quested to consider favorably the request of the
Sutter Street Railroad company to use the outer

 It was gloriously fast at times. Burley's team won by 33 to 24 but Thompson's boys have as good a chance to win if they play again.
 Burley was the first to score for his side and Thompson was the first to score for his own. Some pretty work between Broste and Eurlev marked the opening.
 After a short delay Burley contin- ued his work. Lewis got the basket after quick passage at arms and Burley later stole up the full length of the hall and got there. Lehmann was the next to score and about thl. time Charley Thompson did some fine work but was unlucky. LehTann scored again. after some good pass inr but Charley got in irctty basket.
 AL the DeSlnIlHS oi tn' sc'ol'i half Ralph Lomen made q splendid shot that went home from nearly half way down the hall. ThompsCn worked like q demon. Montgomery and Lewis scored. Lomen after quick work scored again anl the play became fine. Scores soon afCer- wards were made by Lewis and Loh- mann and Charlie and his men put the Burley bunch on the defensive. After relief came Broste gothomc, but Thompson evened up. Bur'ey's g boys made several attempts but were foiled every time. Toward the enc both sides were awarded fouls to- gether but both were missed.

 After two beautiful slides on his head Murane stole all around the bases and home in the second. O'Neill and Lomen were also conspicuous. Polet and Dugar were unable to manipulate Bruner's beauties and very little happened until Russ Downing got first. Divine reached third before Dugar fell.
 Lawrence Kerr was the hero of the third inning. He slipped through the arms of them all like a greased -anything-and stole every base and home. Grigsby made a home run. This time the bases got full and Swiper Cochran got the first gallery hit. Jones got home and so did O. D.
 George Dugar just about that time put out his ar into a ball that was ifaveiing some distance away. George stuck out his hand as one would wave at a passing train. The ball hit his open palm and stayed there. AS the crowd cheered look of agonixed surprise stole over the Dugar features. Daniels got home. Taggart stole all the way around. Samuel did wonders.
