GRIDIRON AND DIAMOND.
1t was after 2 o'clock when the Sac
ramento Grammar School boys lined
UP against the Oak Park boys to do
battle with the pigskin, and the three
thousand people who paid their money
to see the contest, actually saw a game
fight and one which would have done
credit to long-haired football students
at the State University.
But the Sacramento boys had no pud-
ding. They were up against the real
thing, and that they finally won the
game by a score of 5 to 2 was due to
sprinting and not to bucking and tack
ling. The Oak Park boys are husky
f0f-f00 hn Gro, 1ar y
Schoolians, and they seldom failed to
make gains by bucking the latter's line
Oak Park took the only touchdown
made in the first half and things looked
blue for the Sacramento mops
In the second half, however, a long
kickoff by Stack gave a good lead, and
during nasty scrimmage which fol-
lowed, Byron got the ball under his
arm and sprinted across the line before
the Oak Park tacklers downed him. A
few lucky punts and kicks secured an
other touchdown before the game was
over and the Sacramento lads Won
And then the stands were cleared
and people We're charged admittance to
see an alleged game of baseball be-
tween Sacr amento and Sunset Parlors,
n. S. G. W.
But the game was not even amusing.
and luckily the crowd was very slim.
The playing would not pass for bur
lesque, because some of the players
really imagined that they were trying
to play ball. An old gentleman who
had never seen the national game
played, said he thought the boys were
pretty swift-probably there were
others.
Sacramento Parlor had men in its
lineup who played ball-years ago
and they could hit out a straight ball
when there was no field. On the other
hand, the Sunset could neither bat nor
field
Only five innings We're played, but
they sufficed. The agony was simply
awful In those five innings Sacra-
mento Parlor chased around the dia-
mond thirty-one times, and Sunset Par
Tor managed to scratch one man over
the plate. 1t was an exciting game
very. The excitement was due to the
doubt whether it would ever stop. and
the scorekeeper could keep tag
on the errors. 1t is said that while one
Parlor rolled up ninety three errors the
these figures were not vouched for.
There was a spirited competition in
the baby show, and number of pretty
infants shown.
For white babies, the infant of Mrs.
Hoffelt took first prize, and Manila
Cronin, born on the day the fleet at
Manila was captured, took second.
Muriel and Merle Smith captured the
prize for twins.
The best looking colored child was de-
cided to be Roy Bronson.
For Chinese children. Frankly Tong
took first prize, Eva Sing the second
and Horace Gee the third.
There were number of races and
other games during the afternoon.
In the evening there was also very
large attendance and the lamps and
lanterns when lit UP made a lively and
very pretty scene. The living pictures
proved a big attraction and the room
was crowded time after time
