Frank Garbutt passed yesterday at
San Pedro experimenting the repairs
which are being made on the pride OF
his heart, the Shdbaldnir.
Many inhabitants of Playa del Rey
are in state of excitement over the
proposed renewal of rowing in the Ia
COON and they promise to cooperate
with the officials u the Los Angeles
Athletic club in every way.
Billy Henderson and Cops copied
the first game of handball yesterday in
a series of doubles which is being
played between Jack Nest and Chaun-
cey Mohannah and the two first named.
The score of this game was II to ID.
Chauncey and Jack came back strong
in the second game and won by the
score of II to q. The first game was
featured by many brilliant plays on
both Sides, but the second game was
fierce. Copp set a fast pace in the
first game and was all In when the
second was called. He insisted upon
sitting down upon the floor. Every
time he missed the ball bang" down
he would go, just trying to bluff the
gallery crowd and make them think
he had slipped. Billy acted as though
he were training for prize fight. He
stood in the middle of the floor and
sent several vicious right swings to-
ward the ball, but seldom landed. This
made him angry, so he began to coun-
ter with his left without avail. To-
ward the latter part of the game he
succeeded in placing a right uppercut
which sent the ball toward the ceiling
and scored pointer the other side.
George Adair, the good-iooking man
ager of the club baseball team, spent
the first day of his vacation yesterday
at the club. He did not go on the gym
nasium floor nor play handball-Just
stuck in the parlor and played bridge.
In the evening he went to the theater.
His vacation will last two weeks and
we shall endeavor to keep the boys in
formed as to the actions of this rising
young man during this period. About
August l he will leave for San Fran
cisco on business and will be gone for
about a month.
Lou Guernsey and Clemente beat
Gordo Whalen and s. Schepps yester-
day afternoon in one of the most ex-
citing games of handball that has been
pulled off at the club in many a day.
The score was ~ to rs and the game
was exciting throughout. AT one stage
of the game Gordo and Schepps led
by points, due largely to the superb
PLAYING of Gordo and the poor playing
of Clemente. The latter came into
FORM however, when Lou began CALI
ing him "clammy clam"--whatever that
means. Anyway, 1t had the same effect
on Clemente that a sight of the buffet
has generally on Lou, and he played
well.
There will be no game played Sun
dow Ixrt tho "a saha11 team tha game
which was scheduled with Riverside
has been Cancelled. Jay Welton made
a trip to Santa Ana yesterday after
noon and endeavored to get a game
with that team, but was unsuccessful.
It took Sam Hall and Ed Hedderly
Just one hour to play one game of pool
yesterday afternoon. Sam won the
great game and Ed only spotted him
Is balls.
Jack Nest got a haircut yesterday.
"ThanlS heaven" muttered the Witt.
Jack paid for the haircut. "Thank
| heaven" muttered the barber.
Famous" Parker one of the prin-
cipals in the handball game to be
played at the club Saturday afternoon,
put in a hard days work yesterday.
The boys noted his excellent physical
condition. He arrived at the club
about o'clock, got into his gymnasium
clothes, took handball and went into
the gallery, where he sat for one long
hour, coaching Gordo Whalen in his
game of doubles with Guernsey and
Clemente-the result of his excellent
coaching may be found in one of the
foregoing paragraphs-thenh he proceed
ed to the gymnasium, took a look
around and went down to the baths.
The boys noticed that he did not per-
spire from his exertions and must be
we'll trained. The odds are at to /.
Holbrook did little-just played hand
ball about half an hour, punched the
bag. wrestled a little, boxed a while
and used the chest weights. At the
