A MILLINERY OPENING.
A Delightful Social Event Given
by Miss Leslie Proctor Satur-
day Evening.

DAY Evening.
Miss Leslie Proctor entertain
ed Saturday. evening at her
home on the corner Of Elm and
Sixth streets in honor of the
graded school teachers, and the
occasion was an altogether de-
lightful one.
To speak by the card and af-
a manner much affected, the
order of the evening" was a
millinery opening, which re-
quires the additional explanation
that instead Of the exhibition of
beautiful creations of the really
truly milliner's art, bizarre crea-
tons of the men of the party
were exhibited, the unaccus-
toned sight of men sitting about
the rooms trimming hats for the
ladies' furnishing much amuse-
ment. When the trimming was
over each man found the lady
who had furnished the material
for his surprising stunt in mil
linery work, and he was reward
ed for his labor by having the
lady wear his creation and &C
company him to the dining room,
which was beautifully decorated
and where refreshments were
served.
Some of the results were quite
surprising, some of the men build
ing more strangely than one
could think, and some of the Gre
atoms being, as the little girl said
of her conduct, not so worse. u
Mr.. Woodberry Lennon, who got
the prize pretty stick-pin-iol
the best trimmed hat, trimmed
his hat like he had been trimming
hats for years every Sunday
morning before church for the
wife which he hasn't; and Mr.
1 R. S. Sledge, who has a wife
trimmed a hat like-no, it wasn't
like anything you ever saw be
fore, and he was awarded thu
BOBBY, an Easter chicken tina
was a joke. The pretty hat-pil
which was awarded the CIR
whose hat was rlost becoming tt
her was cut for by Misses Salli
Mclean and Lizzie Whitfield
who received the same number O
votes, and Miss Mclean won il
l the cut.
This altogether delightful &C
casion was enjoyed by quite
large crowd Of young people.

FORMER THR00P ATHLETE
TO WEAR MAROON C0L0RS
Bill Crowley viii Represent Univer-
sity of Chicago In Great
Relay Carnival

Bill Crowley, the greatest track man
that Throop college of Pasadena has
ever had, and who is now attending
the University of Chicago, has been
picked by Coach A. A. Stage as one OF
the Maroon representatives to partici-
pate in the great relay carnival, which
will be held in Philadelphia this even
ing.
Crowley has been a student at Chi
cagoe university for two years. Last
year he made the varsity football team
and was one of the sensations of the
year at halfback. This spring he was
declared eligible for the track team.
He is running the hurdles and putting
the shot in fine style and bids fair to
succeed Garrells, the great Chicago
athlete, as the idol of the Chicago
co-eds.
While attending Throop, Crowley
held the following interscholastic rec
ords for the coast: Pole vault, IL feet
inches; shot put, AZ feet inches, and
hammer throw, 1856 feet 9% inches. He
was also the mainstay of TROOPS
great football team, which won the
championship of Southern California in
1906.

HARVARD FAVORITE
FOR ANNUAL EVENT
STRONG RELAY TEAM WILL BE
ENTERED
InterschoIastic Meet at Stanford vii
Bring Out Teams from State of
Oregon as Well as
California

The next big athletic event on the
calendar of Stanford sports at Pale
Alto will be the annual interscholastlc
track meet which will be run Off on
the university oval on Saturday, May
l.. This event will bring together the
best athletes from the more important
preparatory institutions of the coast,
and because of it's excellence excites
great interest in Southern California
amateur circles.
The addition of several Oregon
schools will undoubtedly render 1t DIFF
ficult to pick a winner.
Harvard military school of Los An
geles, always well to the front in track
athletics, has been picked as the ia
vorite to win this years meet.
Coach Kinter Hamilton will send
seven men to compete against the
northern athletes in the relay races,
including Valley, the fast miller
Among those who will represent Har-
ward in the relay are Rogers, Valley
Loveth, Heath, Lawton, Hansen and
Night.
1t is said that Ward Giffen, the little
midget of Polytechnic high school, who
holds the interscholastic record in the
pole vault at a height of IL feet Az
inches, will go north independently to
compete in this event.
1t was reported in academic circles
that Mickey" Mcclure of Los Angeles
high school, who holds the interschol-
astic SS0-yard record of Southern Cali
fornia, and John Albrite of Ventura,
who won the interscholastic high Jump
record at height of feet l inch, will
also go north.

