System" said business man once
and he made fortune. system,
said Physical Instructor Price Oh Ine

reply was consistent with the looks OIL
the speaker. Short, compact ana IoIce-

draw upon combined with one OF tne
finest equipped gymnasiuns In the
country, the young men of Los Angeles
will have no one to blame except tnem-
selves II they do not turn out chanpioll
representatives in every line OF sport
they tackle.
Excellent Judgment has been useo
bv tbe trustees of the institution In
their selection of the men who are to
manage the organization. PHYSICAL In
structor Price conducted The Herald
representative throughout the build
ing, pointing out the various rooms and
carefully explained the uses to which
they were put. The building resempled
a gigantic beehive everybody busy and
happy. including the drones. On one
floor, at the end of long hall, was
found a small gymnasium and in 1t
were about fifty boys of ages varying
from 13 to IT, They were being put
through a Swedish gymnastlc drlll, ana
the way they did 1t would have made
many of the members of the business
mems class open their eyes in astonish-
ment.
Assisting c. II. Price are three ath-
letes. each of whom has put in many
years of hard work at training for just
such a position and are we'll qualifed TO
be the athletic directors of the best
athletic institution In the best city in
the country. -
Another noticeable feature of the trip
through the beautiful building was the
absence of the so-called "long-hatrs"
that the stranger might expect to find
in the Y. M. c. A, all of which goes to
prove that the world is moving and
that the modern athlete Is convinced
that he can make a dash around 22-
lap track and end exhausted without
the belief that he will have to do
penance for overworking the body. But
the foregoing statement does not infer
that the religious part of the organiza-
tion is neglected, simply that 1t all
comes under the limelight of that motto
of the physical Instructors system
and everything in it's place.
Unlike many eastern Y. M. G. A. IN
structors, Physical Instructor Price is
arranging to turn out classes in boxing
wrestling and fencing. another fact
which proves that the little big man is
down to date. There will be athletic
tournaments arranged between the Y.
M. C. A. and the Los Angeles club ath-
letic sports, together with many carni-
walls and exhibitions that Will tend to
make the Y. NJ. G. A. one of the
greatest factors In the amateur sport
ing world of the country.

HANKS INSISTS THAT HIS
FATHER is STILL ALIVE
Gives No Trouble to Attendants, but
Reiterates His Story About AMI
mails Being Hyn&otized by
Neighbor.

Arthur M. Hanks, arrested Wednes-
day morning and confined at the coun-
ty hospital as an insane person, passed
the day quietly at the hospital and
gave none of the attendants any trou-
BILE.
He reiterated the statement made to
the police that his father was alive
and well and living In Rochester, MINI.
He persisted in the statement that q
real estate man living near him had
hypnotized all the rabbits. horses. cows
and chickens in the neighborhood, and
had inspired them to attack him so
that he had to defend himself with fire
arms.
Chief of Police Kern has written to
the Minnesota authorities for informa-
ton concerning him. and 1t Is not ex-
pected that an answer will be received
for several days.

NEGRO BISHOPS PROTEST
AGAINST PULLMAN COMPANY

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 17.--Four bish-
ops of the African Methodist Episcopal
church appeared before Special Agent
]. Edgar Smith of the interstate COM
merce commission here today in sup
port of allegations of discrimination
against the colored race on certain rail-
roads in the south with the request
all passengers.
The burden of the protest is that the
Pullman company will not admit ne
groes in their cars; the railroads force
negroes into separate coaches where
indiscriminate negroes who smoke,
drink and curse are allowed.
The railroads fled answers denying
practically all the charges, and al
legged that each southern state requires
separate cars for the races.

son, the Washington club crack box
artist, will be seen in the uniform of
the celery team. Last year the Santa
Ana team gave the other clubs In the
California Winter league series hard
fight and finished second In the race for
the league pennant. The Santa Anas
and the Belvideres of Los Angeles will
play at Santa Ana next Sunday. This
will be the second time these clubs have
met, the first game resulting in VIC
tory for the Los Angeles team by the
score of to 7. There will be only a.
few more miscellaneous games for the
Santa Ana club to play before the
opening of the California Winter league
season. Such fast clubs as the Maiers.
Santa Barbara, Edisons, Pasadena and
the Hoegees will be their rivals for the
pennant. 1t was thought at first that
the Chutes team would enter the new
league, but up to the present time moth
ing has been done along those lines.
There is a movement afoot to or
ganize another league in this city with
such clubs as the Tropico, Norwalk,
Harbor City and the BelVideres. 1t Is
proposed to make the entry fee SIS. half
of which will be used to purchase q
trophy. Any Of the managers OF the
above clubs willing to affiliate with a
league can call me up from i o'clock
any afternoon until IL o'clock at night
for further information.
Arthur Smith, who let Fresno down
with two hits Sunday morning, was
released by Manager Devereaux of the
Santa Cruz team. Smith at the pres
ent time Is with Fresno.
A certain manager of one of the semi
professional teams of this city has re-
ceived letter from Billy Fox, captain
of the Lincoln Western league team
applying for a position on a winter
league team. His batting average is
.2S9, fielding 1868. He is considered one
of the fastest players in the minor
leagues. The Sioux City Tribune says;
"Fox is showing speed that Is marvel
Gus and he's hitting, too. Fact is,
Foxy is pretty near good enough for
big league picking"

