Indoor Athletic Meet Draws
Great Crowd of Patrons of
Amateur Sport
By Herbert Hauser

Fifteen hundred or more followers of
track and field athletics braved last
nights rainstorm to attend the indoor
meet given by the Cornell Athletic club
for the benefit of its swimming tank
fund. San Francisco is now being
swept by wave of amateur athletic
enthusiasm that will make next year
the banner year of athletics in this
state. Each succeeding meet brings out
more enthusiasm both from spectators
as well as competitors and the success
of last nights meet will mean that
there will be more to follow
Cecil Caldwell of the Cogswell school
proved to be the star of the meet by
winning three first places, namely. in
the 10 220 and 44O yard races in fine
style, while Soldier King took a prom
inent part in the point winning by
carrying off both the open mile and
four mile races in good time
the rs yards in his preliminary heat in
71a seconds. which is tenth OF a
second faster than the worlds amateur
record of Rice, the Georgetown sprinter.
Cogswell school made the greatest
number of points. scoring 80 to the
with IA and the Irish Americans fourth
with 8 to their credit. The entry list
was a large one, and with the excep-
tion of the four mile race which King
won with ease, the competition was
exceedingly close.
The Lick school basket ball Ave de-
feated Lowell 16 to a. The score at
the end of the first half was ali. and
at the beginning of the second Lowell
took the lead on fouls by Lick, but the
Tigers rallied in the latter part and
succeeded in winning out.

ORDER EASTERN STAR

Great surprise, both within and with
out Masonic circles, has been created
by the revoking of the charter of Pa
cific chapter of the Eastern Star, for
a temporary time at least.
Pacific chapter was the Oldest of the
order in Los Angeles, and it is said
that there have been more or less dis
turbances within the chapter itself and
with other chapters of the order. The
affair eliminated in the arrest of the
charter by Worthy Grand Patron
Cartwright just before the regular
meeting Saturday night a week ago.
The members have received notification
of the revoking of the chapter
This is said to be the first time that
a charter has been revoked in Southern
California, and great surprise has been
manifested.
Many of the members contend that
the matter will be put before the grand
chapter, to meet October 10 in San
Francisco, when it is confidently ex-
pected that the charter will be restored.
In the meantime very little is being
said outside of Masonic circles in

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS

Kenton A. Miller, colonel of the Third
regiment, u. r. K. of p, and member
of Marathon-Los Angeles lodge, was
elected president of Republican club
organized at Ocean Park last week.
Col. MilleH. is one of the bratny attor-
news of Los Angeles and Is brilliant
speaker. fH
Deputy District Attorney q. Ray
Horton, prelate of Marathon-Los An
geles lodge, has returned from Vaca-
ton, spent at Catalina island.
Since the consolidation of Marathon
and Los Angeles lodges, both quite
similar in point of membership, a few
months ago great progress has been
made. and all the members agree that
the combination was a good move Tor
the advancement of Pythianism. The
membership has steadily increased and
limitations have occurred at nearly
every meeting night for months. Three
nights in each month are devoted to
this work and the degree teams are
kept busy enough to retain the high
standard of proficiency which has been
reached in this lodge.
Marathon-Los Angeles lodge has re-
ceived an invitation to accept the hos
pitality of the Elks for an evening at
the harvest festival to be given by the
latter organization at Shrine auditorium
the first week in November.
1t is expected the receipts from the
festival will swell the entertainment
fund about $4,000, to which will be
added $50 900 more to be used in prop
erly taking care of the big herd that
will crowd Los Angeles at the Elks
convention in July, 1909.
