NAVY REMNANTS WILL
MINGLE WITH FLAGS
DECORATIONS FLEET WEEK TO
BE PROFUSE
Alexandria Decorations VIII Find
Apex at "Fighting Bob's" Suite
at Hotel-Thousands of
Lanterns and Flags

With flags flying, naval pennants
huttering from every wall and lanterns
forming canopy over the streets. Los
Angeles will be more profusely and
artistically decorated during the visit
of the fleet than at any other time.
This Is the opinion of William M.
Humphreys, chairman of the decorat-
ing committee. who has been working
for six weeks almost constantly In per-
fecting the preliminaries.
The scheme of street decoration calls
for the use of $500 Japanese lanterns
strung in festoons across the trolley
support wires on Main, Spring and
Broadway between Temple and Eighth
streets, and on Hill from Third to Sew
enth sire is. These lanterns are red
and will furnish basic coloring for the
other decorations, which will be in
abundance on the buildings facing on
those streets. At night the lanterns
will be lighted. each containing an
eight-candle power electric lamp. Above
the festoons of lanterns 144 gigantic
flags will be hung, the largest ones at
the street intersections.
At the city hall the large electric nag
which was a feature Of the Shriners'
convocation will be rebuilt and blaze in
its electric brilliancy every night OF
the week. This was the memorable
niece of decoration during the Shriners'
festivities, and its repetition was unan-
imouslv desired by the fleet committee.
While the public decorations and IL
Elimination are confined to the three
things named, the profuseness of ev-
erything will make a striking scene.

VAN COURT READY TO
ENTERTAIN SLUGGERS
Big carpival viii Be Held at Chutes
Park Each Morning During
Fleet Week-For ANA
teurs Only

Old Man Van Court will collect his
Youngsters this afternoon and have
them looked over by the physicians to
see II they are fit subjects for the big
fleet week carnival of boxing which will
be one of the features of the festivities
when the sailors come sailing home
or to Los Angeles, anyhow. Tomorrow
the big tryouts will be held, and van
expects to get enough material out OF
the sixty amateurs now in his hands to
make up eight classes to compete with
the classiest of sluggers.
The big show itself, which will con-
sumo about four days, will be held in
the Chutes ball park. regular ring
is being constructed and will be in full
view of the grandstand, so the tars not
in the competition can watch their
brothers at close range and root them
to victory.
In order not to interfere with the
daily games of baseball the competi-
lions will be held in the morning, and
the last mill each day will stop at noon.
This will permit of ample time to re-
move the arena and leave everything
clear for the diamond artists in their
struggle for the PACING Coast league
pennant.
Eight classes have been arranged and
are made up according to the amateur
rules. The divisions run to los, Ms, 125,
1876, 145, 1853 and 1853 pounds, with the
heavyweight division unlimited to any,
thing but elephants. Russian lions are
not barred.
Van Courts arrangements for the
big carnival are perfect, and the vet
eran instructor is using the experience
he gained in similar affairs to good
purpose. In addition to the medical
examination this afternoon he will hold
few informal tryouts. and expects to
get some clever and Industrious mixers
for the different divisions.
Three-round goes will hold sway
throughout the tournament, except in
the finals and where the contestants
are so evenly matched that the judges
cannot arrive at a decision in so short
space of time. According to the
amateur rules, no draws can be an
nounced, so extra rounds must be
fought where no decision is reached.
The finals call but for two periods of
fighting, unless the same condition In
terposes.
