Interest in the great international
polo tournament to be held this after
noon on the Coronado field has been
aroused to fever heat in all parts or
the country.
One point of remarkable interest is
that it will be the first time that the
All-American championship has oeen
PLAYED, the conditions under which the
magnificent gold and silver trophy
was donated by the Coronado Country
club hitherto never having been COM
plied with. One of these conditions is
two teams foreign to Calift rnia must
be entered in the match, and this is
the first time since the trophy was
donated that this has been the case.
For this great All-American chann-
nionship event the contending teams
will be the Ranelagh OF El-glaho anu
the Bryn Mawr of Pennsylvania
Following is the schedule arranged
by the committee for the entire series:

White Sox 6, Angels o

There was no monkey business about
the game yesterday between the White
Sox Yannigans and the Angels, ana
the Coast league champions got a drub-
bing that will make them sit up and
think about more work before the regu-
lar season opens. The score was TO
against the Angels, and there never
was time when the Coast league
champions had d chance to win. koest-
ner Rriswalter and Phillips took turns
at trying to put an end TO the run
scoring biz of the visitors, but neither
was of much use in that line. the
Windytown boys had their batting sox
on and would not think of losing the
game. A good crowd attended ana
hurrahed for the home team, but even
that did no good. The same teams
plav this afternoon at the Chutes, the
game starting at $50 o'clock.
Following is the official score ana
summary of the game:
ANGEIIsS
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-13

Mt TOTWITHSTANDIN the anti
~ racing law enacted by the Texas
~ legislature, there win be a series
of spring meetings in the Lone Star
state, according to announcements
since the passage of the law. Dallas,
Fort Worth and San Antonio are pre-
pairing for spring meetings and the
fact that the bill does not go into ef-
feet until ninety days from yesterday,
which will be June IL, will enable these
cities to hold their meetings as orig
inally scheduled. Horsemen at Santa
Anita, including those who will return
TO the metropolitan circuit, are PLAN
ming already to take a shy at the Texas
game, as it will afford the horses a
stopover rest and give horsemen a
chance to pick off some dough that Will
be needed 1t is needless to say that
Texas will see the best class of racing
in the closing days of the sport that
it ever knew.
1t was reported around Santa Anita
yesterday that Colonel j. w. Brooks
would conduct several meetings this
summer in Montana, beginning with
thirty days at Butte. This also was
joyful news to horsemen. Brooks is
one of the best qualified men in the
business to conduct race meeting, as
he has no superiors as Handicapped
and racing secretary and he made such
success at Ascot park that there can
be no doubt regarding his managerial
ability. Brooks also enjoys the conf
dence and friendship of horsemen and
will be able to take more and better
horses to the Montana circuit than any
other man alive. If Brooks goes to
Montana the sports up that way Will
have the opportunity OF supporting a
lyn re
bit, either.
Billy Cross got together enough
dorine yesterday to go to San Fran
cisco, in some manner, and Will wit
ness the running of the Undine stakes
today. 1t will be case of hands-on-
your -pocketbookS during the afternoon,
as Bill is not overlooking any bets.
G. w. Robinson. owner of Hi-Caul-
Cap and Gentle Harry, stabbed the best
racer he ever owned last night. when
he took Mary F. to his barns. He got
her via the claiming route for 1925 and
may win a purse with her before the
season ends. However. she has been
in such poor health and her legs have
been so Internally weak that she is a
most unreliable brute at best.
Rey ell Dinero got an idea yesterday
that he was eligible to the Norfolk
stakes, it seems, and ran away three
miles while going to the post for the
third race. After he had encircled
the track more than two times the
judges decided that he was not a fit
betting subject and scratched him,
ordering a new book. AS the race was
run, Rey, old boy. would have walked
home.

the latter to carry its colors In the
international navy matches in Eng
land. which he won, his sobriquet
dating from that day. Soldier is still
a boxer of much Importance, and his
opinion on the Jeffries-Johnson miXup

BIG ATHLETIC
MEET PLANNED
PACIFIC ASSOCIATION TO PULL
OFF EVENT
CONTESTS TO TAKE PLACE AT
ELKs' REUNION IN JULY
Northern and Southern Athletes Wili
Compete in Track and Field
Sports-Prizes to Be
Given

