others to witness the last games of the
year now all but closed.
At the San Francisco court gamo be-

element than any of the others. The
boys displayed considerable skill in toss

spirit Of the game with great zest. Four
well-known amateurs, r. Lineham and J.
Dillon and G. Hutchinson and AL Pen

two winning, which will necessitaie the
latter giving them New Years present
