They have the same team this year. Com- merce High school will be met on the | game against local experts, Ho is now playlng against some of the best men at Maurice Daly's. Speaking of the boy's prospects, Maur- fce Daly says. “He can beat me play- ng balk lde, but If he will listen to what I tell him, his game will improve.

The visiting luminaries had the better of the argument in most stages of the game, their close guarding and excellent passing featuring. Not- withstanding the lopsided score the Bur- nasco five put up a plucky fight, on sev- eral occaslons throwing a scare into the visitors when they jumped to the front with the big end of the score. Many Fouls Called. Because of the close guarding of both fives, the game took on the semblance of a foot ball contest at times. In all & total of twenty-five fouls were called. The all-stars took the lead in the first five minutes of play, ama: before the locals got in action. the end of the half the Burnasco players jumped in the lead, but were outdis- tanced before the close of the period, the half count score ending 18 to 7. Though the locals tried to come back in the second frame they found it im- possible to overtake the lead of the vis- Greggains down at Coney Island. I'll bet he's told the story of that fight fifty times to different people. I feel as though I saw it myself. And you're the same Costello, eh? Gee whiz! I wish father was here now." Costello, who was as shy of gelt as a hen Is of wisdom teeth, saw a chance to put the bee on the boob for some dough, and sald softly: “Say, could you spare me a buck, old pal?’ The boob looked at Costello and arked, “How much is & buck?’ The latter turned his head to see who might be listening, eyed the joint up and down, and whispered, “Two doilars.” He got it. | § jtors.
