ceiVes Glad Tidings in Letter from

Great Strength

Manager PhilLHarrigan Of the Los
Angeles high school track team re-
ceived the glad tidings yesterday that
Wallbridge, the fast shot putter, who
threw this metal over forty-five feet
last year and tossed the hammer a dis
tance of 14S feet at Occidental, will
return to school in time to join the
track squad. Craig, who ran the re-
lay aginst the fast Harvard Military
team last season under 53 seconds,
writes from Burbank that he will not
enter the hill top institution this year.
Captain "Puss" Halbriter of the
baseball team will have his players at
the training table the first Of next
week. This is a new scheme in base
ball circles in the south, but Halbriter
says that he believes the members of
the team should go on little diet
throughout their baseball training as
well as in football. New uniforms of
Yale gray will arrive this afternoon
from the north and Halbriter expects
to have them in time for his players to
wear them in the practice game sched-
uled with st. Vincent next Wednesday

LBy Associated Press

GOLDFIELD, New, Jan 14.-Abe Atteu
easily retained his title to lightweight cham
pion of the world by knocking Freddie Weeks
of Cripple Creek, Colo, out in the tenth round
tonight at the Godfeld Athletic club. Weeks
fought gamely, but never had chance to
win. His blows lacked the seam necessary 10
do any damage to the champion, who. came
out of the battle without a scratch.
Eddie Graney of san Francisco offciated as
referee, and made the boys put up clean
fight in every way. Graney received a royal
welcome from the crowd and was fully As
much of an attraction as were the fighters
About 1200 people the fight, and receipts
were about SSUOO. The preliminary between
Sid Humphreys Of Tonopah and Jack Shan
non of Stockton was won by the Californian in
the second round.
Atteu and Weeks entered the ring at 9:45
p. m, both being we'll within the weight Of
I22 pounds. Atten was seconded by Willard
Bean, Eddie Flynn, Ed Berry and Billy Pol
lock.
In Weeks corner were Ben Wilson, Louie
Polin, Morgan Williams, Jack Fogarty and
Larry Gordon.
Atten opened the fight with right swing TO
the head and ended it in the tenth round
with a series of vicious swings to Weeks
head and jaw, which staggered Weeks to the
Ropes, Attell following up with a right cross
to the jaw which put Weeks down and out
in one minute after the tenth round opened.
Abe then picked Weeks up and carried him to
his corner.
All the way along the route it was a hot
grueling fight, but the champion ut-generaled
Weeks at every point and was never in seri-
Gus danger. He frequently poked his head into
Weeks face and smilingly took blow after
blow without a vince or stagger. In the third
round AttelI opened Weeks left eye which
bled hard throughout the rest of the battle
and worried Weeks perceptibly. Hot mixups
marked the fight from start to finish, but
Weeks never had a chance. If Graney had
allowed any roughing it. If Graney had

were scheduled

POMONA SQUAD
TRAINING HARD
SLOANE SHOULD DO QUARTER
IN GOOD TIME
Coach Stanton Busy Teaching Starts
New Style Being Experimental
with in the High
Jump

