provided the man with the shop ex-
perience applies the necessary amount
Of study to his work.

neering student the essential things
about a variety of styles and makes of
engines.

cerning the program arranged for the

PIONEER DAY
C0L02AD0'S CENTENNIAL Is
LARGELY ATTENDED
Vice President Fairbanks Makes the
Principal Address at the Gen.
Pike elebration-Military
Features Held
By Associated Press.

BY ASSoClatGQ PreSS.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
25.-Pioneer day, the second in the Pike
centennial celebration week, opened
auspiciously as did the week itself.
With early dawn the streets took on
most animated appearance, the trains
of last night and the early morning
adding materially to the vast throng of
outsiders who have come to partici-
pate in the celebration.
The day had been set aside by the
committee on arrangements for the
glorification of the efforts and achieve
ments of the early pioneer, the man
who blazed the trails and belonged to
the vanguard of civilization that has
made the great American desert the
land of milk and honey, whose dawn to-
day is witnessing.
The influx of pioneers from Colorado
and neighboring states made gather
ing of those interested persons that
never before has been equaled in this
section of the country. The formal
exercises were conducted in the open
air, their meeting being held at STRAIT
ton park, at the entrance to the famous
Cheyenne caynon at IL: 80 this morning.
The speakers at this meeting were
General Frank Hall. one time secre-
tary of Jefferson territory, and Judge
Wilbur F. Stone of Denver.
oWlnB 10 tne IaCI IndL IL was seen
early that the Grand opera house
would accommodate only small por-
ton OF the crowd that desired to hear
the address of Vice President Charles
w. Fairbanks, the meeting was made
an open air one instead. The vice
president spoke from the bandstand
in Acacia park and his address was
listened to Cttentively by fully 10000
persons.
He was introduced by Congressman
Frank e. Brooks, to whose efforts were
due in large degree the federal partici-
patton in the present celebration, and
seldom has a speaker received such an
ovation in this city as was accorded
Mr.. Fairbanks today.
A public reception at the home of
Congressman Brooks at 4 o'clock this
afternoon in honor of Vice President
and Mrs. Fairbanks was the chief social
event of the day.
The throng that has been present at
Camp Pike since the arrival of the army
detachments here on Friday and Satur-
day was undiminished today
The military features of today's pro-
gram consisted of dress parade by the
Twenty ninth infantry on the Cascade
avenue plaza, followed by a concert by
the Twenty-ninth Infantry band. The
polo and golf tournaments were con-
tinued today and Indian dances at the
Broadmoor and concerts by the military
band this evening will complete the
days program.

POMONA SECURES
RUGBY COACH
NORMAN DENsHAM WILL TRAIN
cLAREMoNTERs
Adopts at English Sport Are Scarce
and Coaches Are In Demand by
Institutions Who Have Adopt
ed the Game

Pomona college, which has deter
mined to accept the English Rugby
game temporarily, at least, yesterday
secured the services of Norman Dens-
ham, formerly connected with several
of the fastest British football represen-
tations.
The Pomona men are to enter upon
Rugby in the nature of an experiment,
and the English game will be given
thorough trial So great was the pres
sure brought against the American
sport toward the close of last season
that for time the native pastime ap-
peared doomed to eradication.
Pomona was among the colleges
which decided in favor of the wind
testing sport and has made arrange
ments whereby Dunsham will endeavor
to instill some of his knowledge into
the Claremont saspirants.
Rugby coaches are anything but plen-
tiful hereabouts, and those possessing
a degree of Rugby experience are much
in demand at present.

