last night marked the playing
Of the fourteenth game of the SEN
eationaI "45's tournament sponsor
ed by the st Francis Xavier Holy
Name society, in the church hall.
Interest in the tournament has
reached q high peak, as the hall
was fairly jammed with spectators,
not only from the "hilp' section,

Monday nights games will finish
up the first round.
First honors went to Joe Phelan's
"All-Americans" who trounced Bob

place by a comfortable lead Of 20

is that the team don't seem to be
pulling together, and his lead-oH
man "Muggsy" McGrath threaten
ing to quit the team, If his sparring
partner, "Pung" Munson, isn't in
the lineup next week.
After several weeks of tough
luck games, "The Great Old Cham
pion," John ,Fitzmaurice and his
''Shamrocks'' came back with a
vengeance last night, and trimmed
'Scoopie'' Carey and his "Dare-
devils' 1921, and claimed second
highest honors Of the evening. The
"Old Fox" pulled a fast one by
smuggling "Wild WIFI Gaughan

so happy, that he got up on the
