NORTH SIDE news
East Side HOrSeShOerS Defeats
North Side.
Margin Was FOrty-TWO Points
Favor of Winners.

The second time the North SIDE
Horseshoe team met defeat last nlsht.
a series of three contests were held
with the East Side team, resulting IN
a victory for the East Side by a margin
OF forty-two points. The only other
time the North Side has been defeated
was a few weeks ago when the Won
derfuI Weirs'' of the Silver Lake team
helped the s L. team win a victory.
The North Side horseshoe pitchers
say that the East Side brought their
best pitchers with them but they them
selves did not have their best material
ast night. The only game the North
SIDE won was the first one in the sec
ond alley when the score stood 1O2 to
loo in favor of the North Side.
However, the First ward people are
by no means discouraged and the de-
feated people feel that the game last
night simply showed that it was up to
many of them to practice a little more.
North Side team has been accepted.
but no further word has come from the
other town.
The score follows:
Alley 1: East Side-Warner, SO; Mi
chaels. Al; total. 10. North Side:

TIRE BLOWS AND GAR HTS FREIGHT HOUSE No One Injured But Repairs
 Are Needed for
 Automobile

An automobile accident in which no one was injured occurred on Naco road Sunday afternoon. Sam Rosen stein, whose trade name is Uncle Sam" wos driving his car westerly along Naco road, and when opposite the offices of the Mountain States Telephone company, one of the tires blew out.
 The machine veered first to the right and then turned sharply to the left, tanning its nose into the brick wall of the Southwestern freight house It is needless to say that the wall did not move, and the ma chine got the worst of the collision. The front wheels of the car paved the wall, while the rear wheels oc- cupied the foot and half ditch made by excavations in laying new gas mains Two ladies were in the car with Mr Rosenstein. No one was injured. Good fortue sticks to 'Un- cle sam" more closely than brother. He has had a number of accidents with his machine, but he has come out of every one with a whole skin.