Coach Stanton Of Pomona college is
having considerable trouble developing
material for his track squad, and Cap
tain Sloane is hard at work rounding
into shape the athletes. The prospect
of a meet with Berkeley has Fingered
the students up, with the result that
a large representation is out on the
oval.
Captain Sloane is undoubtedly the
best track man Pomona shows. He
should, with training, do the quarter in
close to 81 seconds. At the Pomona
U. G. meet last year he was within a
couple of yards Of the great Stanton,
who won his race that day at so 3-5
seconds. Harry Joss, the old Pomona
high school student, seems able to cover
the 220-yard straight-away in good
time this year. Occidental will miss
Kaufmanp, it's former half-miler, who
is seen on the Claremont field doing a
few laps of light work preliminary to
the interclass.
He is good for 2:O4, or less, in the
half mile
Coach Stanton has brought some new
ideas on sprinting with him. Instead of
a grinding long race he has begun
training by teaching the long distance
men and dash men the principles of a
quick start. The value Of careful use
of hands as we'll as legs is emphasized.
For the long distance men training, is
so planned that the runner shall very
nearly maintain the speed desired for a
final race, allowing him to stop at one
half or three-fourths the total number
Of laps, as, Of course, he must before
he is broken in.
In the high jump the men are trying
a new form, with more or less strad-
ding of the bar, but not at all the
Scissors form. In this, as in most of
the other field events, Pomona cannot
quite command the awe she did when
the star athletes Of 1908 held the arena.
Merriam, the state champion at the
high, holds &; record against Stanford
Of feet 2 inches, but is still eligible
to compete.
The same predicament faces Robert
Sturgeon, brother Of the famous hur-
dler, William. He is the best exponent
of the 220-yard dash in Pomona, but
he, too, will have to win his honors
from the prep team only. He is good
for about 22.2 or 1913, judging from past
performances.
Davenport will be Pomona's shot put
er, as usual. He is a fairly consistent
point winner, taking second only to
Thompson. Birdsall, the pole vaulter,
is going over the high sticks and makes
a point to go one notch higher than his
previous record, which is IL feet. Lor-
beer, the miller, who became famous
this season as end in the football game.
will be in season form to run his four
laps in 4:40 or less.
The loss Of Jones, the two-miler.
whose school duties forbid him putting
in regular time on the cinder path, is
much regretted.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-15

Ewing said very positively that he
never has wavered in his promise of
continuous baseball for Los Angeles,
and added that he would aid the new
club in getting organized, putting a
strong team in the field and otherwise
assist in getting it off to a good start.
He says that continuous baseball is
assured now that the league is to take
in two new cities, and it is his opinion
that continuous baseball will become
so popular here that the support will
make it a permanent arrangement.
Having been shown" regarding the
financial end of the deal, Ewing be-
1ieves that the club can be organized
today and that before he leaves for
home tonight it will be permanently
organized, differed and the location
will have been selected. Practically all
details now are complete, save for the
formalities in issuing stock and in other
minor details. Only a strong club that
will be a contender in the pennant race
will be satisfactory to Ewing, Berry
and the men who are backing the new
club, and the fans may go ahead with
enthusiasm at the prospect for a season
of continuous baseball that will be so
different from the working of the sched-
ules of other seasons that this enthus-
iasm will grow, instead of cooling off
between the long periods of dates that
the team would be away from home
under any other arrangement.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-15

The playing season will extend over
thirty-one weeks, and every club in
the league will have fifteen or sixteen
weeks of home playing dates. In Los
Angeles, the Angels probably will draw
sixteen weeks, and the new club will
get the remaining fifteen weeks. Each
southern club will play all other clubs
three series at home, and practically
all these at home games here will be
played at the Chutes. If Vernon is
lucky enough to get the new club,
games will be played there every Sun
day and Tuesday, the Sunday game be-
ing played in the morning.
Because of its admirable location,
Vernon seems to have a big lead over
all rival bidders for the new club. 1t
is within the 5-cent car fare limit, and
as easy to reach as the Chutes, which
assures that the fans will support a
club at Vernon better and to greater
profit than the stockholders could hope
for if the club was located at San Pc
dro, Long Beach, Pasadena or Venice.
The only argument against any Of
these cities as the home of the new
club is the distance from Los Angeles.
the time required to make the trip, and
the expense involved in car fares. Ow-
ing to these serious drawbacks, Los
Angeles fans would not support the
club in any of these cities as enthusi-
astically as a Vernon club could expect
to receive.

are much interested in the coming champion
ship contest for the Frank Garbutt handball
cup to be held Saturday afternoon at O'Clock

Speculation to the probable winner Of the
contests varies greatly. Neither man is spoken
o. as having walkover. 1t is generally agreed
that it will be a hard struggle and probably
the best handball game ever played by club
