POLY SHOWS SUPERIORITY
OVER POMONA HIGH TEAM
Defeats Visitors by Score of 7 to a,
Outlasslng Them at All Sages
of Game

Polytechnic high school showed its
superiority over the Pomona high
school team yesterday afternoon on
the st. Vincent's campus by defeating
it by score of to 4.
Polytechnic not only outclassed its
opponents in regard to baseball play
ing but showed its experience in Sig
nails and stealing bases.
Pomona had an excellent infeld, but
through the lightning play OF the
washington street team the players
were unable to recover themselves.
Brooks Tomkins, who pitched the
last two innings, struck out his OPP
ponents in one. two, three fashion.
Porter, who pitched the other seven,
was a little discouraged, but he twirled
a mastery game until relieved by
Tomkins.
Manager Strang has never yet
shown what Porter could do in a nine-
inning game, and therefore should al
low him to twirl that number of in
nings in recognition of his pitching
ability. The work of Mary Pierce in
left garden was of excellent quality.
He has the making of a coming ball
player. His baserunning is meritor>
ious.
One thing noticeable in the game
yesterday was that Porter did not sup
port his catcher by backing him up in
pinch plays. thereby leaving the re-
sponsibility to the first baseman. Por-
ter has speed and within a few more
years will become one of the foremost
slabsters in the interscholastic league.
Bibo at second shows ability in hold
ing down that position. Price at some
stages of the game showed his angry
passion by not getting a hit with the
new bat which he recently bought,
therefore jeopardizing the lives of the
fans by throwing the stick. 1t was
noticeable in the game that he came
within an eighth of an inch of striking
Coach Brewer and Gripping him for
life.
This afternoon the Pomona high
school team will try conclusions with
the Ontario team on the latters dia-
mond.

INVENTOR HITS CUPID
WITH A DARNED SOCK
Bachelors Say 70, Ho! for New Ma
chine viii Mend Holes in
Twinkline

NEW YORK. April 2.-As If Gu
pid's job of cutting down the supply of
bachelors wasn't hard enough these I'M
romantic days, along comes a fellow
and invents a sock darner. The little
machine which is destined to keep a
great many unappropriated females
waiting at the church reached town a
few days ago. It's success was instan-
taneous. Manufacturers of the article
are working their forces night and day
to supply the demand.
What is a bachelors apartment
without sock darner? 1t does the
work better than a woman could, and
doesn't brag about it,
This is a sample of the claims made
for the new invention. 1t has thrown
parsons, jewelers. and installment
houses into a state of panic. Even at
this writing they can see rust accumu-
lating on the cash register. 1t is both
a labor and love saving device. You
don't have to labor with a woman to
convince her that you love her. in or
der to win her for sock-darning pur-
poses.
That old matrimonial bait about the
comfort of having a woman to stop the
holes in your clothing goes into the
discard now. Millions have gone down
before it. With this lure out of the
way, bachelors are immune. Coming
expected that the little machine will
save thousands of intended victims.
1t is simple in construction and easy
to operate. In appearance it is cross
between a cruller and a soft shell crab,
having the hole of the former and the
legs of the latter. First of all, the in
valid sock is emptied of feet. Then it
is drawn over the prongs until the af-
fected part is directly over the bore OF
the machine, which fits into the palm
of the hand like a dollar watch. 1t is
the work of a few seconds to close ur
the gaping wound. The continuance
may be used for half-soleing and heel
inc trousers.

MAY PROBE AMATEUR
STANDING OF FREETH
Wants to Settle Permanently the Po-
sition of Life, Guards and Bath
house Attendants

The members of the South Coast
Swimming and Athletic league of
Venice are seriously considering the
advisability of making an appeal to
the governing board of the A. A. u.
at its next meeting regarding the anna
teur standing of George F'reeth, who 1t
is understood, will play on the Re
dondo water polo team during the
coming season.
They argue that it is a poor rule that
won't work both ways and state that
as Freeth was barred from playing
with them on account of being under
salary to perform the duties OF life
guard he should likewise be barred
from playing on any other team.
1t is also rumored that the standing
of other players will be protested and
the matter carried through to final
settlement, so that it will rest for
once and II time.
The organization is preparing to put
a fine team of amateurs in the field
during the coming season and desires
to have the standing of life guards and
bathhouse attendants settled at once.
