ELK TRAIN SUNDAY.
(From Fridays Daily.)


Sunday afternoon as an extra sec
ton FOR No. s, southbound, the
northwest special train Of Elks will
pass through Amarillo, according to
advices received at the local office.
Denver and a number of other Colo
RADIO lodges OF Elks will be repre-
scented on this train and probably a
number of other lodges from ad-
joining states will have places on the
train. 1t is possible that more than
one train will run through as spe-
clal Elk trains but the Pacific coast
and far northwest delegations will
probably take other routes through
to Dallas.
Elks from the lodge here and from
Childress and Wichita Falls will go
down on No. s Saturday evening to
reach Dallas Sunday. The members
from here will not go in uniform as
II had at first been intended but the
general convention uniform Of white
flannel trousers, blue serge coats
and straw hats VIII probably be worn
by the Panhandle delegates to the
great ingathering Of Elks. All re-
ports received here point to a record
breaking attendance and to phenom-
email entertainment on the part OF
Dallas and the neighboring cities
and towns which will assist.

Attempting to board a passenger
train this morning at Tangier Okla,
p. NJ. Humphrey of this city, lost
his footing, rolled under the train

PRESENTED BANNER
GRAvESTONE OCCUPIES PLACE
OF HONOR
Professor of Polytechnic High Offers
Suggestion Which Is Eagerly
Grasped by Students
of School

In an "aud call'' yesterday morning
at Polytechnic high school the baseball
banner representing the county league
championship was presented the VIC
torious bunch Of mechanics amid the
loudest demonstrations of enthusiasm
which could be possibly produced from
the throats of two thousand healthy
young baseball supporters.
Professor Francis presented the ban
ner and made a short talk. In which
he praised the conduct of the team
during the year and the royal sup
port given by the student body.
The coveted stone with the score of
the last game painted on 1t, which has
been the cause of much strife between
Los Angeles high and Poly, occupied
the position of honor on a box in the
center of the stage by the side of the
new banner.
After the banner that stone Is prob
ably the most priced remembrance of
Poly's great victory over Los Angeles
high.
Professor Francis made the sugges-
ton to the school that the stone should
be given to the tender care of the Gus
todian committee and that the place
of its hiding shall be a mysterious
secret until the next victory Is won
from Los Angeles high, providing that
victory is won within the next year,
when 1t shall be brought out as
glorious memento of the championship
series of '0S.
The suggestion was unanimously car
ried by the students, and for year
at least the stone will be the cause of
no more would-be flag rushes.
The three games played between Poly
and Los Angeles this season have
marked peculiar era in baseball his
tory. Both teams are In the first class
division and the fast bunch of me-
chanics have won all three games by
the close scores of to 2, 1 to and
1 to 0. The Los Angeles lads gave them
hard run for their money In each
contest.
The Polytechnic team is making ef-
forts to arrange a game for the cham
pionship Of Southern California with
Pomona. II the arrangements are sat
isfactory to Pomona the game will
probably be at Chutes park some time
within the next two weeks.

THIRTlETH STREETS WIN
GRAMMAR SCHOOL TROPHY
Elementary Departments Crown Base
ball Team as Champion of All
City Mines by Defeat of
Fourteenth Streets

Thirtieth street school won the cham
pionship Of the city schools and the
cup by defeating Fourteenth street in
one of the fastest games ever witnessed
in the Grammar School league yester-
day afternoon. Score, 2 to 1.
Thirtieth opened up hard and had a
run to their credit before the close of
the first inning. Then Fourteenth got
busy and managed to hold their op-
moments until the fourth, when Miller,
Thirtieth catcher, batted an easy one
to right field which the fielder muffed,
enabling Miller to be we'll on his way
to third before the ball could be re-
covered. A wild throw to the third
station and Miller loped in, scoging a
home run on errors. When Foster,
Thirtieth pitcher, came up to bat in
the next inning he was struck hard
blow on the head by wild pitch, but
managed to reach first and steal Sec
ond. The Whack showed itself in the
next inning, however, when he became
shakey in his pitching and allowed a
hard swat which brought in a Four
teenth street man, scoring one tally.
In the eighth Miller shone again, this
time with a three-bagger, but he was
unable to score.
The cup was presented to Thirtieth
Immediately upon the close of the
game.
The twirling honors were about even,
Fourteenth's pitcher tanning fiye and
walking two, and Thirtieth's pitcher
tanning six and walking six. Clyde
Miller, Thirtieth's catcher, was the star
of the game, and has shown himself to
be one of the best players In the
league.

Game little Phil Brock. the brave
hearted Cleveland fighter who took a
severe beating at the hands Of Freddie
Welsh on Decoration day, is not dis
heartened. and almost the first words
he said after he had retired to his
dressing room that afternoon give a
plain indication of his feeling about this
battle.

manager, McRae, II want you to get

While some fans may disagree with
tion that the little fellow has made
hit by his game spirit of losing. His
injured shoulder, which put. his left
hand to the bad early in the fight, was
an excuse that really was allowable
beyond ordinary after-the-fight reason
ing of the beaten fighter. Phil found
himself unable to use his most effective
punches, a fact that was noticed by
several OF those at the ringside.
Brock Is anxious to meet either Welsh
or Unholz. AS Freddie now has signed
to meet Mcfarland, there is no chance
of these two getting together again at
present, but the fight between Brock
and the Boer should be good one.
Brooks manager. McRae, offers to
meet Unholz at the latter's own terms,
financially. at Unholz' own weights, dis
tance, time and place. He is so conf
dent that he can beat the Dutch boy
that he will concede every possible
point of dispute. This match should be
one of real interest, and were 1t not
that the Boer has collected unto him
self a large degree of unpopularity by
his unwise statements since he came to
Los Angeles, the fight probably would
be arranged. Brock has had an offer
to go to Denver and meet Fighting Dick
Hyland, which he may accept, should
the terms prove satisfactory.

preparation for their ten-round contest

evening.
johnson went on the road at San
Pedro early yesterday morning and
then took q swim in the ocean. In the
afternoon he took on two of the beach
boys, as Jim Cameron, with whom he
had been boxing, had hurt his hands
in trying to hit Johnson, and the negro
retired from the position of sparring
partner to the Russian. being content
to come to Los Angeles and take up less
strenuous training for his bout with
Holbrook.
Johnson seemed even more speedy
than on previous days and the boxers
of San Pedro were scarcely able 10
touch him, although they suffered from
the terrific onslaught of the Russian.
Johnson is rapidly rounding into
shape and will be in the best form OF
his career when he faces Van Doozer In
the ring.

Van Doozer went seven fast rounds
with Jack Twin Sullivan and two other
aspirants He showed the result OF the
hard work of the two previous days
and his wind was much improved.
This feature of his training was the
only thing which bothered the instruct
or, and now he can go over the route
he is satisfied with himself although
he will keep up his strenuous training
until the day of the battle.
Sunday afternoon, beginning at
O'Clock, Van Doozer will appear at Nc
Carey's pavilion and go through his
training stunts. including three rounds
with Jack Twin. He will repeat this
performance Monday, and at both ex-
hibitions the public is invited.
Holbrook is getting into condition at
Santa Anita and will be ready to meet
Cameron in the ten-round preliminary
of the Johnson-Van Doozer contest.
Both of the negroes tipped the beam at
1870 pounds Friday afternoon, so there
will be little to choose between them as
regards the weight behind their blows.