article of ball for youngsters. AL
though only organized three weeks,
they have won two games and lost the
third. New uniforms will be pur-
chased. which will be Of black and
white material and will be made of the
best materials that money will buy.
The lineup shows some of the fastest
juniors that ever played on a Southern
California diamond. Willie Lee, who
plays shortstop, is a good batter and
acts as captain of the club. He is well
liked by the other members. Allen, the
pitcher, Is another crack player and he
never fails to get one or two hits in
every game. Bingham, the left fielder,
is one of the fastest base runners on
the team and is called "the judge"
because he always butts in and settles
all disputes that arise upon the dia-
mond. Mertle, the center fielder, is
crack infelder and usually gathers In
all that comes his way. Mole, the little
first baseman, although the smallest
chap on the team, Is credited with be-
ing the heavy hitter of the club. In
five games played recently he has av-
eraged three hits to the game. Cum
ningham, the keystone sacker, has the
rep of being a hard hitter and is
called "the home-run kid" because he
has the habit of sending the ball over
the right field fence. Scott, right field
er, keeps his head at all stages of the
game. AS nlanG ger there is none Det-
ter, and he can get his fellow players
to do anything for him with the salve
that he throws into them while on the
diamond. White, the catcher, is one
of the best backstops in this neck of
the woods. Henderson, the third base
man, cannot be praised too much for
his fine work at that station, and in
the course of a few more months will
develop into classy infielder.
Like a thunderbolt from a cloudless
sky came the news last night from the
management of the Fresno State league
baseball club that Manager Charles A.
Baum had handed a release to Roscoe
Miller, George "Bulr' Croll and Wal
lace Hollingsworth. In their places
Arthur Smith, Arthur Schimpff and an
eastern player named Fox have been
signed. AS soon as the announcement
was made public by Baum, late in the
evening, the news spread like wild
fire, and within an hour every fan who
! happened to be on the streets of the
city was aware that three of the most
popular players on the team were free
to do as they pleased, their services
being no longer required by the direct
ors of the club.-Fresno Republican.

SCHOOLS GO BACK
TEN YEARS AS RESULT
Interesting Statement Made Today by Noted Educator Con-
cermng Kindergarten Work in
the City Schools

pouring a great amount of informa-
ton into their minds undigested and
which has mot much meaning to
them. All laboratory work. the use
of tools and everything pertaining to
modern methods of study and infor-
nation, is now based upon direction
and suggestion through models and
in teaching children what to do with
their hands in conjunction with the
effort of their minds.
"I can sweepingly say that all
modern educators of note subscribe
most heartily to the work of the kin
dergarten department. This is
strong statement, l know, but 1 do
not fear contradiction whatever and
am willing to stand by the statement.
In every city of the size of Grand
Junction, the schools have kin
dergarten department. In the mid
die west and the east they are, of
course, more numerous than they are
in the far west and in this region;
but Grand Junction simply showed
most progressive ideas when it es-
tablished the kindergarten work in
the city schools. To my understand
ing the city cannot afford under any
circumstances to abandon the great
work. More impression is made up
on the child between the ages of
and 6 through the kindergarten work
than in any other manner, and it has
been so proven by the best educators
of America, and I stand by that state
ment unqualifiedly, 1t matters not
who enters into contention against
that assertion"
The Sentinel regrets that it could
not have had a more extended inter-
VII x,it hrrf ha

that he is most irrevocably commit

Prof Frederick Dick of Denver
formerly state superintendent of
public instruction of the state of Col

Prof. Dick at the present time and
for a number of years past has oc-
cupied the position of president of
the Denver Normal School. one of
the best known training schools for
teach in the state and the west.
He has been occupying this most i'm
por.ant position since 1893, and at
his institution two-thirds of the
trained kindergarten teachers of the
state have been graduated.
When it was ascertained that Prof.
Dick was in the city The Sentinel
sought an interview with the well
known instructor and had hard
time catching him, but finally caught
up with him. as his day has been
occupied in visiting some of the city
schools.
When asked if he would accord
The Sentinel an interview on the
subject of the value of the kinder
garten department to the public
school, he readily assented. The
Sentinel is extremely sorry that it
cannot give the interview in more
detail, as it was late this afternoon
before Prof. Dick was seen.
The first question asked him was
whether he thought that the Grand
Junction schools were taking step
backward in the decision of the
board of school control to abandon
the kindergarten department. His
answer was: 81 most certainly do,
and it is a step backward of not less
than ten years"
Continuing Prof. Dick said in part:
"All the modern ideas of teaching
