WATER POLO LEAGUE
TO BE REORGANIZED

Leslie Henry yesterday received
visit from a representative of a new
water polo team which has been formed
at Long Beach, who requested that the
Long Beach team be allowed to enter
the present water polo league. AL
though nothing was definitely decided
the representative was given to under
stand that the Los Beach team would
be admitted to the league. Steps were
taken recently to annex the Avalon
team to the league. but 1t was not fol-
lowed up because the island team plays
an altogether different game than the
local teams do or could. Instead OF the
regulation ball they use large size
basket ball. Their rules also are diff
ferent and they shoot the ball through
goal similar to that used in foot
ball. After considering these things
Les Henry decided to postpone all
match water polo games until Septem-
Der l, when a complete schedule VIII
be arranged.
1t is expected that the new swimming
tank now in course of construction at
the new Y. M. G. A. building will have
been completed by September 1 and
that a water polo team will be formed
at the Y. M. c. A. This would make
a six-tearn league, the other five TENS
being the Long Beach, Los Angeles
Athletic club, Venice, Bimini and Re-
dondo water polo teams.
Water polo, as 1t will be played dur
ing the coming season, will be much
different game than ever has been wit
messed In Southern California, princi-
pally in the, fact that it will be played
correctly and according to the national
rules now in vogue throughout the east.
Great credit is due the organizers Of
the present league, who, with only
parliamentary knowledge of the game,
successfully established a sport that
bids fair to become one of the most
popularity attended games of Southern
california

BOXING, ROWING
HUNTING AND FISHING

After one of the most delightful
hunting trips of the season E. L.
Mitchell, Guy Lovelace, Al Loyelace
and A. Wilson yesterday returned 10
Los Angeles from the Saw Tooth
range of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains. The party left this city July
13 and went to the Granite basin and
from there crossed to the middle fork
of the Kings river. Although the deer
were scarce and the party brought
back the only two they sighted, they
did not lack sport and spent many
pleasant hour at trout fishing and dove
hunting. The scarcity of deer was
explained by the fact that the country
was being hunted for bear by another
Nimrod who had with him four bear
dogs which scared the deer away. one
of the deer was a four-prong and the
other a three-prong. The three
pronged deer far outweighed the four
pronged, although the latter was at
least a year older.
