the championship of the world
was at stake as the Lions pre-
vailed over the Philadelphia
Ramblers, 81. in a body-block-

, League match before 1000 last
might at Uline Arena.
1t was the final regular season
match for both clubs with only
the Lions scheduled to see more
action in the championship play

Tempers fiared, but the near
Jest thing to a fight developed
between Jack Riley, general
manager of the Lions, and
IChirp Brenchley, the Philadel-

Riley, irritated by what he
termed rough tactics on the part
of the Ramblers, argued vio-
'lently with Brenchley near the
dressing room after the second
period.
BY winning the Lions wound up
their regular schedule with 80
victories against 20 losses and
three ties. They meet Clinton in
