Those are two separate and COM

days scheduled exhibition game be-
tween the Boston Red Sox and the
San Antonio Bears at League Park.
They were wormed out OF the bat

batboy was the last resort. Every

ST. MARKS JUNIORS
WIND UP SEASON WITH
Ia VICTORIES IN ROW
Come Back in Second Half
to Take Final From
Prospect Hill.

st. Marks Episeopalians, junior
Sunday School basketball champions,
trounced the Prospect Hill Presby-
terians, 10 to II, Friday night in a
post series game. st. Marks boys
thus scored their fourteenth consecu-
tive victory~this season and remained
undefeated.
The Presbyterians are runnersup in
the junior world SERIES" This was
decided some days ago but the Epis-
copalians decided to play again in
order to dispense any doubts as to
their right to the title.
At that, the Episcopalians were
trailing the Presbyterians, 6 to 4. at
the half. With the score standing
against them the Episcopalians were
eloquently lectured by Eddie Barrett,
star forward of the senior st. Marks
team. and went back into the game
during the second half with the fight
ing spirit which finally pulled them
through.
Bobbie Hill probably deserves the
most credit for the st. Marks victory.
He used the tactics Foster, the Texas
University guard, used in shadowing
Darby of the Texas Aggies and kept
Burkhardt, the scoring wonder Of the
Presbyterians down to one field goal.
Kennedy was high point man for
st. Marks with three field goals and
two fouls. Dunsmore got three field
goals and Hinojosa played a good in
dividual guard position with Hill.
Reigler did most of the Presby-
terian's scoring with three field goals.
The two guards, B. and W. Murray.
showed up well for the Prospect Hill
lads.
The winning st. Marks Episcopalian
junior team was coached through its
successful season by Johnny Dunsmore
who worked hard in order to win the
championship. Dunsmore coached the
team last year but lost out in the
world series" to the Travis Park
Methodists. This year he determined
to put a sure-enough championship
combination into the field and he sue
ceeded to gratifying degree.
The lineups: st. Mark s-Kennedy.

Hill, Hinojosa, guards. Prospect Hill

Only one more Sunday School
championship remains to be decided.

CHICAGO POLOISTS
DEFEATED BY CORPS
AREA HEADQUARTERS
North Shore Club -Four
Makes Last Appearance
Here Sunday.

The Eighth Corps Area Headquar-
tiers polo team administered de
feat to the North Shore Club team
of Chicago, on visit to San An
tonic, by a score of to 4, Friday
afternoon on the Cavalry Post field
at Fort Sam Houston. The game
was fast, due in part to the excel
lent condition of the field.
AS regularly as each chukker came
around in the first half the Headquar-
tiers four made goal while the visi-
tors were able TO make only one in
four periods. The North Shore cluii
began to score regularly at the be-
ginning of the second half and threat
ened to overcome the Headquarters
lead. They scored once in the fifth,
sixth and seventh chukkers. In the
sixth. Headquarters was leading. i
to 3, and in the seventh, ) TO 4. Two
goals in the eighth gave Headquar-
tiers a. safe margin Of victory.
The game was openly played but
the strOking was erratic at best with
misses occurring at inopportune mo-
ments on both sides. At times, how
ever, star players broke loose for a
series of long shots.
Colonel TompEins' performance at
forward position on the Headquar-
tiers team. although not as consist
emily brilliant as usual, was pro-
ductive of the most goals. He goaled
four times i'll as many periods dur
ing the game. Mr.. Meskill goalsd
twice and Lieutenant Jones drove one
ball between the posts for one point.
Captain Hettinger was in the lime
light, IS usual.
Mr.. Barger of the North Shore
Club, mixed hard riding with hard
hitting. He scored one goal dur
ing the six chukkers he played. Carl
Crawford was off his usual game and
scored only one goal. His game inn
proved considerably in the late per
iods. Herbert Lorber played good
defensive game at back and, in addi-
ton. goaled twice. This was one goal
more than was registered by any OF
the other visitors.
The North Shore Club probably will
make its last appearance here Sun
day afternoon against the Fort Sam
Houston All-Stars on the Cavalry
Post field. The game will start Of
8 o'clock. Monday morning the visi
tors are scheduled to leave for Chi
cago.
The final Of the San Antonio Polo
Club cup tournament is scheduled at
o'clock Saturday afternoon al
breckenridge Park field between the
Second Division and the Fourth Field
Artillery.

A DIFFERENT LYNCH
Dethroned Champion a Changed Man
Since Last Title Fight.
By FAIRPIAY,

Copyright by The san Antonio Light.
New York, March 22.-The Joe
Lynch who lost the bantamweight
championship Friday night to Abe
Goldstein was as different from the
fighter who won the title from Johnny
Buff nearly two years ago as day from
night. This statement is not meant TO
detract from the merit of Goldstein'
victory. for the new champion fought
a clever battle which showed nearly
all the qualifications champion
should possess except knockout
punch.
Lynch long has been known as an
"in-and-outer.' bis good or bad battle
seeming to depend on whether he was
in or out at night during the training
period. Friday night he was slow and
uncertain and a thorough disappoinr-
ment to his admirers.
The new champion undoubtedly
owes much of his success to his man
ager. Willie Lewis.
Watch Bud Taylor. the Terre Hau.e
battler. who participated in the un-
fortunate bout in New York against
frankie Jerome. Taylor is a wicked
hitter and likes to fight. Bud was al

lenged the winner. But before that

The Breckenridge High "Cannonad

Friday afternoon, with one of the nine
lives that the cats-the Del Rio High
wild Cats'-are reputed to have
and with hopes OF sending the wild fe-
lines back TO their border home after
the second game Saturday minus an

did not have to push very hard to get
thirteen men across home plate, while
the Wild Cate got only four runs in.
