WHARF FINISHED
FOR YACHT CLUB
SOUTH COAST ORGANIZATION
MUCH benefited
OWNER OF MISCHIEF II PLANS
TO BUILD NEW BOAT
Yawl Being Constructed for Attorney
Gibson Is Progressing and Will
Be Launched Probably
in February

Members of the South Coast Yacht
club will be glad to learn that the cIup
wharf, built out from the locker house
at Terminal Island, is completed and a
safe and convenient landing thereby
provided for the boats of members.
For many months members have sut-
fered sore Inconvenience because OF
lack of a landing in the inner harbor
where they might land passengers or
tie up their skiffs. The new wharf
stands between Captain Perrys land
ing and the wharf of Joe Fellows boat
shop. 1t will be of inestimable con-
venience to the dory boat racers, who
have been in need of some place where
they could bring their boats alongside
to work on them.
1t will be of interest to all yachtsmen
on this coast to know that Walter Fol
som, former owner of the Mischief and
now owner of the speedy Mischief II,
is contemplating building another boat,
to be finer and speedier than any OF
his former yachts. Mr.. Folsom owns
the fastest boat of her class in the
South Coast Yacht club, and probably
the fastest on the coast. He has won
more trophies with his two Mischiefs
than any other yachtsman in the club.
The new boat which Mr.. Folsom is
planning will be sixty feet in length,
sioop rugged, and will have much the
veteran yachtsman of the South Coast
Yacht club is not dissatisfied with his
present racers, but wants a larger boat
which can be used on long voyages to
sea. If completed in time, he will
probably enter his new boat in the
next race to Honolulu.
Joe Fellows, the well known boat
builder at Terminal Island, was in the
city yesterday and was in consultation
with Mr. Folsom regarding plans for
the proposed new craft.
Work is rapidly progressing on the
new yawl being built for Attorney Glib
son at the Banning company shops on
Mormon island. She is to be thirty
nine feet long and will have lines some
what similar to the Minerva. Her
cabins will be especially well equipped
and arranged for accommodation on
long cruises. The new boat probably
will be launched in February.
Perhaps no member Of the yacht club
gets so much genuine pleasure out Of
his boats as does DR.. p. G. II. PAIL of
the Good Samaritan hospital, owner of
the yacht Nellie. DIR. PAIL. with a few
friends. is a regular visitor to San
Pedro Saturday evenings, when he goes
down to spend the night and be on
hand for a good days sport Sunday.
The Nellie is a commodious boat and
provides ample sleeping and living
room for the doctor and his friends.
DR.. PAIL has installed a new Campbell
marine engine in his skiff, and has
great sport speeding about the bay and
following the dory racers

"CL0SED SHOP" SELECTED
AS SUBJECT FOR DEBATE
Discuss Question with Long Beach.
Contest May Determine Cup
Ownership
Especial to The Herald. l

HOLLYWOOD, Dec 2S.-The question for
the big Hollywood-Long Beach debate has
been chosen as follows:
Resolved, that labor unions justified
in insisting, through the use Of all Lawful
means at their disposal on the closed
shop" Hollywood has chosen the negative
The two Hollywood debaters selected both
from the senior class, are Dorsey Stephens
and Clyde Potter.
In the try-out for the November debate
Clyde Potter came out third. which places
him first in this contest while Dorsey Steph-
ems was on the team last year. Hollywood
now stands at the head of the county league
having made q higher score in the late de
bate than any other high school, Ions
Beach, also a stronghold in this line, made
the second highest number of points.
A great deal Of interest is being aroused
over the coming debate because, although
Hollywood defeated Long Beach by a large
margin, the latter school protested and
gained an even score The winner of the
coming contest bids fair to attain the cup
since both schools made large scores and are
far ahead of the other, high schools in the
race.
