A. Final games were played In the Y. M. C. A.

Airplane League last night, the Sikorskys defeating the Fokkera by the score of 29 to 28, and the Ryans conquered the Bellanoas 28 to 18. The Sikorskys were able to keep out of the cellar position by their victory over the Fokkera. Chlampl was high scorer in the game, with five field goals and a brace of two pointers for a total of 12 points, while J. Clark played well for the Fokkers, with four goals and two fouls for a total of 10 points. The Ryans' victory over the Bellanoas only strengthened the hold they have had on first place for several weeks.

At the end of the first half they were on the short end of an 11 to 8 score, but were able to drive their craft a little harder in the second period, and thus emerged from the fray with another for the credit side. All the Ryans annexed at least two field goals, while J. Clark played well for his team with four goals and two fouls for a total of ten points, to be high scorer for the match.
