Last night marked the playing of the eleventh game of St Francis Xavier Holy Name society "45" tournament in the church hall be- fore a large crowd. Weather con- ditions didn't hurt the attendance any, the crowd being as large as usual. Next Monday, being New Years day, the games will be post poned until Thursday evening, Jan- uary 4. After next week the games will be played on Monday night as usual.
 Jimmy Cusick's "Shellackers" won the honors of the night by trouncing John Bowey's Sligo. Terrors" 32-21, and are now tied for first place. Out of the eleven games already played, the Shel- lackers'' have set a new record, by being high scorers for four weeks with unusual large scores. It looks now as if they are the most dan gerous team in the tournament. Jimmy is backing up this state- ment by declaring that when he trims the All Americans next week 1t will settle all questions of doubt.
 Tom Horan's Boy Wonders" fattened up on Frank Mulcunry's INs1kskAs 5 Uy uC4CtlIAAAG tACAA Oo-1Os Tom claims his boys got off to a poor start, but now they are play ing heir real bang-up game which they are we'll capable of and Tom says there will be nothing to 1t from now on.
 Billy O'Donnell's "Galty Boys trimmed 'Scoopie" Carey's "Dare- Devils" 37-26. Billy is well satis- | kAa a,afH "a cf game of the old year with bang and expects big things from them when they start off the new. "scoopie" was in a rage and benched Mike Cooke, Johnny Fitz- maurice and Happy Shea, and de- clared he would rip the team from top to bottom. It looks as | if the three mentioned coaches have been laying down on the job, and I am not going to be left hold ing the bag. What man, Scoop
 Pete Coughlan's "Lightning- Bugs" flew high in spite of the severe weather and pulled off all kinds of stunts including nose- dives and tailspins and sunk Bob McHugh's "Bearcats" deeper in the cellar. Bob's alibi was that his efficient coach, John "Muggsy" Mcrath was missing from the line- up through illness, and his table mate "Pung" Munson couldn't work his signals to advantage without him.
 Perry shannahans' "Short Cir cults" defeated Mike Goggin's "Rovers" 35-2S. Perry has over hauled his wiring system and was very much pleased with the. way lit worked out. He is convinced that there is no more defects in 1t.
 He will have to wait and see.

 trimmed James Farrell's Spark Plugs" in another 35-2S battle. A. though winning they lost their hold on first place as they are now in O deadlock with the "Sheilackers."
 Bill Kelleys "Flashes,j defeated John Eitzmaurice and his sham rocks" in stil another 35-2S game. I Jim Fitzpatrick coached the team to victory last night when he called he team into a huddle before play ing time.

Judge Michael Hart nett again came across with the highest score of the three tables
 which he has accomplished all through the tournament and Cap- tain John complimented him for his great work of the old year and knowing he will be just as de, pendable for the new. The judge remarked: I'll do my best provid- ing you make good your promises of a few weeks ago. John couldn't remember what promise he made and said What was that judge?" 1 The judge said "I'li remind you l for the last time and winking his eye said Chick. Chick-Catch on.
