Up to the time the Washington Hili board of strategy decided to play Jo-Jo Kovacs, the Jugo-Sla- vian peanut vendor. their chances of going home with the old ball game did not look too good, but after his insertion, things began to happen in a pointed manner. For one thing, the Hills scored an even 50 points on the Darlington family group, the final count being 50-39.
 For another thing, the afore- mentioned MT Kavocs counted up 13 markers playing part-time, and took a prominent part in the last period rush with Maloney and Joe Cavanaugh that brought the Hills home an easy winner over one of the circuits smoothest working outfits. The Hills led all the way but had no easy time of it, SCOT ing splurge in the third period bringing the score to 30-29 stand just before the final dash which found the Hills in rare form. Cavanaugh played an excellent game on both offense and defense, scoring nine points and participat- ing in the team play unerringly. Zeke Connors made his first show ing with the Hills and did well, running up points while Joe Wall held Mandy Green down to lone field goal, while scoring four points himself. In other words, it was five-man team that won so handily. Henry Darlington with 15 points was the games high scorer. The
