First period-Driscoll.

Sixth period-Lawson and Hobart (2).
Those who journeyed down to
Charles W. Clarks field at Ell Paio-
mar, San Mateo. yesterday were more
than repaid for the trouble. Not only
did they see the best game of the
season. but the play was punctuated
by an accident which although most
thrilling, luckily did not terminate
fatally or injurious in the slightest de-
gree, either to the rider or the pony.
During the second period, just after
a sharp rally, w. L. Breeze goV away
flying and as the ball was being re-
turned tried to check his pony. The
pony went down in the slippery turf
and Breeze landed on his shoulder and
hip.
His momentum was so great that
he shot along for nearly As feet. The
pony recovered first and cantered to
the paddock. Breeze arose and walked
over and captured his mount apparent
ly without the slightest inconvenience
from the fall.
The sides were evenly matched, and
there was no attempt at individual
play, the men striving to make their
winning points by team combinations.
The play was fast and not marred by
the men punching over the ball trying
to get it going.
To look away from the field meant
to miss some good play and when the
sixth period ended the spectators felt
they had seen game that was nearer
the standard
Cyril Tobin was in the game for the
first time this year and considering
that he only played a few games
last year he was a surprise to his
friends He played close up to his old
form, hitting strong and true, and only
lacked little of his old time steam.
This can be easily accounted for in the
lack of practice.
Teddy Howard played by far the
Steadiest game he has played this sea-
son. Breeze and MeCreery showed i'm
provement over their previous games.
r. NJ. Tobin, Lawson, Driscon and
Hobart the Burlingame team, were all
in form, except Lawson does not seem
to have his batting eye.
The game started off with the Whites
taking possession of the situation. In
the first two periods they scored three
goals. There was no scoring in the
third and fourth and in the fifth Cyril
Tobfn got clear and scored the fourth.
This ended their scoring. for in the
sixth the Reds. who had been danger
Gus all through the game. keeping the
ball well in the territory of the Whites,
took 2 firm stand and forced the play
ing.
Lawson scored shortly after the~.baII
was put in play and soon afterward
Hobart made an easy goal The Whites
then took a bracer and held the Reds
down until just before the bell for the
end of the game. when Hobart from
the far side of the field, at hard angle
of fully so yards, drove a high ball
that went clear over the goal posts
From the way the Reds were playing
at this time it looked as If a couple
minutes more Of play would have tied
the score
From the fact that the two sides were
so evenly matched the players have
been asked to line up again in the
same order for next Sunday.
