BOWLING
Olympic Lacrosse
Team Wins
By Bob Shand

With a lineup which bore but little
semblance to the former strong going
twelve, the Reliance lacrosse team fell
before the OlympiCs yesterday after
10 to 9. Never at any stage of the
game did the Oakland team compare
with their brethren from the city, and
toward the final part of the contest
the Olympics Stacked up and took
many liberties with their weaker op-
ponents. An interesting feature of the
game was the reappearance of J. Nc
Laughlin on the field. 1t is many
years since this once. sterling player

kind of youngster he is 1t may be men
toned in passing that his son, a strap

added a couple for the Olympics in the
next quarter, and Briggs helped the
good work along by adding point
himself. This made it to 1. Lynch
got busy for the Olympics in the third
portion and sneaked over a couple OF
goals. while Pomeroy and Sweeney
managed TO gather one each.
With the score to 1 against them
the Oakland lads took advantage of a
temporary slackness on the part OF
their opponents and had the temerity
to slip a couple of points past the Gus
todian, but Lynch and company girded
their armor a little tighter and made
the final score 10 to 8. The teams lined
up as follows:
Misunderstanding, Crilly, Burden,

Pacific Crickefers
Defeaf Alameda
San Francisco County Club Is
Victorious in Game With
Golden Gates

The Alameda cricket team suffered
its first defeat of the season at the
hands of the Pacific club by five runs.
The game was a good all round exhibit
tion of batting and bowling and was
the closest and most exciting game
played under the auspices of the Cali
fornia cricket association.
Pacifics' victory was due not to any
individual brilliancy, but to good,
steady batting as a team and the splen-
did bowling of Wilkes. 1t can safely
be said that Jameson and Langdale
turned the game from defeat to vic
tory and We're ably assisted by every
man on the team.
Jameson and Langdale were part
ners at a critical stage when the score
stood wickets for 63, and these two
men brought the score level with their
The next two men in failed to add to
the score, and it seemed as if a draw
would result. Langdale, however, made
the winning hit, the team being even
tually all out, for 95 runs, the Pacifics
thus winning by five runs.
Wilkes bowling with five wickets for
six runs was an exceptionally good
performance.
Harry Elliot, 90, played a good serv-
iceable game. Langdale, 26, could not
have played better, and Wildings, II,
also showed good form.
The first five Alameda wickets fell
very cheaply, but the last men re-
trieved the lost ground and brought the
score to 80. G. H. Ward, 21, and A.
Smith, 16, were the best of the Ala
media batsmen in the days perform

shiny patent feathers last night before
he started on a tour of the gay Barbary

hours later and took him to the harbor

strange story of a robber who held him

causes leading to suicide have been
going on for centuries, but it is not
apparent that any practical results
looking to an effective remedy have
followed such Investigations. Scien-
lists are not even agreed in the
statement that every suicide is due
to temporary insanity.
The Pittsburg Dispatch in recent
issue discusses the whole subject in
a most interesting way. Lacking ex-
act statistics" says the Dispatch, sit
may be said that a majority of the
suicides appear to be result of des-
pondency on account of lack of work;
want of the comforts of life; despair
because of the bleakness, hopeless
ness, lack of variety and interest in
life due to unavoidable conditions.
This is the view in the relation of
the physical. After this may be class
ed suicides that recur on account of
violent wrenchipg of the affections,
domestic infelicity, lack of control
of the passions which results in pos
sible ruin and disgrace"
In the matter of remedy, after
reviewing Hamlet's soliloquy on the
subject, at the conclusion of which
the melancholy Dane utterly reject
ed the temporary promptings to take
his own life, the Dispatch offers the
following: Let every person into
whose disturbed mind the thought of
suicide enters thust it aside with
the philosophical dictum that There
Is always something better than
death. No matter how cherries
and empty life may seem, no matter
what the disappointments and suffer
ing, the skies are blue, the earth is
beautiful in its infinite variety, the
world in all it's phases is an absorb
ing myriad-sided study, there is al
ways some one or some thing to love,
always a silken cord of attachment
to this life, and certainly startling
uncertainty as to what the life to
come holds for the suicide. 1t should
be a moral teaching Of the public by
all the schools, settlement workers,
clergymen, civic and chal table bod
les, all who in any capacity try to in
struct the people. that aside from all
religions and philosophers it is a
plain common sense proposition that
