JIMMIE FRlCK SOLD.
Old Kansas Third Baseman Goes to
Toronto for $3.50.

wichita. Kas.. March 21.-Third
Baseman Jimmie Friek, Of the Wich-
ita western association team, has been
sold to Toronto for $3.50. Frick viii
report to the Canadian club at once.
Frice was by many rated as the best
third baseman in the Shiveley circuit.
Not only is he an exceptionally rast
and clever fielder, and remarkable
thrower, but he hits close around the
800 mark at all times.
He was with the lola pennant win
ming team year before last IN the Mis-
souri, Valley league. When ThOlen
sold his franchise to Oklahoma City
Frick went with the team. He played
under RisIey's leadership in the Ter
ritory metropolis until the middle of
last August, when Tacoma, of the Pa
cff1c Coast league, bought him for
$500. He was played on third, his
regular position, and at once came into
newspaper notice. He led the Tacoma
league at the bat. But three weeks
was enough for him, and he wanted
to come back to sunny Kansas. He
said he did not like the coast and the
climate.
So an arrangement was made by
which Oklahoma was to get him back
and MeLear to go in his stead. Frick
returned but McLear wouldn't go.
Meantime Oklahoma was using Cap
tain Risley on third, and Frick was
sent to Wichita. Kimmel finally pur-
chased him.
Frick was to play in Wichita this
summer, and has been on the ground
here for some time working out To-
ronto's figure looked attractive to
Kimmel. and the bargain was made.
F'rick's going removes an exceedingly
interesting figure from the Shiveley
circuit.
He has had other chances to "go
up indianapolis wanted him at the
beginning Of last season, but Frick
feared he couldn't beat out the vet
eran, Carr, so he did not go.

Preacher Lectures to Political Equality
League on History Of Franchise
and Its VaIue---other Notes of In-
terest from Town by the Sea

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA. Oct. 26.--By far the
most interesting event that has ever
been held at the high school was the
first student body election, held yester-
day, when after weeks of campaigning
on the part of workers for the various
nominees for office, the following ballot
was taken; For president, Vincent
Shut, 72 votes; George Robinson, SO
votes. Vice president, Miss Elizabeth
Harrison, SS votes; Harry Borde, 81
Miss Bernice Wilson, 3S votes. The
close race between Shut and Robinson,
who are considered the most popular
young men in the school, was the par
ticuar feature of the election.
The lecture last evening by the Rev.
f. G. H. Stevens who spo.-e before the
Political Equality league at the city hall
auditorium, was we'll attended and of
q very interesting nature. His subject,
1.-THE Colonial Days, and the History of
the Franchise" was well adapted to
the occasion aud was handled by him in
a masterful manner. Mr.. Stevens dis
cussed the history OF the franchise from
the time of it's inception, going into
detail as to its value in the .colonies
mad it's effect on the intermiiYling of
civic and religious life. The speaker
was introduced by DR.. Sarah Howe
Morris.
Lack of evidence caused a dismissal
of the charge against James Garcia and
Sylvester, Mexican laborers, who were
arraigned before Justice JennesS this
morning charged with having attempt
ed to wreck an electric car near Wal
grove. 1t was shown that tie had
been thrown across the tracks and that
the men, both of whom were intoXi-
Gated, had been found in the near vi
cinity. They pleaded not guilty to the
charge.
Prof. G.. Wharton James, the noted ex-
plorer of Indian life in the west, spoke

his talk. lasting about on hour, while
he told of the traditions and discoveries
that had been brought TO his notice

will have charge of issuing the call for
the next meeting.
II was decided earlier in the after
noon to form u federation so far as the
delegates are concerned, and now IL is
up to the civic bodies of this section to
decide whether or not they will ratify
the suggested constitution of the pro-
posed organization. This semi-consti-
tuition was embodied in committee
report There was some slight opposi-
tion to certain clauses Of this report,
and after n time the constitution or
platform adopted was licked into shape.
This document provides as the objects
of the federation the extension of the
good roads system, the founding of a
public park and recreation system, the
saving OF forests for this same reason,
the simplification of tax laws and such
general legislation as the various con-
stituent bodies may indorse.
The president shall be elected at
meeting of delegates called for that
purpose. This means that a special
meeting will Have to be held to name
the head of the federation. Then each
organization represented shall have one
vice president, and the president and
vice presidents are to elect the other
officers. The officers altogether are to
be the board of directors.
One thing is certain and that is that
the federatio of Southern California
civic bodies is go, and powerful one
at that A second fact equally certain
is that the federation will be placed in
such working order that 1t will take
,ip measures it favors with the next
session of the legislature.
1t was clearly the sense of the meet
ing just prior to adjournment that mat
ters must be pushed with the utmost
speed, and it is probable that the fed
Grafton will be Incorporated before De-
cember /. The committee of five,
headed by Judge Works and Hon. John
a. Goodrich, is instructed to report the
proposed platform of principles to the
various civic bodies at once and urge
them to either ratify or reject this plat
form at once The real constitution
and BY laws will be drawn UP at sub
