ATHLETES GETTING
BUSY AT POMONA
Students Training for the Various
Teams-coIiege VIII Be Repre-
scented by the Best Baseball
Team in Five Years

CLAREMONT, Nov. 29.-The pass
ing of football has given great impetus
to other branches of athletics here and
the prospects are bright for all
branches of sport.
The first sport will be basketball,
for which no college team has yet been
chosen. In addition to most of last
years men, notably Lorbeer, Neuls,
Gore and Parker, there are many
promising men among the newcomers.
Glass games, which will be really
in the nature Of tryouts. will be run off
this week. An intercollegiate schedule
of games is now under consideration.
Pomona will have the best baseball
team of five years when the balltossers
get out AS in basketball, the only man
missing from last years aggregation
is Metcalf, who now is at Boston
Tech. But while many will miss
Met" there is fortunately plenty of
material from which to fill his posi-
ton.
Capt. Mahoney will try an innova-
tion for the varsity this year in re-
Versible battery. Galley will soon work
up to his old form in pitching and with
Craig in as catcher will do much for
the white and blue. But Craig also
will train as pitcher and the two by
alternating will obviate the necessity
of trusting all the seasons pitching to
one man. Galley's wonderful record of
last year, when he pitched from the
beginning of the season to the close,
was a great strain on his arm, partic-
ularly as part of the time he was en-
gagged in the games which won him
the local tennis championship.
Vincent Shut, who played through
out the season as left half on the var
sity football team, also will try out for
catcher, and in any case will be used
in the field. Other promising men have
as yet not played enough for those In
charge to form any idea of their real
playing ability.
The loss of Himrod '0S in track
work will be relieved somewhat by the
acquisition of Carver of Los Angeles
high. Trainer Stanton, however, has
invented a dragnet which will discover
any latent long distance ability in the
school. A special class in long dis
lance running is now in operation.
Lured partly by being excused from
class work in gymnasium many en-
bryonic men of promise have signed
up. A cross country run of over two
miles is held twice and three times
a week. The men viii have to COM
pete in three cross country races, for
places in which due credit will be
given.

OF the park so that it would be in the
sunshine, and permit of a good photo
graph being made of it. Soon after
Derkum started to ride, the big gas
bag. was released and rapidly assembled.
Turning back toward Chutes park,
Knabenshue made what appeared to
be rapid time on the return trip.
Derkum, instead of riding for the
hundred-mile record, evidently got
cold feet and rode a ten-mile exhibition
in the slow time of 10:07. AS BlayloeR
had turned the oval ten times in $40,
It made Derkum's feeble attempt look
foolish.
In attempting to recompense the
crowd he did a few didoes by riding
at a two-minute clip around the track
with his feet over the handle bars and
sitting sideways on the saddle, but 1t
failed to enthuse the crowd very much.
as he had promised to ride 100 miles
in 100 minutes.
The excuse was given that the seven
horsepower Thor was not working
quite right, but as 1t had been turn
ing the track in 81 and So the crowd
seemed to be disappointed because he
did not keep his word.
His riding did not show the class it
I used to and the remark was frequently
heard that he had developed a yellow
streak and was only after the gate
receipts, which were large.
The management of the meet de-
volved largely upon Ben Fay, who did
the announcing, scared small boys Off
the track, called the riders out, saw
that the judges were kept informed,
looked after the timers and in the
meantime did a dozen other things.
The crowd was we'll taken care of and
the meet conducted with great credit,
all of which Is due to Fay, who had
to stand the brunt of the whole thing.
With an able assistant he would have
been able to have pulled off the best
conducted race meet that has ever
been held in Los Angeles, and the fans
will be ready to believe him when he
promises to pull off a race meet where
records will go down before the speedy
riders.
He will doubtless confine his efforts
after this to amateurs or other pro-
| fessionals who have more regard for
their promises to the public than was
displayed by Derkum yesterday after
noon.
