Poly Loses by Score
of 5 to [
Academic Students Break All Local
Records for Noise Making, and the
Din Continues Until Final
Man Goes Out

More people but probably never so
much noise was gathered in Los An
geles as that attendant upon yester-
days victory Of the Los Angeles high
school baseball team over Polytech-
MICS nine,
Boiler factories are generally sup
posed to represent the acme of discord-
ant vibration, but such a supposition
proved a misnomer yesterday when the
leather-lunged young rooters roareu
themselves into a frenzy.
The din was indescribable, and the
methods used were strictly up TO date
Perhaps the Poly rooters outdid their
opponents. At any rate the "self-goV-
ernment'' lads and lassies brought
along diabolical appliances which were
used in connection with the powerful
voice apparatus that California alone
produces.
Resin was spread over section of
the grand stand rail, and along this
several Polytechnic strong men swept
a board back and forth. The effect was
similar to an elephant snore and re-
yerberated above the deafening chorus
OF yells, horns, whistles, drums, cor
nets and other instruments calculated
to destroy silence and reason.
Not for one second during the after
noon ulQ d CGSSdllOIl ONIui' iAiS AiACNS
Los Angeles scored against Frampton
the more did Polytechnic shatter the
atmosphere with encouraging admonf-
tions to their diamond heroes.
Polytechnic lost the game, but one
thing is certain: the self government
young men and women are by all odds
the greatest rooters, individually ana
collectively, that ever made noise IN
Southern California.
Their work was not of the bung!lns
sort. either. When Beamer. the Los
Angeles twirler. walked toward the box
he was given as rousing SEND or py
the Poly folks as any of their own men
received during the afternoon.
AS for the game, too many errors oc-
Cured Poly appeared nervous, ana al
though Frampton lobbed them over
cleverly enough, he lost his head with
men on bases.
PoIys Err Badly
The Poly infield was not up to snuff
and fell away from the form displayed
in other games of the season. High
school. on the other hand, held together
we'll at critical times and gave Beamer
nice support.
To Beamer is largely due the Los An
eeles victory, though with Poly max
ing less errors he would have been
given a hard run. Beamer struck out
thirteen men in all ana SIX OIL Ihese
famed successfully.
Stan Mitchell behind the Los Angeles
plate caught a fast game, coming away
with twelve putouts and four assists.
The husky high school captain did not
have on batting clothes, and with MS
fellows was not able to find Frampton
to any extent.
Four base hits formed the sum total
of Los Angeles hits, but POLYTECHNIC
fielding made scoring easy.
los Angeles high took the field amid
n storm of cheers from the blue and
white populace gathered for the fray.
Lee. the Polytechnic Chinese left
fielder. came first to bat. Lee squinted
his slanty eyes and swung at one OF
Beamer's benders. The sphere went
foul and high. Mitchell sprinted to-
ward the stand and managed to get the
ball in his glove as it dropped.
The leather bounded away, but
lucky bare hand stab gave the Los An
geles rooters a chance to shake the
earth again. Beamer displayed class at
the start by striking out Price and
Frampton.
Frampton appeared nervous and
walked Bricker, the first Los Angeles
man to face him. Right off the bat
came another explosive session. Cass,
in an endeavor to sacrifice, bunted in
front of the plate. Frampton darted in,
seized the ball and made as though to
force Bricker at second.
Seeing it was too late, Frampton shot
the sphere toward first, but his throw
was wild. Bricker sprinted with every
good intention toward home. The Los
Angeles section was bereft of reason by
this time and stood yelling like all pos
sessed while Bricker's legs twinkled
around the bases.
