the largest gathering of spectators seen
at polo field this season. While the
scores were one-sided Burlingame de-
feating Riverside twelve goals to three

opponents and played with good team
work, while Riverside depended almost
entirely upon individual play. The
Burlingame men started with a rush,
scoring three goals in. the nrst PEI -,

OF these Lawson and Carolan each con-
tributed two, while Driscoll and R. M.

While Burlingame was making this
headway Pettee was the only player on
the opposing team able to place the
ball between the posts. Driscoll scored

fourth period and Pettee also scored.

end until dusk, was a rough one from

lot of humping matches. No one was
hurt, although Spalding was unseated

Governor Hughes, of New York,

unusual and remarkable because Of
the wave Of railroad legislation

POLICE GET CLEw
TO FURNACE MYSTERY

Cincinnati o., June l2 The po-
lice have in custody a twelve-year-
old boy, Ed Nagel, homeless, whose
confession will cause the arrest of
two men on suspicion of having muir
dered the unknown man, whose part
ly consumed body was found in a
furnace a. the Ryan Soap works about
ten days ago.
The boys says he lived with the
rwo men several days and heard them
tell of the murder, also that he saw
a pool of blood where the murder
was committed.
The coroner returned a verdict of
murder in the ease. although the po-
lice have all aloug held to the theory
of suicide. In order to commit sui
eide the man would have TO crgwl
through an opening 16x22 inches into
a seething mass of fire.
