PASADENA GREETS
VISITORS FROM SEA
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Nov. 16.-Twenty Ger
man naval officers from S. M. S. "Ar-
coma" were the guests today of the
Pasadena board of trade. They were
met at Annandale and were taken
over the same route which President
Taft followed. Their entertainment
was, in fact, much the same, with the
exception that they had time to linger
and enjoy the beauties of the famous
sunken gardens of their countryman,
Adolphus Busch, and were able to sit
through an elaborate luncheon instead
of being rushed away after twenty
minutes at the table.
President q. I. Off of the board of
trade headed the party of Pasadenans
welcoming the distinguished foreign
guests. At his right, when luncheon
was served at Hotel Maryland, sat
Commander Schroeder. A Pasadena
host for each of the visiting officers
was provided.
The luncheon, following the automo-
bile ride, was a particularly happy
affair. Round tables were used,
grouped about the room, each decor
ated with red carnations and ferns,
and about the walls and corners of
the dining room German and Amer
lean flags were draped. The viands
served were alla German dishes, which
brought smiles of satisfaction to the
faces Of the guests, and there were

Norval and Rogers to Box Ten Rounds
as Semi-Windup-Geyer Con-
fident of Winning the
Return Match

Denver Jack Geyer and Joe Willis Of
San Francisco yesterday were signed
by Manager McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club for a ten-round bout, to
be staged Tuesday evening, November
80, at Maud Junction. As semi wind =
up to the main event Charlie Norvall
and AL Rogers will step a similar dis
tance. All four boxers will go imme-
diately into training.
In signing Geyer and Willis the Pa
cific Athletic club has assured Angel
city fans of seeing two fighters whose
appearance guarantees a full house.
Although knocked out in the final
round of his recent match with Willis,
Geyer believes a return engagement
will tell q different story. Willis, on
the other hand, predicts a more speedy
finish for his opponent Both men put
up the style OF milling which makes
every fan, even those whose faces at
ringside seem a part of the perform
ance, aware that a real fight is in
progress. The men are willing mixers
and fight as though every round were
the last. All doubts as to the game
ness of either were set at rest by their
battle of a week ago.
After being almost out in the ninth
round Willis superior cleverness
turned the tide of defeat into victory.
Should either fighter gain a decisive
victory the rosiest of prospects will be
his. He will be looked upon as
heavy who has made good. a fighter
entitled to battle Jim Flynn, and If he
comes away victorious-who knows.
Charlie Norvall and Al Rogers prom
ise to put up nearly as exciting bat
tie as the main eventers.

GERMAN SAILORS
GIVEN WELCOME
LANGUAGE OF FATHERLANp USED
AT PACIFIC ELECTRIC GRILL
Songs Are Sung and Speeches Made
and Toasts offered In Greet
ing to the South
land

Had the casual observer looked into
the Pacific Electric grill last night he
might have fancied himself in one of
the gay cafes of Berlin. And again,
had he dropped into Turner hall, III
Main street, he would have been forced
to believe that he was not in Los An
geles, but in Germany. 1t was Ger
man night in Los Angeles, and 1t was
all in honor of the officers and men
of the kaiser's cruiser, Arcona, now
moored in Los Angeles harbor. at the
foot of Fifth street, san Pedro.
German songs sung while German
menu was enjoyed German speeches
spoken in the native tongue, and Ger
man guests seated round table dec
Grated with German national colors--
such was the scene in the Pacific Elec-
trio grill. Here the officers of the
Arcona were the honored guests In
Turner hail. German dances were
tripped off to the accompaniment OF
German tunes by German lassies and
German sailors in the kaiser's navy.
Each scene was the work of the Ger
man American alliance, and each was
filled with gayety, such as only Ger
mans can bring into being
Informal Reception Held
AS the officers of the Arcona. in full
reglmentals, marched into the banquet
room, keeping time to tho German ma
tional anthem, which was hummed the
while by the waiting hosts, a pretty
sight was presented. For fifteen min
utes an informal reception was held
and, in that brief time, the officers
were made to feel as much at home as
though thry were back in the father
land.
The banquet board was distinctively
German. Each plate was marked with
a tiny German flag. At the head of
the table sat Captain Commander
Schroeder. and on his right sat G.. c.
Rohde, toastmaster. and on the COM
mander's left sat Mrs. A. II. Koebig
and her husband.
Toastmaster Rohde spoke the words
of welcome, not in the usual American
manner, after the banquet had been
eaten, but almost as soon as the BAN
queters had taken their seats. Later
Mr.. Koebig, in brief speech, proposed
the health of the kaiser, and it was
drung to the accompaniment of Hook!
Hook! Hock!" and appropriate Tue
tonic music AS the banquet was near
ing an end Commander Schroeder rose,
thanked his hosts on behalf of the
kaiser and his fellow officers for the
hospitality shown, and then raised his
glass todrink to the name of President
Taft Again the cries of "Hoch! Hoch!
Hock" rang out from every throat.
Immediately the orchestra burst forth
into the strains of THE Star Spangled
Banner" the refrain of which was
taken up and sung by the banqueters,
who remained standing until this
anthem and my Country 'Tis of
Thee" had been played and sung.
The banqueters adjourned to go in
body to Turner hall, there to partlci-
pate in the dance given by the Alliance
to the crew of the ArcOna.
The officers were the guests yester-
day of the chamber of commerce in I'm
automobile ride about the city and 20
Pasadena. Tonight the chamber will
banquet the officers at the California
club and tomorrow officers and men
viii be taken around the kite shaped
track.

is working out for the last game of its
schedule next Saturday, when the Long
Beach pigskin artists will be here.
The team is weakened by the loss of
Smith, who was hurt in the game with

While Smith was not seriously hurt,
he is not in shape to work out for the
