The game in question was a wild one, rendered so by the fact| that the club authorities were in Hartford with the senior basketball team, The All-Stars and Phantoms were playing and the Phantoms kicked on a basket scored by their opponents. They protested the game and also enlisted the services of an intermedi- ate league player for the remainder of the contest. Thus strengthened, they won and withdrew their pro- test, but the All-Stars protested on their own account and this kick was allowed because of the use of lhe’ “ringer.” The corrected standing is as follows: Pet. 889 667 687 .56 All-Stars ..