Kitty 6rashesr Appears for Action and
Secures Two Doubles During
Three Trips to the Plate

Back from, the debris north came
Captain Dillon with his Angel diamond
boys yesterday and az an opener took
the oaks down peg by winning bel
game. Although not altogether unex-
pected, the appearance of Kitty Brash-
ear at third base proved q feature OF
the occasion. Kitty has been playing
great ball In the Pennsylvania outlaw
team and, although one error was
chalked up against him yesterday, the
blonde fielder got away with a fast
game, securing a trace of doubles.
Randolph and Graham were the OPP
posing twirlers and, though both were
touched up for nearly an equal number
of hits, Randolph, with the exception OF
one round, kept his bingleS well scat
tered and the single tally scored against
him came as a result of his own error
combined with q passed ball In the
fourth inning.
Buckley and Carlisle, the new addi-
tions which Dillon made during the
recent northern voyage, were both on
the field, Buckley catching a fair game,
while Carlisle cavorteu like an old
timer in right field. The wild throws
and a single aided the Seraphs In the
opening round, when two runs were
annexed. Bunched hits in the third
and fourth helped along and the final
run came across in the seventh.
The Commuters secured their lone
talley in the fourth, after Van Haltren
was safe On Randolphs error. Kruger

HIGH SCHOOL To

COACH TRAEGER PUTTING MEN
THROUGH PAGES
Stan Mitchell Strongest Man on Ac-
ademic Eleven and Will CAPTAIN
the White and Gold Rep
resentatives

Coach Traeger of the Los Angeles
high school should have a fast football
squad ready for the initial games when
the season opens, despite the fact that
several fast men have not returned to
the hill institution.
stan Mitchell, who played last sea-
son with the local eleven, will act as
captain during the coming year and
no better general could have been se-
cured by the high school men. Nit
chell not only possesses a powerful
bulld, In addition to fast foot work,
but Is also of the type which succeeds
In the capacity of leadership
Thus far, Mitchell appears the clean
est punter on the field. though kicking
is not the captains forte. Traegers
greatest difficulty will probably be in
the development of a strong punter
and as the game this year calls for
much kicking the former Stanford
player is somewhat at a disadvantage.
Demens, who did the kicking last
year, will not return. Although a fair
punter, Demens was outclassed by the
northern kickers who appeared here
last year, and was not. particularly
strong at any other department of the
game.
Cass, > last seasons center, is also
missing, and the best available man for
the position is Silent, a husky young
acknowledgements who may devel-
op into strong man at the key place.
AS usual, the academic men are brim-
ming over with the enthusiasm which
in years past has been largely respon-
sible for the fast record made by the
local high schools teams.

WILL NOT SET DATE FOR
ANNUAL HORSE SHOW

Dates for the Los Angeles annual
horse show are to be set at the next
meeting Of the association, which will
be held the first part of October. Poll
tics appears to have taken the edge off
of the enthusiasm, but after the cam
paign is over the horse breeders will
again turn their attention to the show,
and definite plans will be formed and
the date set.
1t is the intention of the association
to make this a record meeting, and no
expense will be spared in completing
the arrangements. Many of the finest
bred horses in the country will be
snipped here, among which is Mabel
Po~ owned by Mr.. Douglas, which
will be one of the features of the show.
There is possibility that her most
dreaded opponent, Limestone Queen,
who showed at Agricultural park, will
be here to contest for the highest
honors.

BIG PAY TEMPTS
MARE ISLAND MEN
BY Associated Press


WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Marines
have been deserting the barracks on
Mare island, California, at a rate
which made 1t necessary for Brig. Gen.
G.. F. Elliott, commanding the marine
corps, to detail a second lieutenant and
several experienced enlisted men as a
squad whose sole duty is to search San
Francisco for deserters from the marine
corps.
So great has been the demand for
laborers in San Francisco that repre-
sentatives of labor agencies have been
visiting Mare island and urging the
marines to desert the service and en-
gage in work In San Francisco where
able bodied men are paid as high as SIS
a day for wheeling brick and mortar
and doing other work necessary to clear
the city of debris
Appeals by the marine corps to the
San Francisco police were futile. The
policemen refused TO arrest marines
who deserted the service and engaged
in work in San Francisco.
Finally the situation became so des-
perate that the commandant Of Mare
island appealed to General Elliott for
assistance and he authorized the
creation of a squad, which is patrolling
the city and picking up marine de-
serters,
