setback Of the season for the Cole streeters.
 Baseball, received added interest with the organization of junior league comprised of eight clubs, in- cidentally witnessing the return Of St Ann's school to competition aft CT a lapse of several years. The French school will in all probability be represented in all branches of sport when school re-opens in the fall.
 St Peters Impressive
 Sts Peter and Paul, under the di- rection of Rev James F. Woods, also surprised by taking a lions share of athletic honors. The boys from Beecher avenue took second honors in track and thirds in baseball and swimming. The Sts Peter & Paul junior nine finished in the runner-up position in baseball while their big brothers were giving the Hearts battle for the second rung. in the older circuit. Tom Mates of the out east school took third place in the foul-shooting tourney.
 still Going Strong
 St Mary's, as usual were very much out in front in everything They make habit of winning the baseball cup every season. Even the change of coaches this past year made no difference. Harry Melvin carried on capably where Joe Null vile left off. In swimming, Father Loughran's boys finished 24 points up on their closest rivals, St Jos eph's.
 St Joseph's, under the care of Father Valantiejus, won the first bowling championship in Catholic school sport history, when all of the parochial schools gathered at Gen. lots for the St Patrick's day classic The Lithuanian baseball team gave the rest of the league plenty of bother throughout the season but il remained for Tommy Kaukas, St Joe's graduate, to pilot the junior team to championship in the minor loop.
 Frank Conroy did great work with the St Thomas boys. It appears that Frank always gets pint sized young sters with which to build his clubs Ray Cronan gave him some conso- lation by copping the annual free throw title. In bowling, The Tom- mics finished third. trailing St Joes and St Francis.

Galvin's Slants No Mystery
 to Determined Morti- clans in Baseball Classic

"Galvin's Gall" would be an ap- propriate title for the ensuing story which concerns the baseball game won by the Undertakers over the Newspaper Nine yesterday after noon at Hamilton Park. The score was IA to 13, the game going seven innings and stopping at that point because the Undertakers were three quarters dead and unable to bury themselves. However, the aforemen- tioned Calvin, who thoroughly read Eddie Udelowitzs latest tirade on How To Play Baseball' just before game time, decided to do the pitch ing. The Undertakers decided to do the batting. They did.
 They Came in Punches
 In the second inning, two home runs, pair of triples and bushel of bingles in no way discouraged the agllic Calvin, who kept on "groov- ing" them to the delight of the springthly Embalmers. When 1t came time for the News nine to bat. they only had eight runs to make up to tie the score. They got two, and four more later. But do you think young Calvin was discouraged? Not by iugful! He went right back to the mound and pitched some more. And, as you might have guessed, the Undertakers scored some more.
 Writers Get Even
 A seventh inning spurt by the writers tied the score, but the Un- dies batted last against George Godfrey Casey, who was somewhat effective with straight, fast ball. However, Alderson caught one of his fast ones. with one on base and the game was over.
 For the winners, "Johnno" Mur- phy and Alderson were the stand outs. For the losers, Moose" Fitz- gerald. standing in the shade of the old apple tree, and Eddie O'Donnell were the cream of the crop. Incl dentally, the Newsmen voted in a new mascot after the game. His name Is Calvin.
