RAIN HINDERS
TENNIS PLAY
RACQUET WIELDERS IN NEED
OF PRACTICE
Many from Los Angeles and Pasadena
to Enter Tournament to Be
Held on Coronado
Courts

The recent rainy weather has inter
fered considerably with the practice of
tennis players who are preparing for
the Coronado tournament of February
H-22 Many players will go south to
represent Los Angeles and Pasadena,
and already twenty of known ability
have made arrangements to make the
southern trip.
The tournament, which will be given
under the auspices of the Coronado
Country club, will open the tennis sea-
son of Southern California. California
tennis players are more than usually
elated this season over the possibility
of sending representatives to the east
to compete for the national champion
ship. This was madt possible by the
action of the Southern California Ten
mis- association in joining the Pacific
Coast league.
The fact that Southern California has
SO many fine players and that tennis is
here an all-the-year-rOund possibility
makes it seem probable that Southern
California may before many seasons
succeed in anneXing the United States
championship.
There is some talk that Carl Gardner.
Mclaughlin and Long may come down
from the north to take part in the COM
ing tournament at Coronado Long
ranks first on the coast, Mclaughlin
second and Gardner third while Tom
Bundy, the local player, ranks fourth.

EMPEROR OF KOREA DIMES
WITH PRINCE ITO IN SEOUL
Host Declares His Return to Toxic
Depends on "His August
Master"

SEOUL, Feb. 6.-The emperor Of
Korea paid a visit to the japanese
residency today and had luncheon with
Prince Ito, the resident general of
Japan. His majesty thanked Prince
Ito for his great services to Korea and
particularly during their recent tours
through the country. Later in the day
Prince Ito returned the emperors visit.
Prince Ito will sail for home on a
Japanese warship next Wednesday.
In response to an inquiry today Prince
Ito said: "The question: of my return
to Korea depends entirely on the de-
cision of my august master, the en-
peror of Japan
The failure of Prince Ito to return
would be a matter of deep. regret to
Koreans and foreigners alike, with
whom he is extremely popular.
His recent speeches, however, have
indicated that unless there is an early
cessation of sporadic rioting among
the disaffected element, composed Of
few Koreans who, he asserted are
hindering the progress of the vast ma
5ority of the people of the country,
stringent action would be taken by
Japan.

HAS MADE GOOD
ON YUMA TEAM.
Los ANGELES PLAYER DOES
EXCELLENT WORK
COMES UNEXPECTEDLY TO THE
RELIEF AS CATCHER
Former Member of Violet Street Play
ground and chutes Mines
Proves to Be Fast and
Reliable

Ben Pratt, 10 years of age, has de-
veloped into a fast semi professional
ball player. At the present time he
is acting as catcher for the fast Yuma
team and, from latest report, is MAX
ing good in all departments of the
game. For a number of years Pratt
caught for the Violet street playground
team, and% later for the Chutes nine
in the California winter league ranks.
AS backstop he has no equal in
the miscellaneous ranks, and is looked
on by such baseball experts as George
NJ. Ward and Edward Morarity as
good man in picking them off the bat.
In newspaper clipping just received
from Yuma appears the following:
"Bennie Pratt, the fast Los Angeles
player who recently was secured by
the Yuma Reds, is one of tht fastest
men on the team, a heavy hitter, and
always goes from one bag to another
the minute the pitcher is about to de-
liver the ball. 1t required only a few
hours for Pratt to round into shape

GIRL ATHLETES
DIRECT SPORT
THREE YOUNG WOMEN COACH
PLAYGROUND HABITUES
BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL
ARE FAVORED PAsTIMEs
Violet Street Recreation Center In
Headquarters for Games Which
Come Under Supervision Of
Fair Sex

Two of the longest experienced and
best girl athletes connected with the
Violet street playground are Misses
Jessie and Edith Pratt, the former be-
ing manager of the girls baseball club,
and the latter manager of the basket
ball six, which recently has been or
ganized at the Seventh street play
ground.
Miss Pearl Humphries, at extreme
right, is coach of the girls department,
having first taken up athletics while
living in Orange county. Miss Hum
phries is a graduate of Stanford uni
versity and is we'll adapted to the re-
sponsible position she has assumed.
Before coming to Los Angeles, Miss
Humphries played on the Stanford bas-
ketball six and the indoor baseball
team and is an expert catcher for
woman.
Jessie Pratt, on the left hand side Of
the accompanying reproduction, has
been playing indoor baseball since she
was years old, having first taken up
tWirling, but, not liking that position,
she tried the initial sack, and, making
good in the first two or three games in
which she participated, she has played
III IllctI pOSlllOu SlIC6. MISS 1IdII Is
fast on her feet, and in game played
recently made two home runs for the
Violet street team.
Edith Pratt, in the center Of the pic
ture, holding the ball, besides being
manager of the club, is catcher for the
baseball aggregation, and she seldom
misses a ball while in the game. She
is quick on her feet and a sure thrower
to bases.
Miss Humphries, who has been coach
ing the children of the Seventh street
playground in athletics asked for as
sistants to aid her in starting various
sports and in teaching the younger
children the ms and outs of the game,
and the Pratt sisters were the first to
respond to the call.
The Misses Pratt come from an ath-
letic family. Two brothers, Ben and
William Pratt, were for a number of
years connected with various amateur
clubs in Southern California, while
cousin can hold his own in the manly
art of self-defense.

after his long ride from Los Angeles,
and the citizens of this town are we'll
pleased with Pratt's playing"
Ben Pratt at the present time is en-
gagged in mining with his father at
Yuma. According to the press clipping,
he went to witness a scrub game
played there one Sunday, and, after
waiting for nearly an hour for the
catcher TO join his team, dumped down
from the grandstand into the field and
said he was somewhat of catcher and
would help the management along.
After few minutes of waiting Pratt
was in his mask and made himself at
home. He has a code of signals that
he was taught while playing on the
Violet street playground.

HARVEST TABLES ARE SET

Thanksgiving spirit pervades the public
schools.
1t is specially manifested by contribu-
tions from the children themselves to buy
shoes and warm clothing for Mary and
John, who, without outside help could
not buy suitable clothing to allow them to
go to school, This is the day set aside
for such donations and to extend the
spirit of rejoicing appropriate to the sea-
son.
The historical significance OF the
Thanksgiving season. is taught the chill
dren by directing the lessons in reading
and writing and history so that they
bear on the first Thanksgiving and the
reason for setting apart such holiday
once a year. The children read of that
first occasion when the Puritans, in the
midst Of their troubles and their hard
ships, took q day to return thanks to the
Almighty for all the good things given
them.
And when the arithmetic lesson is heard
the children deal with problems allied to
Thanksgiving. Many a future head of a
family today has figured out how large a
turkey he could buy for IS at the present
price per pound.
