DECIDING SERIES
IN STATE LEAGUE
Edisons to Meet Gateway Nine at
DoIeeviIIe-Gardena and Redondo
Will Cross Bats--other
Games Scheduled

Owing to the close race for the pen
nant between the Southern State
baseball teams, Sundays results will
be watched with more than usual in
terest. Three fast games, according to
past performances, should result when
the numbers flash past the wire Sun
day evening.
Ward will take the Edisons to Dodge
VILE for a shot at the Gateway boys.
Both aggregations are playing first
class ball, although the lineup of the
Electricians has been greatly strength
ened. Although now fourth in the
race, should this team continue the
same fast baseball which has featured
the games played during the last two
Sundays, there is an excellent chance
that this nine will finish well within
the money.
Redondo will journey to Gardena for
a shot at the team of that city. Re-
dondo Is still in the van of the contest
by a narrow margin and will undoubt-
edly be forced to every effort In order
to win tomorrow's game.
Long Beach and Downey VIII clash
at the beach city, and although the
majority of fans concede the home
team an easy victory, there is a good
chance that Downey will slip one
over. Thistles and Wellingtons will
cross bats at Athletic park. Tomor-

Team

Pomona high school Rugby team VIII

Pomona high is entering strongly FOR
the English game this year and is ex-
pected to make an excellent showing

very best of training and hopes to add
another victory to her list. The me-
chanics have been gracticing at Fiesta
park for the last week and are doing
fast work under Coach Skinner. The

OXY PREPS VICTORS
OVER WHITTIER LADS
Goal Kick Wins Game for Presby-
terian EIeven-HyIe Plays Star
Game at End for
Losers
oxv Preps. e;whIttIer. 5

The Oxy preps in a fast, well played
game defeated the Whittier State
school boys by kicking goal after their
touchdown in the first half. The eiev-
ems played snappy ball and both sides
were kept busy in holding the score.
Whittier played good bali. considering
the fact that this was the first game
of the season.
Underhill for the preps played the
star game, while Hyle, left end for
Whittier, played an impenetrable de-
fense. The academy lads took the
state school boys off their feet in the
initial down or two, but the latter
soon settled down and performed in
creditable fashion. Several times dur
ing the contest the Whittier line
proved weak against the sturdy preps,
but just as often Hyle of the state
school eleven broke through the back
field interference of the preps, getting
the man with the ball. Hyle played
a great game for the Whittier lads,
and many of their plays were centered
about this speedy end.
The preps played better ball than
they did a week ago against Holly
wood. Gilkey, last years fullback was
again in the game, Underhill the stur-
dy captain, holding down left half,
with McKelvy, who played full last
Saturday, playing at right tackle.
The Oxy line held exceptionally well
throughout the entire game. Only one
forward pass was successful, although
several were tried, which McCIung and
Petty negotiated for fifteen yards.
About three minutes before time was
called in the first half Underhill broke
the Whittier line on a tackle buck,
carrying the ball forty-fve yards for
a touchdown. Underhill kicked very
pretty goal. During the remaining few
minutes of play the ball zigzagged
back and forth up the field. During
this half Underhill, punting for Oxy,
showed to advantage. but was later
severely injured McKelvy took Gill
keys place at full, Gilkey going to left
half. Milligan was put in tackle.
In the second half the Whittier boys
came back strong and kept the prep
boys in their town territory most OF
the time. Reuben playing right guard
for the state school boys, showed up
we'll, as did Moore at tackle.
Most of Whittier's best gains were
made by Hyde around end. Hodge
later carried the ball around right end
for a touchdown. Whittier failed to
kick goal. The lineup:

Girls basketball is receiving strong
support at Polytechnic high school this
season. For the past two weeks about
twenty girl team aspirants have been
reporting for practice, and under the
assistance of Miss Meredith, formerly
of whittier high school, the basket
ball recruits have been rounding into
shape for the coming season games.
Miss Mary Brown, one of the most
versatile athletes in girls athletic cir
cles of the county, is with the team
and is of great value. She has starred
on the quintet for several years and
is noted as an all around player. At
tennis she is considered the fastest
girl player in Southern California
high schools and has met some OF tne
noted pIayers of the coast. She is also
a star on the girls baseball nine and
will be of great assistance In that
branch of sport this year.

