Much Indignation has been expressed
by Southern California baseball fans

Berry as they should have been, al
though the San Francisco papers re-

will wire President Graham this MORN
ing asking that a meeting be called
in the immediate future at which the
resignation of Secretary Long will be
asked for. other matters of import
ance also will be brought up.
Just why Secretary Long should
favor the north is a mystery. The
original agreement called for the sub
hitting of the fielding averages to the
afternoon papers. but the batting aver
ages were to have been published by
the morning dailies. Berry is greatly
incensed at the action of Long and
promises that he will not rest until a

HAVE YET TO DECIDE
RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP
Why Not Arrange Poly-Redlands Game
as Preliminary to Punting Exhbi-
ton at Fiesta Park Saturday

While the football season is prac-
tically over with the exception of the
American game scheduled for Christ
mas, but the Rngby championship of
Southern California still remains un-
settled. as both the Redlands and
Polytechnic teams claim the champion
ship. Poly defeated the Redland boys
in the first game between the two
teams, while Redlands played a tie
score against them at their second
meeting on the chalked field. The Red
lands team is willing to clash again
with the Mechanics to decide the
Southern California supremacy, but
that fifteen looks rather unfavorably
on this, as they feel as though they
have the championship cinched. If
a game can not be arranged between
the two teams, it is understood that
Redlands will start negotiations with
the Santa Clara team for a northern
game with the state championship at
stake.
A game between Poly and Redlands
teams as a prelimanry to the punting
exhibition at Fiesta park Saturday
would be a good drawing card and an
interesting and exciting exhibition Of
the English game.
