ST. ANTHONY LADS
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Double Defeat of St. Peters
School Five Gives Crack
Team the Title
By WILL SCARLET

st. Anthony's school, East Oakland,
can now boast the proud distinction of
having the champion basket ball team
in the Catholic Schools athletic lea que.
Having walloped all it's opponents in
the Oakland branch of the winter tour
nament, the East Oakland team took
on the crack quintet hailing from st.
Peters school. Florida street, and won
two consecutive victories.
Without detracting in the least from
the credit due the plucky little East
Oaklanders, it must be said that the st.
Peters boys put up an exceptionally
splendid fight for the trophy. In the
second championship game in particu-
lar the Missionites showed such a burst
of speed that their supporters felt as
sured OF a victory.
The tournament was splendid be-
ginning and will surely become a. regu-
lar part of the leagues yearly sports
The boys of all the schools and the of
ficials of the league as we'll have
learned some important lessons from
the series of games just completed.
And now old King Baseball is on his
throne and the parochial schoolboys
have already started to do him rever-
ence.
The class B schools, that is the in
stitutions having a team under the 10
pounds limit, will start their schedule
tomorrow at the Ocean Shore grounds.
BY the looks of things the honors
in the class A division across the bay
viii be fought for between only two
schools-St. Joseph's institute, West
Oakland, and st. Anthony's school,
East Oakland. Most of the Alameda
county schools have taken advantage
of the new class 3 division and have
entered lightweight teams for the tour
nament.
West Oakland has lost Blufie Martin
and East Oakland has lost young Ho-
garty.
The Catholic Schools athletic league
will be represented in the indoor meet
to be held in the Auditorium Wednes..
day evening under the auspices of the
alumni association of ST. Mary's col
lege. The parochial schoolboys may
enter for the rs yard run at unlimited
weight for the interschool relay race
at lis pounds Each relay race is to
consist of four runners.

LOCALS TO FIGHT
FOR EARNED HONORS
fade Best Average Score in
Pistol Shoot, but Are
Given Only Tie

That the San Francisco team of the
National Indoor Pistol league will not
be granted premier honors without a
struggle is evidenced by a letter re-
ceived by William A. Siebe, coast rep
resentative of the association, from
President A. B. Crabtree of the United
States revolver association
The San Francisco and Springfield
clubs are tied for the championship.
each club having won II and lost one
match.
The locals, however, have a much
better avera ge than the eastern shoot
ers and. according to the rules, are
entitled to the championship title.
1t was understood that the series
was to be shot under match A and B
rules of the National association, and,
according to these rules. the team hav-
ing the best average is declared the
winner.
The average of the San Francisco
team was 1000 as against 1850 of
the Springfield club.
In his letter to Siebe, Crabtree asked
for suggestion to settle the tie, but
Siebe refused TO offer any suggestion.
The local man notified the president
of the United States revolver asso-
citation that, in his opinion. the
San Francisco club won the honors
and that there was no necessity of
shooting off the tie. Siebe mailed his
reply last evening and an answer is
expected from the president of the ma
tional organization within a few days.
The phenomenal shooting done by
the pistol experts in the open prize
shoot at Shell Mound park last Sun
day is still a matte~ of comment among
marksmen throughout the country.
Four possibles were made within three
hours, and it is the general opinion
that this constitutes record. George
Armstrong; marvellous score of two
SOS is the best performance on record
at the targets across the bay. and the
other scores are away above the av-
erage.
The following clubs will shoot at the
Shell Mound range today: San Fran
cisco turner schuetzen, Gernlania
schuetzen club, San Francisco schuet-
zen verein, Norddeutscher schuetzen
club, Independent Rifles and Company

The black and green which has so
frequently been carried TO victory in
past years by the sturdy athletes OF
Cogswell school will again be worn by
collection of clever field and track
men who hope to uphold the reputation
of the school in athletics. While
number of clever men have left the
school during the last year, still there
have been a number of new men who
have come to the front and who might
fill the vacancies. The loss of Rod
Hollis and Hendricks Will be felt. as
they were certainly star performers

schoolboys. 1t showed that there We're
some good distance performers in the
school and they will be big factors in
these events.
Babe" Hollis, a brother of Rod Hol-
lis, the former star traekman, looks
as if he would follow in the path of his
brother and win honors on the track
and field. He will likely start in the
sprints. He has also shown good form
with the hammer and shot.
Captain Howe will also be depended
upon in the short distance events. He
is seasoned high school athlete and
his forte is so and 100 yard events. He
will also contest in the broad jump.

BLUE AND WHITE
HAVE STRONG NINE
Clever Individual Work and Rat

Show Class
By WILL SCARLET

Last Saturdays tussle with the
Olympic club players was one of a long
series of preliminary games which the
Sacred Heart college youths have
been pulling off with local teams pre-
vi"us to the opening of the Academic
league schedule. The blue and white
contingent have an unusually strong
nine this year and will surely put up
a strong fight for the pennant.
The most distinguished success of
the collegians this year was their win
ming of a five game series from the
crack ggregation of all star players,
the Comets. The skyscrapers man
aged to get but one game from the
Sacred Heart lads, who showed i'm
provement all along the line.
Sacred Heart college has what looks
like a shell proof battery with Jimmy
Riordan on the receiving end and Ed
die French putting them over.
One of the best stickers on the col
lege team is Goldenson, who plays
short. Colby has proved himself a
strong infielder and in case of a pinch
can be safely transferred to any in
field position.
Benneson, who holds down the ini-
tial sack for Sacred Heart, is big and
agile enough to put up fine game in
that difficult position. He has made
good in every game thus far played.
Eddie Benn, the star second baseman,
is fast on the bags and always in the
game
Dougherty. who alternates with Cap
tain OHair at third, is more than able
to hold his own in the difficult corner
n o.
execution with the big willow.
Leo Riordan has played on the COL
lege team for two years and has made
himself invaluable in the garden. Dan
ny Byrne is another veteran who has
done excellent service both in the
field and with the stick.
The splendid condition in which the
collegians find themselves at this
early stage of the season is due in
great measure to the hard work of
Coach Spider Baum, who has had the
lads in charge for several weeks.

Accused of insubordination and at

the Albion Rovers football club was
Friday night expelled from the CaIifor-

all the cup games in San Francisco and
also wanted different division of the

recommended.
The executive committee of the club
refused to allow the team to take tho
field against the Burns last Sunday and
it was principally for the latter action
that the club was expelled from the

FRICTION.
What Causes II and What Would Hap.
pen Without Il.

What Is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t Is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth: microscopic. 1t is true. but
still teeth. The result. then. Is OBJ
viOus IL we shove book across a
table the teeth of the book interlock
with the teeth OF the table just as cog
wheels do. and the push has to be
strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them off for the
motion to continue.
1t has actually been observed In a
microscope that II the push is only
slight one and moves the book only a
short distance, on the pressure of the
hand being removed the book actually
jumps back to its former position
This action Is a slight bending of the
two sets Of teeth. only not far enough
for them to lose their relative posi-
tions and their elasticity on being re.
leased makes the book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction
is not so much between different bod
| les as between bodies of the same ma
terial One industrial application Of
this Is the bearings for steel axles.
They are made of brass instead of
| steel.
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and In others as
little The former is illustrated In the
friction between an engine wheel and
the track. sand sometimes being pour
| ed on the track to increase the friction.
The latter case is illustrated In all
bearings where rotating metal Is In
contact with stationary metal. some
times ball bearings being substituted.
