The baseball teams of the z. S. c.

Of Osteopathy met yesterday afternoon
on the Bovard field TO decide the su-
premacy of the national game between
these teams. The game ended in the
seventh inning with the score of IL to 9
in favor of the lawyers. At best the
game was a poor exhibition, being
marred by numerous errors. The total
number of errors was SO. Twenty-ane
of these were made by the doctors.
Bernard of the Los Angeles profess
siUnals is a member of the Osteopathic
team and he too seemed to have an Off
day. He started the game at short
stop, but after the first inning tried his
hand at tossing the rawhide. In the
last of the fifth he was hit several
times, and tn ese, assisted by numerous
errors, scored five runs.
The lawyers scored four runs in the
first inning on hit by Selph and errors
by the doctors. Dickerson, Mcknight,
Barman and Selph crossed the rubber.
The doctors started their count in the
third. Bernard bunted and was safe
on first Risley hit to ST. rt, who threw
wild to first, and both men scored.
In the fourth Browne of the law team
made the circuit on errors. The doc

short and Jones scored. Bernard scored
a moment later on an error by the
pitcher.

common thing in these diggings.
Jeff's new arena is complete in every
detail, and now it's a case of wait until
Mike Twin Sullivan and Jimmy Gard
ner decorate the ring with their
presence next Thursday night.
To most persons Vernon sounds like
long ways from the center of town,
but after they once go to the new
arena and note how easy it is to reach
this idea will be dispelled. Automobile
trips in eight minutes are common
occurrences, and from Spring street it
is only a fifteen minutes ride on the
cars.
JEFF and Baron Long had hard
enough time spearing their first match,
and now that they have it the pro-
moters consider it about as good a
cara as could be picked out for the
opening attraction. While it is gener-
ally thought that Sullivan will not
really fight, Jeff intends to make him
perform right up to the scratch, and
anything that looks like stalling will
call down the big fellows wrath on
Mikes shiny pate.
"There'll either be a fight or no per-
formance at our opening Show" says
Jeffries. IF either Sullivan or Gard
ner displays any signs of loafing while
in the ring I'll stop the affair right on
the. minute and give those who attend
their money back. This is no bluff, so
you can bet that it will be a real
battle"
Both Sullivan and Gardner will hold
forth at their respective camps this
afternoon. and a good program of
events has been arranged for Arcadia
and Jack Doyle's place in Vernon. The
sparring partners will be paraded as
fall guys, and it is expected that big
b.nch of fans will turn out.
Sullivan's talk about being unable to
make the weight when the. match was
first broached was evidently stall.
for Mike is down to less than 144
pounds and is strong as a bull He will
taper off work early in the week and
expects to put in Wednesday and
Thursday as leisurely as possible.
Gardner never does have trouble in
making the welterweight figure, and is
not worrying along that score. and
Jimmy is satisfied with the benefits he
has derived from it.