EXTRA PERFORMANCE FOR
BURNS-J0HNSON PICTURES

Owing to the enormous crowds that
have witnessed the exhibitions of the
Burns-Johnson fight pictures now at
the Peoples theater arrangements have
been made for extra performances on
Saturday and Sunday, April "a and 25
as follows: Matinees at l and $3.50;
evening performances at z, $3.50 and
$3.50. These pictures have been highly
praised by all those attending and the
press have been unanimous in stating
that they are the best pictures yet ex-
hibited of any fight. One of the main
features of this exhibition is that there
have been nearly as many ladies as
men present at each performance, who
have been very interested spectators
Owing to the fact that James J. JEFF
fries has just challenged Jack Johnson
for the championship, it will be most
interesting to see the pictures and
study Johnson and his movements in
the ring, which will give everyone 81
good line on his ability when he meets
Jeffries in the ring. Saturday and Sun
day will positively terminate the en-
gagement in Los Angeles, and this will
be the last opportunity to see the
greatest fight pictures ever exhibited in
this city. Both Burns and Johnson as
exhibited, are life-size all through the
fourteen rounds, which last one hour
and twenty minutes, giving the full
fight in detail exactly as it was pre-
scented in Australia.
Preceding the, regular fight by rounds
few pictures are shown, showing how
the two contests trained in Australia,
and some other very interesting sub
jects in conjunction with the fight.

CHANGES MADE IN ST.
ANDREWS GOLF RULES
Western Association Takes a Firm
Stand in Pioneer Move to Clarity
Atmosphere in Amateur
Matters

The one marked and noticeable
change from st. Andrews rules OF golt
in the new rules announced by the
Western Golf association is the short
but emphatic rule which reads.
mo puts shall be conceded"
The practice of conceding puts from
two to four feet has grown to such an
extent that a player who asks his
opponent to hole out his ball, if it be
two to three feet from the hole, is
looked upon as disagreeable person
to play with.
Neither the Royal and Ancient club
or the u. S. G. A. had the courage to
stamp out this bad practice Whlch mas
grown almost intolerable. They sim
ply recommend that players do not
concede puts to their opponents. The
Western Golf association, in its first
attempt at Independent rule-maklng,
showed it's ability to draft short but
emphatic rule that admits of but one
Interpretation. The player who con-
cedes a putt to his opponent, be 1t
long or short, loses the hole.
This is about the only material
change made in the st. Andrews
rules, except that the western law
makers have changed the word may"
and SHOULD" to must in several in
stances. This does not change the IN
tent of the rules, but it makes them
mandatory llSItdu VI OpIiOlcil. ChoOA
the new western rules players will be
obliged to win by superior skill in
stead of through concessions granted
by their opponents.
The Western association also made
ruling about taking practice strokes,
which is as follows:
SIN match play, if a. player make a
practice stroke within a clubs length
of his ball after it is in play, he shall
lose the hole. The penalty in stroke
competitions shall be two strokes"
This is clear and to the point. The
player can make practice strokes on
the tee before his ball is in play, but
anywhere else he must do so a clubs
length away from the ball or lose the
hole.
The Western association also pro-
mulgated special rules for DOGGY and
par competitions. These special rules
are the only official ones issued in rec
ognition of the popular but mythical
colonel The new rules are based on
a modified system of match play and
take into consideration the fact that
the players opponent is the fixed score
of a hole and not a living person. This
method of play against DOGGY was
originated by Crafts w. Higgins, editor
of the Golfers Magazine, who pub
lished for private use last fall his
ideas of what DOGGY rules should be:

THR0OP WILL MEET
PASADEDA IN TENNIS

The annual tennis tournament be-
tween Throop and Pasadena high
school will start next Monday on the
Crown city courts. Five events will
be contested during the week, mems
and women's singles and doubles and
mixed doubles. This year the meet
promises to be holly contested, as it
was last year when Throop won by
a narrow margin.
Both schools are fortunate in being
represented this spring by good play
ers. The men players from high school
are counted upon to win the events
from Throop, having made a better
showing this season against teams that
Throop has played. The Barker broth,
ers, Roehrig, Newell Stats and Forbes
are all first class players. Throop and
high school lost star players last year
through graduation last spring in Hor-
rell and Lockwood. Throop has two
of the best women players in Southern
California interscholastic ranks in Miss
Harriet Judd and Miss Jessie Mecca
ment. They are counted upon to win
all the events that they enter. Miss
Marie Lockwood and Miss Abbey will
be the high school representatives.
Last Saturday they lost their event
in the dual tournament against Poly
technic high school. 1t is expected
that the mixed doubles events will be
holly contested and that the result of
the tournament will hinge on these
matches,
