It was the 11th straight victory of the season for Captain Nick Gill and his fast-passing array of players, with two wins at the end of last year bringing the run of wins to 13. Last year's game was not the best of this series of victorles, for the club wasted three periods in er- | ratic passing hefore getting down to the real business of the evening and Keystones could not break through the defensive wall which the New Britain guards formed. The Hartford quintet, substituting for the Manchester “Rec” aggregation, played too carefully and was out- charged all the way by the home team. Kley cut down on his own tip-oft and scored a field goal in the first ten seconds, Goffa coming through with a shot from the corner and Kraszewski making it 6-0 before Lavery and Henderson shot the first Keystone points from the foul line. Gill and Lavery make baskets and the quarter found the totals §-4. The second period was slow; Gill's left hook hegan to work in its accustom- ed fashion, but the handling of the ball was ragged. The Keystones, however, did no scoring from the field and the half found it 14-57 Two technical fouls within six seconds let each team add a point as the third quarter began. During this quarter the club gradually drew away to 22-10, Henderson making all of the Keystones' points.

St He defeated Allen Hall, St. Louis, 50 to 48 last night by the remark- | able run of three, six and nine points in his last three innings. Right on his heels is Augie Kieckhefer, a for- mer champion, with four victories to five for Relselt. Raimundo Campanioni, Cuban star won a 50-48 victory over Tiff Den- ton, of Kansas City. The game was ordered re-played however, as the Cuban touched both object balls with his cue before he completed the three cushion shot. Gus Copulos, of Detroit, another former champion, climbed into a tie for third place with his third straight victory, when Art Thurnblad, Chi cago youngster, met his first defeat of the tournament at the hands of Charles McCourt of Cleveland.

The Stanley Rule is driving towards the top of the league while Landers, without any speclai prize in view s proving to be the stume bling block for the leading teams in the league. The first game of the evening will give the Russell & Erwin five the opportunity of going into first place by half a game.

The Landers team is anxidus beat the Stanley Rule team and for that reason, every man on the squad will be in excellent trim. The Rulers are guarding against any losses because the players realize that to keep in the running, the team can't afford even one loss to any of the other teams. The Corbin Screw team moets the Rulers next week and this will be a crucial game for both teams. It will mean that the Corbin Screw team is practically out of the run- s, for first place, whila will be thrown into a tie for second place with the Stanley Rule team. As the schedule works out, two leading tea very different position.
