the present time without sense of pride
in race and country. peileVe tnat the
repugnance to the stanoihg army OF COD
siderable size is rapidly growing less.

every patriotic American that during our
whole existence as a nation, the army
of the United States has always been
faithful to it's trust.

ON THE GRIDIRON

1t is source of great regret that the
Phoenix Indian school eleven has no more
games scheduled for this city. They play
a hard, snappy game OF football and exhibit
the spirit OF trne sportsmen in accepting
defeat without kicking or grumbling They
had game conditionally arranged with the
eleven OF the high school, but the negotia
tons fel through. Such game would have
been a fine exhibition of the sport and
would have drawn a big crowd.
The high school boys assume the position
that as they defeated the T. S. c. team
early in the season, the Indians are not en-
titled to recognition at their hands, and
refuse to give the Arizona team game
Their position is anything but sportsman
like, as anyone who saw Saturdays game
knows that the Indians play game that the
light team OF the high school would find
very difficult to stop.
The redmen had game scheduled with
Pomona college for the 18th, but the college
boys called it off, as several of their play
ers are still suffering from injuries re-
celved on Thanksgiving, and the rest of the
team has disorganized and gone out of train
ing. Next Thursday the Indians will go to
Santa Barbara, accompanied by their brass
band, and play the eleven of the Santa Bar
bara Athletic club

mia eleven defeated the Indians Saturday

companied by childish exhibition of ill.,
temper. Their dark-skinned opponents set

CRICKET

The old English game seems to have taken
fresh root in Southern California, and the
successful organization of a strong club in
Los Angeles should assure its substantial
growth. The chief objection to the liking
of games" is that few men in America can
devote time enough to it's pursuit, for a
match takes at least one full day, generally
two, and often three days, to be brought to
finish. Compared with baseball, cricket is
slow game for the ordinary spectator, and
it is always puzzle to the uninitiated why
so many players should have so little to do
for so long. But the native Britisher who
was taught to handle bat almost before he
could hold pencil, retains his love for the
game, which as combination of skill, ac-
tivity and muscle has never been equaled.
There are already clubs at Riverside, On
tario, Santa Monica, Duarte and San Luis
Rey, but they have led somewhat spas
lnodic existence, which can only be improved
by the permanent establishment of a strong
club in central location.
Such club is now promised. The men
that have taken hold Of the project are cap
able and energetic, all cricketers of ex-
perience and should force the game to some
recognition.
A good ground is being negotiated for, and
with this important point settled, series of
matches will be arranged. There is suf-
ficient materisl lhere to form the nucleus of

Munton had been connected with the local
coursing club since its organization.
The coursing, which was well attended,
was unusually good. The Rivera kennel,
owner of Kitty Scott and Queen Kelp, came
in for more than its share of stakes. Kitty
Scott captured first money, while her adopt.
ed sister, Queen Kelp, carried off second
honors. Yesterdays, victory places five
to the credit of Kitty Scott, who is beyond
doubt the best dog taht has ever run on the
local ground Less fortunate owners were
loud in their protests yesterday. They
claim that Manager Black should reopen
the consolation stake, and give the less
speedy dogs chance to win back their en-
try fee. 1t is said that an attempt will
De made by the management to have the
Klvera kennel keep the two "crackerjacks'
out OF next Sundays events. In case this
fails beaten dog stake" may be added.
lhe only disagreeable feature of the day
was charge of ''welching' made against
