TRACK ATHLETES WILL
LOSE NORTHERN TRIP
Board of Education Refuses to Sane
ton Plan to Send Representa-
tives to Stanford
Meet

Track athletes of the Polytechnic and
Los Angeles high schools Will be DIS
appointed to learn that they VIII not
have the opportunity to take the pur-
posed northern trip May l, as was an
ticipated by both schools. A CONFER
ence was held yesterday afternoon pc
tween Coaches Skinner of Poly ana
Ralph Noble of the Los Angeles high
schools with DIR. Z. c. Moore of the
board of education, and after long
session DR.. Moore decided that 1t would
be inadvisable to send the teams north.
The boards of control of both high
schools set aside sufficient money to
send their representatives to compete
in the interscholastic meet at Stanford,
expecting the board of education TO
sanction their act
Coach Skinner is in favor of sending
a challege to the winning high school
team, but Coach Noble is opposed to
this movement on the ground that the
winning team would carry away points
only in the dashes, giving Los Angeles
a walkover in the field events. Noble
said if Berkeley or Oakland high
schools carry away first honors in the
meet he will pit his athletes as team
with Polytechnic to compete with the
northern aggregation, but not other
wise, unless a strong squad wins.
Coach Skinner is laying plans to have
the Washington street high school attn
letes try conclusions with the Ruess
school of San Diego on the southern
field in the near future.
Poly athletes, if this meet is sched-
uled, should develop a strong steam, as
both schools are said to be equally
matched. This meet was called off re-
Gently owing to rain, but may be ar
ranged later

CINCINNATI, April 19.-The Ma.
today that it's investigation sustained
charges that an attempt had been made
to bribe Umpires Johnstone and Klein
during the Chicago-New York National
league game at the Polo grounds last
fall.
Proof of the effort had been obtained
1t was declared.
The names of the guilty persons are
kept secret The statement says:
"This matter was referred to the Ma
tional commission by the National
league and pertains to certain state
ments made by Umpires Johnstone and
KLEIN that an attempt was made last
fall to bribe them
I'VE have made a full and thorough
investigation and believe the state
ments as made by the umpires are true
and that an effort was made to bribe
them. The same, however, was un-
successful, and the umpires are deserv'
ing of the highest commendation.
I'm this matter the commission
would not hesitate a moment to insti'
tute most rigid prosecution against
the offender if they had the power tt
do so, and the corroborative testimony
to sustain the chages as made by the
umpires. We feel. however, that in tht
absence of this the party charged witt
this offense by the umpires should moi
go unpunished and for that reason WE
will furnish to every major league
club owner the name of the person whc
attempted this offense, with instruc'
tions to such club owners to bar hin
from their respective grounds for al
time to come"

in Response to General
Demand
IBy Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, April 19.-Jim Jeffries,
who is fast getting back into his best
fighting form, is going to make a trip
to Germany in six weeks, where he in
tends to continue his present hard
training and also take baths at Carls-
bad. He will be gone about eight
weeks, and he says that by the time
he returns he will be in excellent con-
dition.
Most theaters close June 1 for the
summer months, and Manager Morris
has decided to take Jeff to England
and have him appear at some theaters
and music halls in that country for a
couple of weeks.
Broadway heard tonight of plans
made by Jeffries to open physical
culture school in this city to teach
physical training, development and
boxing. Offices have been engaged in
the Metropolitan Life building corps
of instructors mustered in and school
will be open for business next Monday.
Friends of Jeffries say he conceived
the idea of establishing the school as
the result of thousands of letters he
has received from all parts of the
world from men and women, boys and
girls. asking him what exercises are
necessary to attain strength.

main because they can't afford to get
away. Others have come and gained
and gone. Still others lie in grassy
graves in the evergreen quiet places.
Through it all, at this time, there
runs a note of sadness. Even to those
who are opposed to the game as 1t
has been run in this state there is
much of pathos in the finish of the
contests of the great thoroughbreds,
and Santa Anita-name of charm in
describable-will remain always in the
memory of the horsemen, sacred to the
blooded animals which ran and ran,
without hope of reward. except rest

pearance of an assured fact, though no

round with a terrific right to the jaw
In speaking of the battle, Robinson
said it was repetition of the Young
Kaufman-Young Solomon battle at
Maud last Friday, with deal more
class injected. The gate in this little
town came to about $500, and Robin

although articles have not as yet been
signed Kelly is known to be willing,
and the presence of Papke on the
ground probably will result in speedy
agreement.
Should Papke whip Hugo, as he is
confident he will do, he has announced
that he will Immediately return to Los
Angeles and seek a return match with
Jim Flynn. This battle has been more
talked of than any other card. There
was great demand for a second meet
ing after Flynn whipped Papke in their
round session at Maud, but the
question of weight arose, Papke hold
ing out for a figure which Jim did not
have to make in the first meeting and
which he refused to consider in a re-
turn engagement. OF late it has been
intimated that Papke has decided to
come to Jims terms of catch weights,
and should he do so the pair will
tread the boards at the Junction late
in May.

LOS FELlZ is PICKED
FOR DISTRICT WINNER

The Los Feliz school of the Cahuenga
district looks like a certain winner of
the baseball league championship, as
the team leads the league with per-
feet percentage, having won four
games and lost none. With only three
more games to be played the students
are iubilaant over the prospects of
winning the handsome pennant which
will be donated by the citizens of Hol-
lywood and Colegrove.
The girls of the Los Feliz school are
in line for championship honors in
the basketball series, having per-
centage of 1000.
1t was planned to hold a track ana
field meet for the students of this dis
trict the first of May, but owing to
the fact that the baseball and basket
ball series will not be over by this
time, no action has been taken in ar

three interscholastic schools competing

Polytechnic high school students have
been training faithfully at Venice every
Saturday afternoon and in the course
of a few more days will finish their
training at Bimini baths.
Harvard military academy athletes
are putting in several hours learning
the water game and progressing rapid

of sending challenge to the northern
interscholastic teams, but owing to the

not been remodeled as yet and the plans
were dropped. Medals will be award
