Preparatory Schools
Pay Little Attention
To Sports This Year

San Francisco, Cal. July 2.-While
-nuch consideration has been given to
ne athletic status Of various sports
!Inong the colleges and universities as
a result OF the war. little attention has
been paid to the preparatory schools.
A summary of the report received
from various sections Of the country
probably would show that the schools
are enjoying as prosperous a time as
is recorded in their history. Prac-
tically untouched by either the draft
or the volunteer system owing to the
fact that the boys are well under
service age, and also by reason of the
endorsement given athletics in general
by army authorities, scholastic sport
in all lines is being we'll patronized.
Sport among the preparatory
schools of southern California for in
stance. from whence come reports Of
exceedingly close interscholastic COM
petition, probably represents condi-
tons as existing in other communi-
ties. The northwest has staged some
competition among the boys which
ranks we'll up with performances of
past years.
With the closing of the schools the
youngsters are beginning to make use
Of their speed and Drawn by volun-
teering to help put in the fields wher-
ever there is a shortage of labor to
gather crops Of various kinds.

EIGHTEEN MEN DIE
ON BASES In A GAME
PLAYED IN THE WEST

San Francisco, Cal. July 2.-Eigh-
teen men left on bases was the un-
usual quota of players of the San
Francisco team of the Pacific Coast
league to die on the bases'' in a game
against the Salt Lakers played in their
last series. Three times the Seals had
the bases filed with only one man out
Only one of these runners succeeded
in crossing the home plate.
In this, followers of the local team
believe they have a reason for the
poor standing Of the club in the
league, namely. their inability to hit
when hits will bring In runs. This sit
uation has been frequent during the
season. OF the Seal players. Maggart
has been about the only one able to
connect with the ball in a crisis. His
opportune hits have resulted in win
ming several games for his club in the
last inning.
While Maggart's batting average 10
not an imposing one yet his hits prob
ably have yielded as much to the final
result as those of players who lead
him in the percentage column. Taken
as the whole the team batting average
among the regulars last season at this
time was approximately fifteen points
better than 1t now Is.

fact that Miss Fanny Durack the Aus

asked to be shown some bathing
suits. Several were shown him, and
after a time he made a choice, Sc
lecting one priced at 1925. He ten
dered in payment a check drawn on
the Deposit and Peoples Bank, OF
this city, for $3.50. The check was
signed with the name of John
Toles.''
Becoming suspicious of the mans
actions, Mr.. Snapp telephoned to Mr..
Towles, whose name it was presumed
the man had endeavored to forge to
the check, and received a reply that
he had no account at that bank, and
that he had given no check to any
one for any amount on that date.
When Mr.. Snapp returned the man
had disappeared. Mr.. Silas Bedford,
of the Deposit and Peoples Bank,
was also notified, and sent the warn
ing that some clever forgers were at
work in the city, though he did not
make any specific revelations.
Mr. Snapp still has the bathing
suit and the check as souvenirs or
the mans visit.