Rakersfield Baseball

Bakersfield now has a baseball as
sociation operating on strictly busl-
ness basis. The business men of the
CITY have taken q hand in the PROJECT,
and. backed by their support and the
enthusiasm over ball games for when
Bakersfield Is famous, we predict that
the organization will eniov a success
full future. The following is from
recent edition of Bakersfield daily:
The Bakersfield Baseball association
was organized last night and from
now on an organization OF business
men will assume the direction of the
local team.
1.-THE board of directors. consisting Of
Fred Gunther. Lyman Lowell, Harry
A. Jastro, H. c. Katie, Phil Klipsteln
Harry G. Stuart, e. p. Sanders, James
r. Mcguire and "Spot" Macmurdo,
met at the office Of the Power, Transit
and Light company and organized by
the election of the following officers:
President, Fred Gunther; vice presl-
dent, Harry G. Stuart: secretary, H.
rC. Katie; treasurer, First National
bank; manager, J. P. Carroll.
1t was moved that q committee pc
appointed to draft suitable bylaws Tor
the government of the organization.
1t was also moved that the president
be directed to appoint committee to
assist Manager Carroll in the collection
Of all subscriptions unpaid and due to-
dav. The subscription lists were turned
over to the new organization to con-
tinue the financial support of the
team.
Roy Gilchrist, secretary of the old
organization, was present, ana mace
report of the condition of the team
finances. He stated that the liabilities
of the team aggregate about $3.50, and
the subscriptions unpaid and due Tor
the month of October will offset the in
debtedneSs.
While the new organization does not
assume the obligations of the team, 1t
does intend to see that they are prop
erly discharged by the collection OF the
subscriptions.
The new baseball association is or
ganized primarily to continue the
games and arrange for next season by
the organization of a Central California
baseball league, which will be an or
ganization allied with the national
baseball commission, and will be
class C league. 1t will be an organ
lied league, with all the rights and
privileges of minor leagues, which will
nut the game on firm foundation and
protect the minor clubs from raids for
new material by the other leagues.
Letters were read at the meeting last
night from w. H. Killan, secretary OF
the Modesto Baseball association, and
Manager Giddings of the Newman
Baseball association, in which they ap-
proved the organization of valley
league next season, provided 1t is or
ganized on right lines and that it will
start on sure footing.
1t has been stated in the city pa
pers that Cal Ewing Of the Coast Base
ball league intended to take the State
league into organized ball, forming
them as a class B league, and that
Bakersfield has been suggested as
probable member The consensus OF
opinion here Is that Bakersfield does
not desire to become a member OF
big state league, but that 1t will be
better to organize a valley league first,
and If the conditions warrant the move
to become a member of the State
league in 1911 or later.

FOR THE GIRL OF TWELVE
Some Holiday Presents That Will Be
Most Pleasing and Appro-
pirate.

Perhaps there is no more difficult
person in the household for whom to
select a gift than the girl of about
II years old. She has outgrown dolls
and such childish delights; she cares
nothing for the dainties that would
please her older sister, yet something
must be found for her. In olden days
sashes made excellent gifts. but now
they are not quite 30 useful. Why
not replace them by a ribbon for the
hair, with embroidered ends? The
cost would be comparatively little and
the work would be almost nothing.
It would take a piece of ribbon about
a yard long and about five inches
wide. Cut the ends across and m
broider, in the self color, a scallop
and, perhaps, a small design on the
order of the Dresden work.
This would be a nice gift ana
would delight the heart of the little
girl at that period of life between
little girl and young ~wcmanhood.
