Old Champions Played

Many of the players in yesterdays
game were one-time champions in
Canada a generation ago, and though
showing the marks of age they played
squarely up to the standard of any of
the younger players, and in many cases
excelled them. This was especially true
of "Old Ironsides' McAteer, who ram
bled around the lot with his 46 or AZ
years of age with all the friskiness of
a spring lamb.
The two teams were pitted against
each other as a tryout of the best local
material from which to select q team
of twelve men to meet the sturdy
lacrosse team from the Olympic club
of San Francisco, which comes to this
city next Saturday for a series of games
on that day and the following Sunday.

INTERURBAN LEAGUE

Fast and snappy ball resulted from
the schedule of games arranged for
yesterday afternoon in the Interurban
league, although in several instances
the results were very unexpected The
two teams, the San Felice and Palms
mines, which have been heading the
league, both remained on the long end
of yesterdays scores, and the keenest
rivalry prevails between the members
of the respective clubs as to which one
shall still boast 1000 per cent stand
ing when the two teams clash. A one
sided game was held at Covina, the
local players winning by the score of
1870. Miller twirled a great game for
the San Felice nine, shutting out the
Racycles by a large score. At three
different times did the visitors have
men on second and third bases, but
the day was saved in every instance
by Miller, who famed man after man.
The Covina boys on the contrary.
pounded Tom Clark numerically Mer-
win and Miller each landing on him
for threebase hits, in addition to six
of the team. Graf made several spec
tacular catches and was the fielding
sensation of the afternoon. Chess was
invincible in the backstop position,
making perfect throws to the middle
sack The Racycles played fair ball,
but were outpolnted outclassed and
outplayed at every stage of the game.

scored 1924, the eastern club winning
the contest by forty-one points. The

local club has held fourteen contests
with other shooting organizations, win

Scheme of Game

The scheme of the game Is not unlike
basketball, the difference, however, be-
ing that a small ball the size of a base
ball is used, which is passed across the
field from goal to goal by the rival
teams by means of a long, rakish look
ing racquet, one side of which is a bent
hardwood, while the other side is a
faulty drawn leash of sheepskin, sheep
skin strips also being used in forming
a loosely woven mesh into which the
ball sinks when caught. The racquet
thus takes the part of catching gloves
and the human hand-as the latter are
employed in the American national
game-and is also used to throw the
bali to different portions of the field.
So accurately may the ball be handled
in passing the ball from player to
player that an adept can throw the ball
as far with a racquet or even farther,
than the average ball player, and the
ball is likewise caught with equal ac-
curacy in the sheepskin netting of the
racquet.
The ball is put into play from the
center of the field the same as In
basketball and is passed from player to
player in the direction of one or the
other of the opposing goals the idea be-
ling to pass the ball through line of
defenders of the goal and to strike a
net, which corresponds to the basket in
basketball. The game is revived from
the old Indian game and can wake the
bleachers to every whit as much en-
thusiasm as our own favorite national

outfitters Are Defeated

In one of the fastest games ever held
on the Palms diamond the Palms base
ball nine defeated the Eastern Out
filters in a close and almost errorless
game by a score of Az. The game was
a pitchers battle between Saenz of the
Bean Growers and Hawkins of the
Cripples. Saenz proved himself the
better twirler of the two by tanning
fourteen men, as compared with Haw-
kins' seven. The Bean Growers made
their first two runs in the first inning
when Forney drove a liner to Cass
who fumbled the ball. Saenz singled
TO right, and Martquez drove a hot
one to Lind, who in turn whipped the
ball to Mueller, who dropped the ball,
allowing both men to score. From this
point on the Outfitters never gained
run on their opponents. The figures:

second baseman for the Nationals,
made a sensational one hand catch in
the third inning of a swift liner over
second base, making double play by
catching the runner off at first. The
Nationals are playing in major league
form and should prove a good match
for any local team playing independ-
