Regardless of the exceedingly hot
weather the noon class at the gym
nasium yesterday was the largest that
has been seen on the floor since the
beginning of the summer months. Al
Treloar took advantage of the oppor-
tunitv and put the class through an
unusually stiff drill Evidently he
wanted to help them make up for the
exercise they have lost recently in nom
attendance. In addition to Richard
Retzer there were Clark, Mckee, Charles
Brownstein, Schroeder, Carol van
Court, son of the kid" i. S. Nord-
linger, Ferris, Stewart, Seissler, Maui
rer, Cooper, Walker and Townsend.
Isaacs had his name signed to the
register but, just to put the boys
straight, it will be no harm to say that
he was not in the class. He looked
into the gymnasium and saw the stiff
exercises the boys were being put
through, so he waited till the class was
dismissed and then went up and did a
few stunts with a handball, huh.
1t is rumored that the handball game
which was to be played August be-
tween Parker and Holbrook has been
called off. Parker has been training
luI lllt SdIntt Dul llS AiciS llpl
seen Holbrook or his manager, Benny
Brain, and concludes that the game
must be off. While speaking of Parker
1t is safe to relate an incident recently
vouched for by George Adair, now that
George has gone. George said that a
few years ago he and Parker took a
trip to Europe and about three days
out storm arose and 1t looked as
though the ship would sink, He saiG
ParkerIushed into the cabin and held
out his watch, which was valued at
5000, and tried to sell it to George for
$3.50.
AS predicted about Walla Wheeler
and the peace of the dormitory, there
was something doing last night. But,
the joke was on Walla this time. He
must have had a dream, for about IL
o'clock he rushed down to the office,
accosted Jack Nest and said: Say,
Jack. there are a lot of Holsters up
stairs who are trying" Jack inter
rupted him here by saying: Eyes, 1
have known that for some time. Go
Guernsey would let me Sleep said
Walla.
Mayor Burke of Norwalk was look
ing for Lou Guernsey yesterday regard
ing that return match with Norwalk.
Guernsey made statement some time
ago to the effect that the club team
could win easily from Norwalk and he
offered to back his assertion with some
thing more tangible. Make good, Lou.
The condition of Duke Avis, who is
at the emergency general hospital, has
not improved during the past twenty
four hours.
Walla Wheeler has a COW which he
desires to sell. Anyone desiring a nice.
housebroken COW should see Walla and
cinch the bargain.
Sam Coulter will box few rounds
Sunday with Packy Mcfarland
Evidently Billy Henderson's attempt
to defeat Witt at handball is as sue
cessful as was Mayor Burke's fight
for bad roads at Norwalk. Witt won
two out of three games from Billy
yesterday morning.
1t is said that George Damron took
walk through Westlake park the
other day and, being somewhat tired,
sat down on one of the benches and
went to sleep. He was awakened later
by a Waterman who was shaking him,
and who said to George, Come, my
boy, we don't allow sleeping here"
isn't this Westlake park?" asked
George, somewhat dazed.
YES"
well, I'm Mr. Westlake," said
George, assuming sudden dignity.
The handball game to be played this
afternoon between Lou Guernsey and
Ray Dunnigan promises to be one of
the most exciting contests of the sea-
son. Both boys have beaten each other
and rank among the best players in
Southern California. Although Guern-
sew will have the advantage in reach,
Ray is much faster and is considered
a slight favorite. The prestige of both
players is enough to guarantee fast
and Interesting game throughout.
Those desiring a position in the gallery
will have to be on deck early. There
will be a few preliminary games before
the main event is pulled off,
This makes the second time, Schepps,
that you have been informed that the
baseball team will not play Sunday, as
Lou mas arranged to escort the team
to church.
The announcement made through
The Herald yesterday Of the intended
record row to Catalina in single scull
by Capt. Isaacs, already has caused
much favorable comment among the
members and the event promises to
bring forth many competitors.
Cliff Reuman put in some more good
work on the rowing machine yester-
day and seems to be showing up well.
