L. A. HIGH ELECTS
NEW TRACK CAPTAIN
Mickey Mcclure, Fast Runner, Is Al
most Unanimous Choice-Many
Athletes Will Leave-Plan
Track Meet

Mickey Mcclure, holder of the South
ern California interscholastic SS0-yard
record, winner in the quarter in the
recent county and Southern California
meets, and at present running under
the colors of the Los Angeles high, was
elected to captain the track tam of 1910
at an election of the hilltop team.
Mcclure is one of the fastest 440 and
SS0-yard athletes in the state, and his
election was secured by a large major
ity, almost the entire school casting
votes for him. A candidate for man.
ager will not be voted upon until next
fall, as it is an impossibility to select
a man to fill the shoes of Harold Nc
Knight, who graduates, going to Stan
ford university. Among the most prom
inent athletes who will be missed from
the ranks of the Blue and White are
h. b. Hall, high schools champion pole
vaulter, who probably will enter q
northern university. Edward Robert
son, champion hurdler of Los Angeles
high school, will be unable to compete.
owing to the fact that he has been four
years in athletics. Jack Harrigan, a
member of the track squad who has
done we'll for his school in the low hur-
dies, will be another athlete who win
leave high school this year for north
ern university.
Arrangements are being made on the
quiet between the faculty of both Poly
technie and Los Angeles high schools
looking to the holding of a track and
field day with picked team from the
northern high schools before the end of
the present season. If such plan
should be arranged, some classy ma
terial will be brought together, as both
schools hold championship timber For
the pole vault event Poly would no
doubt enter Giffin, who cleared the bar
1t haf 10Th nf ff,o alaxr
nearly equaling the coast record for
this event, which is 10 feet inches.
For the hammer the Washington street
school will in all probability enter
Wallberg, who holds the school record
of feet inches In the high jump and
who can do 6 feet when pressed. George
Throop, who came in second in the ALI
Southern California meet, will be a
contestant in the 50-yard dash. Cess
Ter, holder of the interscholastic 50-yard
dash, will be running mate of Throop,
with Lugo. e. B. Hall will be a team
mate of Giffin in the pole vault.
For the $50 and 440-yard events be-
sides Mcclure there will be other en-
tries. Nothing definite has been de-
cided on the possibility of the south
meeting the north, but from the infor-
nation CLEANED yesterday it looks pref
ty certain that the meet will be held.
When Captain-elect Mcclure was
asked if there was any truth in the sto-
ries circulated about this meet In high
school ranks all he would say was that
he would neither deny nor affirm the
rumors "There were a few of the
track athletes talking about this north
ern proposition said Mcclure last
night, "but I think the matter was en-
tirely disposed of when they found out
that the Los Angeles board of educa-
ton was against having either the
Polytechnic or the high school team go

Here is something that will surprise
the average fan. Honus Wagner, be-
loved of the be-smoked populace of
Pittsburg, has doubled into a half page
of his "home paper" in which the
startling announcement is made that
he is modest man. So much over
come am / by this announcement that
the only recourse is to publish the sad
tale, word for word, as it was solemn
ly writ down. Take it as it goes:
Way down yonder in "Old Mans
field" Pa, (now Carnegie), about
twelve miles from Pittsburg, where
the dill pickles and the stogies bloom,
some day will be erected a monument,
on the port side of which will be in
scribed this touching epitaph:
Here lies Honus Wagner the Fly
ing Dutchman, in his day the greatest
of ball players and most bashful OF
men,"
No matter where he may roam, and
he has been in the roaming business
for many moons, he has TO run the
gauntlet OF the peeping Toms and the
rubbering Willles.
If there is one thing this mighty
ball player shuns it is the vulgar,

best metropoluses.

The first game Of ball Hans ever
took part in was in Steubenville, O.,
subbirg for his brother Albert, who
was considered far the better player
of the two.
After a couple OF innings mad peen
