BY r. A. Srr1ytf1

Burlingame Country Club poloists
lived up to their hard-earned reputa-
ton of being brilliant players by de-
feating the Santa Barbara four handily
yesterday on the private field of
Charles w. Clark, near San Mateo. The
final score was eight goals to one.
The attendance was the largest ever
attracted by game here, both the
fashionable set and the people of the
countryside being largely represented
The spectators showed a knowledge of
the finer points Of the game and were
liberal with their applause throughout.
While the artistic polo pavilion was
reserved for Mr.. Clark's special guests,
the outsiders selected all the other
points of vantage from which they
could view the game. They sat along
the side lines like so many railbirds
and beat hasty retreats when the ball
came their way and was followed by
eight galloping horsemen, who did not
seem inclined to pull a rein in their
headlong flight.
An accident to DR.. e. j. Boeseke of
the Santa Barbara team was the only
untoward incident in an otherwise per-
feet days sport. Near the end of the
fourth period his pony, in trying to
turn quickly, missed its footing and
slid some distance on itk Mind feet
The pony finally fell over backward
1t was equipped with Mexican sad
die and the horn of this struck Boeseke
on the mouth, rendering him uncon-
scious for several minutes The other
players went to his assistance quickly
and he was soon able to leave the field
He recovered rapidly from the effects
of the accident, but was unable to
continue in the game. His place was
taken by Cyril Tobin and the teams
played out the full six periods The
teams lined up:
;, Bgrlingame-F J. carolan. T. ]. Driscoli. R.
Santa Barbara--J. E. Colby Jr. Dr. E. J.
Boescke, Dr.. B. c. Bcesckc E. Wickenden.
Referees-F. G. Bellyilc and George F. Mes
servey; timer. Charles W. Clark; scorer Robert
Leighton. Score-Burllngame, goals; Santa
Barbara, l goal.
John Lawson drew rounds of applause
from the spectators by scoring after a
sensational race across the field with
the ball. The Burlingame men com
menced to force their opponents soon
after the bail was put into play and
r. M. Tobin nearly scored. Soon after
ward Lawson obtained possession of the

SOCKER CAME
Of PRESENT SEASON

OAKLAND, Feb. 24-Something in
the nature of a surprise package was
handed out to the fans who patronized
dents and San Franciscos at Freeman's
Park today. The Indies had won the
cup regularly and regarded the San
Franciscos as easy victims. The Inde
pendents won all right. by score of
two goals to one. but a whole flock of
luck contributed to their success. Mizen,
the star player Of the San Franeiscos,
believing that his team had no chance
against the champions, deserted and
signed with the Independents. Besides
this misfortune, several other members
of the team were not available today.
Not long after the KICKOFF the Indies
were compelled TO sit up and take no
tice The rejuvenated San Franciscos
outplayed them from the start and after
forty minutes of terrific play made the
first mark on the tally sheet. This lead
was shortlived, for in less than two
minutes the Indies had equalized mat
ters. A free kick was awarded against
the San Franciscos and Duncanson
Jared the sphere right into goal.
The final period was as full of action
as the first, and for real fast football
it was the best of the season First
one side and then the other seemed to
be on the verge of scoring. Finally Bal
main of the Independents connected
with the sphere and drove it into goal

Todays card at Emeryville is of med
iocre quality. The sport will begin
with race for two year old fllies. H.
T. Griff1n's Abbey should win. Memoir
ize will be a contender. Chenowee
looks the best of the balance.
Picking the probable winner in the
second is not easy as there is little
form to the bad bunch entered. Dar-
thula is the class, but does not appear
to call for much. The Missourian has
speed, but is somewhat of a morning
glory.
Pal will win the third If he can go
the route. There is apparently little
choice to the balance.
Kogo has run some creditable races
and may be able to take Duke of Or
leans measure in the fourth. Treasure
Seeker and Little Minister ran better
at Ascot than they have here
Pontotoc has been showing speed
in his recent races and may do in the
fifth. Instructor should be the con-
tender. Sahara will find the distance
TO her liking and is dangerous.
Ethel Day is capable of better races
than she has run here and with good
racing luck may beat Sir Brillar in
the final race of the day. Lisaro has
not been out In long time and may be
short. With race under his belt after
his letup he would be very dangerous
Kokomo had a world of speed his last
out but is up against 1t here.

