BOYS MAKE SACRIFICE.
Give Money for Baseball Suits to the
Relief Fund.

One of the real sacrifices for the suf-
ferers in San Francisco is recorded
from the Lincoln school, where the
boys baseball team has made the
heroic sacrifice of their new ball suits
The money was on hand for the suits
and the team, which is considered one
of the best in the grade school league,
expected to make a fine showing in the
new toggery. The idea of spending the
money for that, however, when clothes
were needed for some ones comfort
was repugnant to the youngsters. and
they cheerfully made the real sacrifice
by giving the money into the fund and
resolving to wear their old clothes for
the ball games
