HIGH SCHOOL WON.
Tcok Game From St. Mary's Hall Girls
Yesterday Afternoon.
The basketball team of the San An-
tonio High School is still champion of
the girls' team of San Antonio. They
maintained their previously won honors
by again defeating the St. Mary's Hall
girls yesterday afternoon. The score
was 5 to 9.
The previous game between these two
teams was far more one-sided than the
game of yesterday afternoon. The St.
Mary's Hall girls "have been practicing.
They played a much better game than
before and held the scores of their
rivals down to a low figure.
These teams will probably play an-
ether game.
