THE PEACH KING.
Revolution in Orchards Accomplished
 by Yankee in Georgia.

Down in the state of Georgia they have peach orchards where you can walk a mile in straight line and not get beyond the end of row of peach trees.
 After the civil war any one could go through the same country and see nothing but >cornfields. Now more peaches are produced on Georgia soil than in any other portion of the Unit ed States with the possible exception of California.
 This revolution in horticulture. ac- cording to The Bookkeeper. was brought about by Connecticut Yan- kee. J. II. Hale as boy began his start in life by carrying fruit and truck in baskets to Hartford. Conn. and selling it from house to house. He finally accumulated enough money to plant a little orchard of his own in the suburbs of Hartford on ground

Football Teams Will Line Up at Fiesta
Park for the First Game in
Series for 1909
Season

Inc Thistle and Los Angeles associa-
ton soccer football teams will line up
at Fiesta park this afternoon for their
first game in the 1909 schedule. Both
teams have changed their lineups con-
siderably and, with two days practice
during the week, are in perfect condi-
tion and eager to determine the su-
premacy Of their respective aggrega-
tions.
The Los Angeles team has played one
game with the Rangers, which they
won. The Thistles have been idle since
the last game, December II, but as they
rolled up two points to the Rangers
one, as an average in the past season,
they feel confident that today's game
will be theirs. Mr.. Morris, the man
who fathered soccer football in Los An
geles, will act in the capacity of ref
cree in tOday's game.
GOrfunkle, who was injured while
playing with the Thistles in the last
game of the 1908 series, has recovered
fully and has signifed his willingness
to play the half position with his team
this afternoon.
The game will be called at o'clock
sharp in order that it may be finished
in time to allow Aeronaut Zerbe to
make an ascent with his aeroplane
before darkness sets in.

from the showing made against the
various other clubs in the league it
will come close to winning the pennant
at the end of the series. Coach STAN
ton has been drilling the basketball
squad with much care during the past
cellent condition for the seasons con-
tests.
Several fast games have been sched-
uled for the CIaremont college five, and,
according to the showing thus far
made, the boys should be able to mold
their own against the remainder of
the teams.
During the past week the members
of the team have been observing strict

Stanton.
The schedule of games arranged for
this week will be as follows:
January 27-U. S. c. VS.. Pomona, at
U. S. c.
January 3O-Whittier VS.. Pomona, at
Pomona.
February 3-Pomona vs. Occidental,
at Pomona.
The Pomona five is a fast bunch on
their feet and no doubt will give the
other teams in the league a hard run
for the pennant.
The preparatory boys throughout the
season have lined up as follows:
A. Miller, center; Barns and Stelz-
ner, forwards; Wire and Allen, guards;
r. Spurgeon, substitute guard; Holly,

Game

The Occidental academy basketball
team ranks as one of the best clubs in
Southern Californias intercollegiate
circles and it has bright prospects for
winning the championship bunting this
season
Coach Braden has had his men out
training on the indoor courts every
afternoon possible and by defeating the
Pomona preps Oxy was advanced to
second place in the standing of the
league teams.
Occidental has gone up against some
strong aggregations in the past three
years and knows what it means to lose
a basketball championship.
Great encourage cement always is given
the team by both faculty and students.
In the game the other day against u.
S. G. a large number of rooters fol-
lowed the Oxy squad, and although it
lost it was not the fault of the team
collectively, for in team work it cannot
be equaled in Southern California.
McClung and Underhill are two of
the best basketball men in the south
and understand the salient points Of
the game, are advanced we'll in a
knowledge of the rules and never have
been penalized for rough playing.
Occidental is handicapped greatly
because Wilson, the former Compton
high school expert, sustained a sprained
ankle and will be out of the game for
several weeks.
The Presbyterians are husky bunch
and never show moment of idleness
throughout the entire game.
Baer is one of the best players on
the squad at free throws and is good