George w. Braden, former chairman
of the local branch of the Pacific Ath-
letic association, returned from san
Francisco last week and brought with
him the news that the big amateur
meet which was planned for next sum-
mer In Los Angeles would be re-
ality. Braden conferred with the big
officials in the northern part of the
state, and all arrangements are CONF
plete for the biggest athletic meet ever
held in California. IL Will be held
during the Elks' reunion and grand
lodge meeting in Los Angeles, and all
events will be pulled off in one day,
at Ascot park, during the second week
in July.
The program will include all events
which are ordinarily pulled off at an
amateur track and field meet, with
the addition of a Marathon race, which
will be started at some distant point
and be arranged so as to finish at the
park. The track, which formerly was
used for horse races, is known all over
the country as one of the fastest in
the west, and In this respect will be
advantageous to establishing good rec
ords in the various events.
Any man, attached or unattached,
will be eligible to contest If he Is an
amateur of good standing and has a
record sufficiently good enough to make
his competition of advantage In the
meet. The reason that this limit Is
placed on the entries is to prevent any
congestion by unnecessary entries, as
the officials wish to pull the meet Off
in one day.
While north Mr.. Braden was as
sured by the authorities that Stanford,
Berkeley, the Olympic club of San
Francisco and the northern branch o.
the p. A. A. each would send at least
Ave men. All of the best local tall
ent, including Trotter, Himrod, holder
of the coast mile record; Spurgeon,
former Pomona athlete; Munger, coast
champion in the high jump Thomson
of Occidental and Charles Parsons,
former national champion in the 100
yard dash. will compete. Besides these
men Forrest Smithson Of the Multno-
nah Athletic club and worlds cham
pion hurdler, and Daniel Kelly of the
same club, and also worlds champion
sprinter, will compete In exhibition
races; but since these men come under
the jurisdiction of the Northwest as
sociation they will not be allowed to
compete for places in the champion
ship races. 1t is rumored that j. r.
Hagerman, formerly of Occidental
college, but at present in the east, will
be back in time to compete in the
broad jump. in which event he is
champion of Southern California.
A feature of the meet VIII be the
relay races. in which there will be at
least six or eight teams running.
Invitations will be sent to every
prominent athlete on the coast, and
all entries will be closed early in July
so as to give the officials a chance to
arrange the events in their proper cr-
der. Gold medals will also be given TO
all first place men and silver ones to
| those finishing second in any event.

meet virtually will resolve into a con-
| test between northerners and south

|. A. HIGH GIRLS
WIN FROM POLY
BATTING OF YOUNG WOMEN
ESPECIALLY GOOD
HILLTOP Maidens Show Result OF
Hard Practice, but Both Clubs
Show Weakness in
Fielding

The girls of the Los Angeles high
school baseball club defeated their Sis
ters of the Polytechnic high yesterday
afternoon in the first of series or
three games of indoor baseball, and
this, too, was done In the opponents
camp.
Although it was the first game of
the season, the girls showed the re-
suit of hard practice, and both teams
had their batting eyes with them ana
pounded the big sphere all over the lot;
but when the dust had cleared the
score stood: Los Angeles high lS
Poly 13.
An old hoodoo seems to hang over
Poly for they got as far as score NO.
1S, and, try as the girls would, they
could not add another tally.
monk" Pierce officiated as umpire,
and it is a safe bet he Will get wise
to the rules before he tries the job
again. 1t may have been due to bash
fulness but at any rate, Monk gave
some interpretations of the rules that
brought the girls about him in force,
and he admitted after the game he
would rather have eighteen McGraws
around him any time than eighteen
maidens fair, protesting against his
decisions.
The game was we'll played, but the
batting was far superior to the Held
ing, and both pitchers were touched up
in lively fashion and kept the base
runners on the move.
In the line of base running Miss Scott
excelled, for in the fourth inning she
stole second and third bases and then
cantered home on a passed ball.
Miss Childs made a three-base hit
in the third inning, but in attempting
to lengthen it into a home run was
| caught at the rubber in a clever play
by Miss Mary Brown.
| Nine errors were made during the
game, which shows that fielding prac-
| tice will be INDUCED in by both teams
! before the second game of the series
is played.
| The girls of Poly, although disheart-
ened over the outcome, are not dis
coura ged, and claim they will even
matters when the teams meet again
next week.
Ruth Brown made one of the best
plays of the afternoon by stopping
| liner from the bat of Miss Bingham,
retiring her at the initial sack.
1t was one of the largest crowds OF
| spectators that ever witnessed a girls
indoor baseball game, and large sum
was collected at the gate:
