 Several handsome trophies will be offered by Los Angeles for the teams in parade. and Captain Mintz has his mind set on bringing back a hand some silver or gold cup. He is not particular which.
 Mintz announced today that his in tention is to have drills at least once or twice a week It is not his plan to have any fancy drills. but he wants his men to keep step and know which way to turn when he gives a com maDd
