morrow Chairman w. w. Trltt Will can
a meeting of the athletic committee at
the Thirtieth street school for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the coming

taken up by the Los Angeles Y. M. Z:
A.. and DR.. Moore, superintendent OIL

the first games, was so pleased with
the game that he ordered it placed on
the regular grammar school athletic

AS predicted in The Herald few
weeks ago, Rugby will be the only foot
ball game this year in the grammar
school athletics until Thanksgiving
day. Soccer then will be played until
Christmas. The Rugby team at the
Thirtieth street school will be just as
complete as in former years, as most OF
the old team members-Miller, George
Foster and Harry Wessle, who played
at three-ouarter last season-are back.
Chairman Tritt called upon DR..
Moore yesterday for the purpose of as
pertaining if the board of education

won by the Thirtieth street club last
season from the Fourteenth street
school team.

Early in the afternoon Miss Florence
Sutton, Pacific states, champion in
ladies' singles, tried conclusions with
her world famed sister May. She was
defeated, 6-1, 6-3.
In the mems singles the struggle was
keen all through the first four sets.
Long was challenged to Maurice Nc
Laughlin, champion of the past year.
1t took the full five sets, consisting of
sixty-nine games, to decide the event,
which became largely a test of physical
endurance, and Long, being some three
years McLaughlin's senior, won out.
Although in the fourth set Mclaughlin
was within one point of taking the
match, the end of the fifth set found
Long with thirty-seven games to his
credit, against only thirty-one by the
ex-champion. Phenomenal tennis was
played by both men, each finding 1t
difficult to handle the terrific service
of the other, for even the second ball
came in at a hot pace.

Persistent reports from the north are
to the effect that Curtis Bernard in

when the team returns home from this
northern trip, and that he only Is stay,
ing with the team now until Ivan
Howard, the crack second baseman of
the Cedar Rapids team, joins the Angel
band in San Francisco, which he is
expected to do within the next day or
two. Local fans do not take much
stock in the story, believing that Ber-
nard merely intends quitting for the
remainder of thef season that he may
get back into school at the beginning
of the fall term.
1t is fortunate for the team, how
ever, that Howard is to join 1t at once.
He is credited with being the star
keystone sacker of the Three-Eye
league and not only is a good fielder,
but is a dependable hitter. If he
proves UP to expectations he Will be

not otherwise. If he makes good Ber-

Berry bought the contracts of the
Cedar Rapids club upon the services
of Howard and Simon, the latter being
the premier backstop of the league,
but the Boston Nationals drafted
Simon and he may not join the team.
His case will go before the national
baseball commission, however. Berry
contends that he bought the release
of Simon previous to August 20. the
required ten days previous to the open

the deal was made in good faith and

prove this, as, he assuredly can, the
