BURNsIDERS TAKE JAUNT.

Thirty five young men, comprising
the Pioneer Athletic club of Burnside,
journeyed to White City Saturday af-
ternoon to take in the sights and en-
joy a little lunch at the White City
casino.
The young men were headed by their
captain, Thomas O'Commel, who in
sisted that his fellow members take in
every attraction. None of the mem
bers baked at going on the scenic
railway or other 'thrillers" until 1t
came to the coaster, only five young
men venturing on this attraction.
At various intervals when something
would strike the crowd as more than
pleasing they would let out with a few
rah rahs for this special attraction,
which created much amusement for the
other habitues of the city.

CANS TO FEATURE ROAD WORK
Champion VIII Delay His Boxing
Stunts for Two Weeks.

San Francisco, Cal, June IA large
crowd of Lightweight Champion Cans
friends and admirers went over to
Shannon's in San Rafael, today to see
Joe go through his gym stunts. They
failed to see him box, because Joe ex-
planned that he would cut out boxing
until two weeks before the fight as
there was nothing for him to learn
there was nothing in science which re-
manned for him to learn. He was on
the road in the morning and went
through a variety of gym work. AS
usual, Cans seems in the pink of con-
dition, and says he will easily dis
pose of Nelson, as ne weighs now only
139
Nelson is at the baths in Livermore
Hills. but will return next week. His
friends say the Dane will win this
time sure. as he has made up his mind
to hammer Cans at in fighting from
the tap of the gong, and as the referee
is not to separate the men. he figures
he can wear down Joe at this rough
work

trouncing most of the teams hereabouts
all season, but the fact is they got up
against the real thing yesterday. Both
pitchers were in fine fettle, each al

FLAG DAY rs CELEBRATED,

Washington, d. c., June 15.---
Thanks to the untiring efforts of the
American Flag Association and with
the cooperation of numerous other
patriotic bodies, todays celebration of
Flag Day concentrating the adop-
tion of the red, white and blue as the
national emblem, was more general
throughout the land then ever before.
Reports indicate that the idea has now
been adopted in nearly every State and
Territory and has been carried by
Americans to the islands beyond the
seas.
The American flag is 131 years old,
and though 1t has slightly altered, the
alteration represents only the growth
of the institution for which 1t stands.
The first flag was made by patriotic
ladies in Philadelphia. It was a small
affair but represented a heavy cost, be-
cause the bunting came from England
and just at that time things British
came high. This first flag was flown by
Paul Jones, the naval hero whose body
was discovered in it's obscure resting
place in France and returned to this
country.
BY error the initial flag had but
twelve stars but the man whom the
British dubbed "a pirate and a rebel"
proudly informed Congress that the
emblem at the peak of his warship, the
Ranger" was received with the most
marked courtesies by the French,
whose formal recognition of the new
flag constituted the French acknowi-
edgment of the American republic.

seconds over the course last night.
This is the best time madeb any crew
in an upstream attack on the record
in fifteen years.
Coach Kennedy of the Yale crew said
tonight that he saw no chance to ex-
pect more changes in any of the crews.
Coach Way of Harvard said that he
regarded the makeup of the varsity
eight and the freshmen eight as set
tied. but he is not so sure about the
varsity four.

SOMETHING GOING TO HAPPEN

New York, June 15.-Racing men who
are in a position to know said today
they expected developments within the
next ten days that would remove from
the present situation many tangles.
They said when the courts have passed
on various points in dispute as set
forth by the new betting law it would
be clearly shown that betting between
individuals can be carried on, provided
no record is made of the wagers.
The recording of wagers is the only
problem that appears difficult of solu
ton. If a layer or bettor can carry a
memorandum Of wager in his head,
racing men who have consulted eminent
legal authorities say the new law will
not apply to such cases.
