Eastern Girls Lose Close Game Toronto, Ont., May 4.--Edmon- ton Grads, girls' world champions in basketball ranks, continued their winnings ways here last night when they defeated the Parkdale Ladies' Athletic Club by a score of 23 to 17.

They led at half time by 8-6. The superiority of the western girls was apparent throughout. Tired af.er a train journey that brought them into Toronto from Chicago yesterday morning, they nevertheless flashed speed and clever passing whenever the occa- sion demanded. Except for a lapse early in the second half, their de- fensive game proved too sirong for the Parkdale girls, GRANVILLE RUNS FOURTH TO HOLD SEVENTH PLACE Chelsea, Okla, May 4.--Running over hard dirt roads for 54.7 miles, Philip Granville, of Hamilton, Ont., Canada's lone representative in C.
