GREAT ATHLETIC
EVENTS PLANNED
TOURNAMENTS AND MEETS
FOR ELKS' MEET
Movement Begun to Hold Track, Field
Boxing, Wrestling, Swimming and
Other Amateur Championship
Contests Here

Slowly but steadily Los Angeles is
forging to the front as regads the
sporting center OF the west, and be-
hind the movement is combined the
energies of all the sportsmen OF tne
city. At the head of the movement Is
the Los Angeles Athletic club, which
organization, through its boxing IN
structor, Dewitt c. Van Court, re-
Gently applied to the registration COM
mittee of the Pacific Athletic associa-
tion, which has it's headquarters In san
Francisco, for permission to hold the
annual track, field, wrestling ana poA-
ing championships of the west IN Los
Angeles next July, during the Elks
reunion. which will be held in this city.
The formal application was made
through the Southern California repre-
sentative, George Braden of Occidental
college. The latest news from the
north regarding the application is faV-
orable. 1t hardly is probable that the
Pacific Athletic association could lose
cut on the proposition from financial
standpoint, as Los Angeles will be en-
tertaining the biggest crowd of pecple
in its history, who would prlng with
them their best athletes.
In addition to the above program OF
sports, the Southern California SWIM
ming association, through its secretary
Leslie Henry, has applied for and no
doubt will receive, permission to hold
the Pacific coast swimming champion
ships in Los Angeles during the re-
union. Going one step further, the en-
ergetic secretary has invaded the ter
ritory of the Pacific Northwest Anna
teur Athletic association, which in
cludes a branch association In Van
couver, B. c., Seattle, Portland, Spo-
kane and many others throughout lda-
no, and has received the sanction OF
that association to hold the annual
championships in Los Angeles. NO one
realizes better than Les Henry that ne
has bitten off a big chunk and that the
chewing will be consistently tough.
Nevertheless, the Southern California
Swimming association has unlimited
confidence in his ability, and judging
from past swimming tournaments with
which the young secretary has been
connected, their confidence is not mis-
placed.
Although 1t is probable that many, If
not all, of the local colleges will be
represented in one or more of the
events at the carnival Of sports, it gem
orally is conceded among the knowing
ones that the Los Angeles Athletic club
will annex most of the honors. Here
tofoFe, this organization has held back
in this line of athletics, but with the
new blood which has been injected into
the club within the year and with one
of the best athletic instructors in the
country. as well as the recognized box
ing instructor of the west, which ele-
ment viii be backed financially by the
officials of the club, it is not vain for
the members of the club to expect that
California will be represented in the
next Olympic games by a few, at least,
athletes OF the Los Angeles Athletic
club.

The difference between Taft and
Bryan is indicated by their respect
i've tastes in sports. Taft glories in
golf, an Importation from Europe,
where it is especially affected by the
royalty and nobility. Bryan prefers
baseball, which in origin, history and
character is the most thoroughly Amer
lean of all popular games. In the
late election Bryan received major
ity of the votes of native Americans.
1t was the foreign vote that elected
Taft.

PISTOL ToTiNe.

The Bryan Eagle calls for the en-
forcement of the law against pistol
toting and maintains that there is
enough law on the subject If it is put
to work. That is trouble. The peo-
pie OF Texas pay altogether too little
attention TO the strict enforcement of
the law and o.t,iles the man with the
gun who has committed murder gets
less punishment than the negro who is
merely discovered with a gun in his
pocket.
That man should start out with the
full intention of committing murder
and get only nominal punishment for
manslaughter because he did not kill
the man who was his intended vic
TIM but took the life of another in
sted, is making farce of the laws
against gun toting and man killing

the colored schools. During my first
visits | found some Of the schools
poorly attended. but for the past two
months the attendance has been good.
and in most cases have found the
teachers and pupils working with zeal
and eagerness. In my visits to the
schools. besides advising with the
teachers and offering suggestions.
have endeavored to impress upon the
pupils the importance of regular at
tendance and intensity of study II
is so easy for children to waste much
valuable time in school and get only
a faint idea of what they pass over
in their books by forming careless hab-
its of study. | have also used every
opportunity of encouraging the people
in the Improvement of their school
houses and equipments. am very
much gratified by the interest mani
tested by the trustees, patrons and
teachers along this line.

united in giving school entertainments
and raised funds with which they have
bought school supplies and made
some needed improvements on their
school buildings.
The people of Edge, in addition TO
rebuilding their schoolhouse by
means of a local tax. have raised
funds through school entertainments
and contributions with which they
have seated their schoolhouse with

The Wellborn people, also, have TAX
en- advantage of local taxation and
made their school house comfortable
for the winter. predict that before

building will adorn the town of Well

deserve much credit for their enter
prise and energy in raising funds with
which they will soon place an order
for patent desks for their school.
The Reliance community, under the
leadership OF their teachers, Miss Eva
Mcdonald and Miss Lightsey, have
started move for the Improvement
of their school house. Let the good
work continue there until you have ac-
complished your desire.
The trustees, teachers and patrons
of Bethel school have not slackened in
their efforts to make theirs the best
school in BraZos county. In addition
TO substantial improvements on their
school building. the adding of third
