RESULT OF THE STAKE
MEET in SNOWFLAKE

Last Saturday the Snowflake
Stake meet was held here and
the day was a fairly good one,
with the exception of a few
showers in the afternoon, which
put the crowd to cover but left
the race track in excellent con.
dition and did not interfere
much with the outlined program.
There was not as good a turn
out propably of contestants from
the various wards as in years
past, some wards not being rep
resented, but much enthusiasm
was shown. Pinedale had the
largest representation outside of
Snowflake:
Following are the results of
the days work, many of the

county seat and seen the st. 10.
seph district school basketball
teams win over the Holbrook
district school girls team anc
the town boys team.
The afternoon was stormy but
the girls game commenced as
soon after 3 as the rain would
permit. The first half was cut
short by two minutes which
were added to the last half.
The playing on both sides was
good, free from fouls and speedy.
The home team has suffered dis
advantages because of measles
yet displayed good technique.
Miss Black of Holbrook fumbled
the ball the least of any player
on the court. 1t was a pleasure
to see the visiting girls good
team work and goal throwing.
They knew where their men
were and made speedy passes.
1t was a wonder how close they
could pass the ball by an oppo-
nent and miss the danger zone.
The forwards seemed to know
they were going to make a
basket before they threw the
ball even. With Minnie to get
the "knock-off" and Mabel to
receive the ball; Nellie and Lo-
vine to keep it from passing into
the home court, and Marie and
Malinda to throw goals, it is
hard to tell who did the best
work unless it was Minnie and
Mabel with their quick passing,
or Lovine and Nellie whose
pluck made up for size, or else
Marie and Malinda who scored
so we'll. The game god favored
the visiting team 27 to II.
Then followed the game be-
tween the st. Joseph boys and a
Holbrook mixed team. The ele-
ments objected awhile but after
the boys had braved them for a
couple of minutes, then sought
shelter again, the sky cleared up
and a pleasant game followed.
The Holbrook boys had never
played together but they showed
some good individual work. Or
thello Bates was especially agile
and alert.
The feature that has charac-
terized the visiting team before,
distinguished them once more as
a most clever "teaming" team.
Even heavy load Of mud stick
ing to their shoes could not pre-
vent their moving swiftly over
the court, and catching the ball
in mid-air only to deliver it again
before lighting a second time.
The thing that ran their score
up so high was the way they
threw baskets. If a man caught
the ball and a teammate was
not in sight quickly enough to
receive it, the one who hap
pened to have it would shoot a
goal, reckless though it was.
Those who did themselves most
credit were: Leslie, playing
from center to every corner and
back to where he could make a
basket; Rial, who deliberately
rolled 'em in" Lawrence, who
played his man and played him
we'll but couldn't refrain from
shooting basket from the cor
ner of the court; irwin, who not
only played his man but played
the ball as well; and Ammon,
who went down the court to
help play thess ball up to the
basket, then scored his share of
points. The game ended in a
score of 81 to 9 in favor St. Joe.
Mr.. Smith of St. Joe and Miss
Clock of Holbrook refereed and
umpired the games. All the
players showed splendid good

of the bout If the decision had been
a draw it would have satisfied most
everyone present but as a general
rule the ordinary spectator does not
take the account of the landing OF
many of the blows which are credit
ed the fighter. 1t goes without say
ing that both of the boys were eX-
tremely clever and We might look for
ward to them making a record for
themselves later on.
The program consisted of seven
bouts, the feature OF which was the
mill between A. Dome and L. Tros-
clair. in the 109-pound class. The
latter lost by very close margin. An
other interesting bout was that be
tween Lopresto, weighing IS pounds.
and TrOyato. weighing so pounds,
Trovato won dispite his disadvantage
in weight.
Coach Jack Bowling was match
maker and Buddy Griffin referee. Med
ais were awarded the winners after
the stag by Secretary Benedetto.
Results were as follows: Trovato, so

McDerby, 11S pounds. won over Al.

in 122-pound class; c. Romano
knocked out H. Trosclair in second

notably true of the last bout when the

that his opponent Mr.. A. Dome,

On last Monday afternoon the
store of the John Kleinkemper &
Co.. corner Verret and Alix streets,
was robbed in broad day light, the
thief having been in the store and
watched an opportunity when no
one was looking to open the cash
register and extracted therefrom an
amount of money not positively
known to the firm. 1t is estimated
that between eight and twelve dol
lars was taken. No arrest has been
made as yet, but it is expected that
the culprit will be brought to justice
sooner or later. There is strong
evidence at hand that the guilty
party is known.
