responsible for the downfall Of six Los An

bridge university man, also batted capt.
tally for 18 and W. H. Young, an excellent
old round cricketer from England and
Duarte. played fine and invaluable in
ming of 49, carrying his bat. Testers
bowling was too puzzling for the majority
Of the Los Angeles batsmen, and they
failed to reach their opponents score by 4e
runs. The match was played on the Polo
club grounds at Santa Monica, and quite
a number of ladies graced the game in the
afternoon, several Of them kindly furnish
