Teams Split At
 Card Tournament
Players Under Command of Craney and GOggns Win
 Thirty-six Games Each

Last night marked the playing of the twentieth game of the great St Francis Holy Name Society "46" tournament. Weather conditions cannot lessen the crowd any, the usual large gathering of specta- tors being on hand. Almost as much interested as tho players themselves. The high scorers of the evening were divided between Michael Craney's "Cracker-Jacks' and Michael Goggins "Rovers" each team winning thirty-slx games. The "Cracker-Jacks" de- feating Tom Byrnes's "Table- Slammers" and dropping him from first to third place, which was Mikes aim and prediction. telling the world he was going to do it, and his prediction came true. Mike is now the most feared captain In the whole tournament, and he wishes he was playing O'Donnell instead of Bowey next week. He says O'Donnell IS getting a break. Byrnes's alibi for defeat was that his most reliable player, James Farrell, was missing from the line- up last evening and this was tho most reason for the defeat. How ever, Byrnes says he will be back
 with q. vengeance next week when
 he meets the "Daredevils" telling "Scoopie" Carney he will be sorry he ever entered into the contest. Michael Goggins "Roovers" de- feated the "All-Stars", 36-27. Father Dillon was missing from the "All-Stars' lineup and the team didn't seem to have their usually amount of pep. Some or the boys are taking their bowling too seriously, and this may be tho reason for defeat as Thomas Nc. Hugh remarked, you can't expect to star in any two games. 1t must be one or the other. All of Cog. ginss team were in very good form last night, even Ed Hussey who had another tough break last week. Ed sold one of his prize roosters to 0 friend--it may have been Big Jack Hyan. While hond- ing Ed a ten dollar gold piece, dropped on kitchen floor and his dog picked 1t up and swallowed It. The only thing then to do was to take the dog to the dog warden for treatment. After three or four days the dog was returned to its owner with the information. Well, Ed. the operation was sue. cessful, the dog Is ok, but sorry to say the gold piece Is a counter felt. The result being Ed fell into
 Bill Keliey's ''F'lashes" sunk Scoople Carney's "Daredevils' deeper into the cellar by a score of 35-2S. Bill has his No. 1 tablo working to perfection now, turn. ing in a score of seventeen games. Those men, John Joyce, Arthur Frageau and Joe Grimes should be given great credit. scooplo Carney has given order sto Coach Johnnie FitSmaurioo to release Tommie Walsh. Patrick Moran and Goat Riley outright. for tho terrible shoeing they made last evening with their little score of four out of twenty-one games. But their allbi Is that they arc holding out until next week, to take 0 shot mt Tom Byrons. This being the case, Johnnie is willing to give them one moro chance. :.
 John Bowey's "sligo-Torrors" defeated Tom Horans Boy Won ders 32-31. Miko Shea. the Boy wonders" coach, doesn't consider that a defcat--the game being so close. They arc up in the second place and expect to stay there. or ono higher John Bowey missed tho services of his coach, Chris Harmon, who is on tho sick list and claims that accounted for the light score. Had Chrise been in the lineup their score would have been much higher and reminded Tom Horan that 1t was c break for him.
