Sportsmen who enjoy athletics and who
also appreciate the large part in the pro-
motion of them the newSboy baseball
magnate has played by placing his branch
of outdoor enjoyment upon a firm foot
ing in Southern California, answered
literally the call for financial assistance
and many who were unable to witness the
program in person nevertheless con-
tributed the price of admission.
Red himself. his freckles wrinkeled in
smile, was at the gate to welcome the
guests to his party.
His Lordship Fauntelroy called off the
first event promptly at 2:S0 and announced
the opening number as a throwing con-
test for accuracy.
Ten members of the Pasadena and Edi-
son teams lined up to demolish the target,
but each was very unselfish about seizing
the prize, and after the hurlers had taken

even landing in the near vicinity the
judges were forced to declare the win
ners by popular approval. Cornett of the
Edisons was awarded the blue ribbon and
Allen from the Crown City lineup was
adorned with the crimson badge.
The 100-yard dash which followed was
real exhibition of speed. Reinhard, Reid,
Galley and White entered to shake up the
dust and got off in a bunch. White

quailed at so much publicity. and the
conquer or of the ring aspirants from all
nations could not be coaxed into more
than honorary service on the coaching
line. Ed Morarity, always willing to
make heroic sacrifices, aseended the ju-
diciai seat and his name was constantly
in the mouths of the mob.
The game early developed into lam
fest with honors about even, and at the
end of the ninth each team had rung up
eight round trips.
Flick pu. up the first connection for the
electricians and jumped his trolley for
two blocks on the center field hill. Bris-
walter and Kelley landed him in the
barns with shot hit and inside bunt.
The Roses finished the second part of
the act with a good lead. Marcovitch,
Allen and Reid rambeled in almost to-
gether on paniclSy hot ones. and Galley

after a hit to the same place by Bris-
walter for a brace of sacks Briswalter
boodeled the rest of his journey during
some orpheum by Reinhard. Reid picked
out the soft spot in the of garden to
drop one that was good for half the trip,
but was caught trying to stretch his
franchise to the third cushion.
Lahey was the only bud from the
Bouquet club to solve any of Reinhard' s.
puzzles in the last of the third and no
body could help him off the second sack.
The Lord donged the recess bell at this
stage to show his marvellous collection of
ring acrobats.
Eddie Menny and Abdomen Austin en-
tered the square for the first exhibition.
Sunspots began to show on Fauntelroy's S
wig holder in the first round.
Round was very brutal and Abdomen's s.
hair was badly mussed. Menny almost
perspired.
Fighters clasped hands and erased all
personal grudges to combine against the
referee in the last act. Referee was
forced to seize chair In self-defense.
Kim, short for Kimberley gem, I'm

next alteration.
Rudy made three brand new faces that
have positively never before been pub
lshed in the first session.
The second and last rounds cannot be
chronicled on account OF the dust which
obscured the fighters After all signs OF
the CORY struggle had been removed
activities were resumed on the diamond.
Morarity and Briswalter were selected
to serve the guesses for their respective
sides and r anaged to stop the clatter of
hits until the close of the sixth inning
Morarity broke the silence by coming
in on Aliens hot drive through second.
