.TRIPLE-HEADER
 AT BOYS CLUB
Galvins and Endees Clash /; Hawks vs. St. Ann
 All-Stars

The second weekly triple-header will be held tomorrow evening with three games on tap, at the Boys club gym.
 This weeks schedule brings to- gether the Galvins, who are coached by the rotund Thomas Ritucci and Frank Donnelly's Endees, who fea- ture an array of sharp-shooters led by young Fisher.
 The second game of the evening which. will start at 8 o'clock prom ises to be the headliner with the St. Ann All-Stars meeting Joe Gal- wins Hawks. The St. Ann team thus far has been 8 disappointment but with such an array of talent on the squad the boys are apt to find them selves and enjoy a field day at their opponents expense. The Hawks. though, are not to be under -esti- mated as Manager Calvin also has Q very powerful team in Lubesky, Smith, himself and others.
 The 9 o'clock contest is between the powerful Croft Alumni and the Sacred Heart Alumni. The Croft boys. led by Cliff Loughlin, who also pastimes with the Cadets, should have littletrouble in taking over their much smaller opponents.
 After last weeks games 1t seems that the Croft grads are the class of the league. Showing practically the entire Cadet team they will be hard to stop and the team that does beat them will figure in the cham. pionship. Joe Mobile will referee all three games.

More than @ little off form, with a chance to win the state champion ship and $100 first prize money Louis Police of this city dropped his second test of the tournament to Bob LaPierre of Hartford by the score of 125 to 96 last night at the Wooster parlors. As a result, he is now tied for the title with Steve Boucher of Bridgeport, whom he will play 250 points for the title starting Sunday night, when 125 points will be played, and the same setup on the following evening.

LaPierre went into a lead of 81 to 65 only to have Police go one ball ahead on one of his few good innings, which, how ever included high runs of 9 and g balls, while LaPierre finished strong with a IA ball run, and then went out when Police missed a fairly easy shot for the side pocket.