scored early in the fourth, making it
six to nothing. Then the accident TO
Boeseke ended the serious work OF the
game The final score was 8 to l.
The outcome of the game Indicates
that the Burlingame men will win the
tournament at Coronado next week,
barring accidents. They have one vic

tournament last year. They outclassed

the Burlingame goal with sure strokes.
Wickenden of Santa Barbara tried to
overtake him, but the Burlingame
mans pony had the foot oyer the
mount OF the southern player. The
ball went squarely between the posts
and the spectators sent up cheer for
the skill shown by the player. The
play was one of the most sensational
seen this season.
The Burlingame men fairly ran the
Santa Barbara players off their feet
when play was resumed in the center
of the field and Driscoll scored the
second goal for the home team.
Neither side scored in the second
period, although Lawson tried to re-
peat his former play. Driscoll, after
running the ball nearly three-quarters
the length of the field with all the
players in hot pursuit, finally missed
the last stroke. He had the crowd on
it's feet again before the end of the
period, but could not score.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT I

Play was resumed yesterday in the
Alameda county championship tennis
events on the courts across the bay.
Rain necessitated postponement at
o'clock, after little progress had been
made.
Seven matches were played In singles,
two of which were won by Charles Fo-
ley, the local expert.
Edward Finnegan of the Golden Gate
Club upset the dope" when he forced
Foley to a three-set match. After los
ing the first set Finnegan. took the sec
ond but the third went to Foley The
latter probably underestimated his op-
ponent and took matters too easily IN
the second set, but Finnegan put up a
strong game and deserves great credit
for his excellent showing. The score
was So. 6-S, 6-3.
The other events brought together
players who were not evenly matched
and the contests were rather one-sided.
The surprise of the day was the igno-
minious defeat of Guy Lytton at the
hands of Harold Getz. The latter is a
member of the Golden Gate Junior
Club, and while he ranks second to
Maurice McLoughlin among the juve-
niles. he was hardly expected to out
class Lytton. Getz won in straight
sets, the score being 6-2, So.
Horace Mann lost to Fitz Guerin in
straight sets. Both are in the second
class of the Golden Gate Club. The
ambidextrous crack was no match for
Guerin as he played yesterday. Mann

MIKE RILEY Of TONOPAH
AF TER ANOTHER MATCH

Mike Riley of Tonopah has broken
out in a new spot and is trying to get
Cyclone Thompson to discuss match.
The Nevada man seems to note what
fighters are in the public eve and then
enters into negotiations with them
Rileys offer TO Thompson is some
what out Of the ordinary. He wants
the Cyclone to fight Harry Lewis at
l42 pounds, although Thompson is a
lightweight He offers him so per cent
of the receipts, after paying the referee
and the preliminary fighters. This is
equal to about 75 per cent of the gross
receipts. Riley also agrees to pay the
training expenses Of the fighters.
Thompson will accept If he does not
get a match here in March with either
Britt or Hyland.
When the Supervisors select the
clubs which they will favor with per-
mits for the next year they should
take into consideration the service the
clubs have rendered the public in the
matter Of conducting fights The club
managers who have shown incompe-
tence should be rtired to private life
and the men who show considerable
for the men who patronize the shows
should be favored.
The California Club management at
its last show was nothing less than a
scandal The ushers gave no considera-
ton to ticket holders. but tried to hold
up everybody for a tip before showing
them to the seats for which they held
coupons AS this club has never been
able to cope with the evil it has been
suggested that 1t charge fiat rate for
admission to the pavilion and then let
the spectators get the seats in the
order of their arrival The Super
visors should not grant permits to
clubs which have proved unable to

should be provided with the seat for
which he holds a coupon and not find
