PASADENA, Dec. 2.--The second
days session of the Y. M. G.. A. older
boys conference was intensely practi-
cal and helpful. The following per-
manent officers were first duly In
stalled. President, Harold Ryerson of
Pasadena first vice president, Marcus
Lee of Los Angeles; second vice presi-
dent, Hugh Weldon of Santa Barbara;
secretary, Claude Coffing of Riverside;
assistant secretary, Earl Flanders of
Pasadena. In the forenoon the ques-
ton of grouping In association work
was considered, two well prepared
papers being read and discussed. In
the afternoon the opportunity and OBJ
legation of the boys department to the
boys of the community was discussed
under three heads-the boy in school,
the boy who earns his living and the
boy on the street. Tonight II. p. Sharp
of Los Angeles gave a very entertain
ing address upon certain phases Of as
sociation life, particularly the boys
camps which are now so popular The
athletic feature has not been neglected
by the convention. In the first place
series of field and gymnastic contests
were held between the formal sessions.
Los Angeles won first place here with
1899 points, Pasadena second with 1920
points and Riverside third with 1877
points The silver medal for best all
around work was awarded to Roy Hol-
man of Riverside, and Herbert Shut

two exciting games of basketball were
played on the association courts. In
the first Long Beach defeated Los An
geles by the score of 20 to 10. Follow
ing this game Immediately was as close
a contest between Riverside and Pasa-
dena teams, Riverside carrying off the
honors by the score of 16 to Is. In this
game Coping Of Riverside and Collier
of Pasadena were the star players. The
close scores Indicate how evenly
matched the opposing teams were and
tell in a degree how much enthusiasm
was evoked by each.

Another Huntington Purchase
u.
Macomber and the syndicate which
they are supposed to represent closed
another important deal today by which
they acquired the Solomon Richardson
ranch of fifty-five acres adjoining the
Oak Knoll tract on the south The
consideration is stated to have been
$780, 900. The property lies between the
Maybury ranch, already the property
of Mr.. Huntington, and the Los Robes
ranch. The several purchases already
announced and the reported 100000 I'M
provements upon the oak Knoll tract
alone will run the value of the Hunt

million dollars 1t is rumored that
more purchases are to follow quickly

he rests to obtain property interests
I'm and around Pasadena aggregating

the builders of which are not yet known
to the public. ,
