|. A. HIGH AND
OAKLAND MEET
CONTEST FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
OF CALIFORNIA
Track and Field Events Scheduled for
Bovard Field Thursday-Locals
Are Confident of
Victory

Los Angeles high and Oakland will
meet on Bovard field Thursday to de-
eide the track and field championship
of California. With the advantage of
having all her best men available and
also knowing the track it is expected
by many that the local boys will de-
feat their northern neighbors as they
did Saturday.
At the Stanford meet Oakland was
way ahead of the southern lads, Los
Angeles high coming third in the race.
At the U. S. c. field Saturday the high
school boys took the championship.
Both teams have now won first place
and decided to settle the question of
supremacy at once.
The high school boys by their vic
tory Saturday won the ownership of
a handsome loving cup and a trophy
in the shape of a large silver pitcher.
This being the third time the trophies
have been won by Los Angeles high,
both are now the property of the high
school.
The lineup of the local boys for the
different events will be as follows:
10O-yard dash-Coleman, Moore, Good
win.
22O-yard dash-Coleman, Ketchum, Ken
nedy.
4l6;yard dash-Felzenthal, Lawton,
Goodwin.
SSO-yards free-Maddox, Fullerton, Pills
bury.
Mile dash-Seward, Clark.

Johnny Thompson and his manager,

Tommy Burns, who looks after Jimmy
Burns Thompson's opponent, was about

greetings were exchanged, and Thomp-

discuss few preliminary details.

thompson looks better than ever be-

not been weak from efforts to make

Burns and Cyclone are scheduled to

OPENS CAMPAIGN
FOR EXTENSION
HOPES TO RAISE $4,000
DURING MONTH
Rev. Dana w. Bartett's Friends Aid
in Gathering Funds for Carry
ing Out Work Where
Most Needed

Yesterday, the first day of the active
campaign to raise $4,000 during the
month of April for the Bethlehem IN
stitutional work, resulted in the ,secur-
ing of $1,000 for the good work of carry
ing forth the central thought of the in
stitution, the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man.
Rev. Dana w. Bartlett the founder
and pastor, has been actively inter-
ested in the work the past eleven years
and has gradually extended the work
until now there are five institutions and
it. is to establish another mems hotel
and to further equip the work already
started that the campaign for the $780,
600 has been inaugurated
In response to pledge cards sent out
during the past two weeks the sum
already subscribed is $2699.5O, which
has greatly encouraged the workers.
1t is hoped by the support urs that by
patient and strenuous work on the part
of the helpers that the needed money
will be in their hands by the end of the
month and that service commemorate
ing the event will be held May in the
Temple auditorium, which will mark
the eleventh anniversary of Rev. Mr.,
Bartlett in the work.

HONEY MELLODi
IS ABSTEMIOUS
WELTER CHAMPION ALWAYS
IN CONDITION
Prospective Opponent Of Mike erwin"
Sullivan Is a Natural Fighter,
Much After the style Of
Terry McGovern

Los Angeles ring fans will soon be
looking up the record of Honey Mel
lody, who is scheduled to meet Mike
Twin Sullivan at Maud Junction pa
vilion. Here are few facts relative
to Mellodys methods:
In many respects William Melody,
better known as Honey" Melody, well
terweight champion fighter, differs
from the ordinary prize ring expert.
In the first place he is the most re-
ligious champion in the world and in
the next place he has no desire to go
on the stage. Every Sunday of his life
he goes to church, and in the afternoon
he takes charge of a Sunday school
class.
Honey" has never used tobacco in
any shape, and he has yet to taste in
toXicating liquor. From his earliest
childhood he has been imbued with the
desire to be a fighter and he has done
everything in his power to keep him
self in the best physical condition AS
result, at the age of % years he
wears the crown of welterweight cham
pion.
Melody was born in Charlestown,
Mass, and he lives there now. Unlike
all other champions, Honey" does
not go away from home on long train
ing periods to get into condition for
fight, but stays at home, does his train
ing there and eats the food his mother
cooks for him.
Because of his clean life he is never
out of condition, and is therefore never
bothered by the weight question as his
opponents are. Melody never weighs
more than 14S pounds, so that 1t is an
easy thing for him to train down to
142 pounds.
The champion is a natural fighter.
His style is much like that of Terry
McGovern when the Brooklyn Terror"
was. =. at his best. He has a terrific
punch, one that carries knockout pow
ers at all times.
This alone makes him a dangerous
opponent, but with it Melody combines
a great ability to take a hard beating.
Just when he seems to be all in he is
most dangerous.

FATHER OF SIX PUGILlSTS
DIES At CINCINNATI

Last week an old man died in Gin
cinnau who had the distinction Of be-
ing the father OF more professional
pusilists than any other man I'm the
United States.
His name was Isadore Bezenah,
father OF the six Bezenah brothers,
known far and wide as the Fighting
Family" Mr.. Bezenah was as years of
age at the time of his death, and up
until few weeks ago was hale and
hearty and worked hard for a living.
He did not take much inerest in the
achievements Of his sons. The Bezenah
brothers, just naturally dropped into
the fighting business, and that's the
only reason they can give for taking
up fighting for a business.
Although none of the boys have ever
held a championship, no one can say
that they ever faxed or quit when the
milling became too strenuous. They are
game to the core and ever willing to
do battle with any man of their re-
spective weights.
The first Of the Bezenah brothers to
appear in public was Louis, who met
death at the hands of Kid Dugan. Then
came Gene, Gus, Andy and Albert.
Gene, Andy and Gus are still actively
engaged I'm ring contests, while Albert
Is following another profession. The
latter is Jne most likely lOohlilB ldu vi
the bunch, but he got tired of boxing
early in his career. Gene Is a welter-
weight, Andy a 120-pounder and Gus
fights in the bantam class.
Gene, who conducts q gym in New
port, has two sons, Louis and Gene by
name, who are also boxers. For years
the Bezenahs lived in Covington, but
are now scattered about in the three
cities. Gene resides in Newport Andy
lives in Cincinnati and Gus owns a lit
tie farm in oakley.
Some years ago the Bezenah brothers
built their sister a house in Westwood,
doing all the work that was required to
put the dwelling together. All the boys
have learned trades and can make a
good living either in or out of the ring.

RAGING SEASON AT
OAKLAND WILL BE
EXTENDED SIX WEEKS
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-Presi-
dent Thomas Williams of the new Cali
fornia Jockey club announced today
that the season at Oakland will be ex-
tended six weeks longer than originally
scheduled.
The meet will run until June % in
stead of ending May II. The reasons
given are that the season last year
was curtailed by the disaster, affect
ing horsemen and the association, and
the great amount of bad weather this
season deprived owners of many horses
from starting them.
Instead of opening June Is the meet
ing at Seattle will start June 20.

Heine Krohn, Edward Nagle and Leo
Youngworth were arrested late last
night for the theft of an elephant from
the Shriners' tent at Fiesta park. All
three are said to be well known in po-
lice station, but to the surprise of the
the act of trying to secrete the animal,
the police regard the catch as one of
the best in the history of the depart

men. They will be arraigned for trial
this morning.
The Los Angeles Shriners' temple is
preparing to give circus April 4, 8 and

Gus tent at Fiesta park with other ami
mails. The disappearance of the trained
bear the night before caused much un-
rest in the Shriner camp, but in spite
of the vigilance of the watchmen about
the big tent, the three men were able to
escape with the beast without detec-
ton.
Even Steal Down the Street

stealing down Main street near Twelfth

as 1t was known that Youngworth, sus-
