senting Englewood high school Of Chi
cago or Ann Arbor high school of Ann
Arbor, Mich, and the Lincoln high
school Of Seattle on New Years day

tiles of Seattle can prevent it.

ters are trying to induce the schools
of Ann Arbor and Chicago to make
trips to the Pacific coast against the
wishes of the school authorities in
those cities
superintendent Cooper said today
that he would refuse permission to any
of the Seattle high school teams to
meet teams from Chicago or Ann Ar
Dor unless the contracts bore the sig
natures of principals of the school rep
resented by the teams, If the Seattle
boys violate the order Of Superinten-
dent Cooper they will be barred from
participating in any other high school
athletic events.

PROMISED FOR TODAY
Boats Are in Fine Shape-Folsom
Withdraws His Little Mischief.
Wick Stewart to Sail
the Doris

The dory races that were to have
been held last Sunday under the aus
pices of the South Coast Yacht club,
and which were postponed on account
of the rain, will be held this afternoon.

ception of one. Walter Folsom has
Withdrawn his dory, the Little Mischief,
from the races, and says that he is
through sailing in dories.
Wick Stewart, ex-cOmmodore of the
club and one of Woods crew of the
Merrily has had the dOry Doris put in
commission during the past week, and
will sail her in the place left vacant by
Folsom's backing down. Although
Stewart has no chance of winning the
present series by reason OF starting so
late i'm the season. he will sail merely
for the love of the sport. Stewart has
signifed his intention Of entering the
next series at the beginning and trying
for a place. Stewart has had much eX-
perience in sailing and is picked as one
Of the hardest contestants for today's
races.
Billy GlasseI, one of the old sea dogs
down at the club, will sail on the Mer-
rily in Stewards place
Charles Peake of the sloop yacht
Vixen will be seen at the stick of the

see how badly he is going to beat the
other boats.

ing race.
Preparatory gun for the first race will
be fired at 1856 and the starting gun

gin after the finish of the first race.

BIG LEAGUERS
IN FINAL GAME
JOHNSON AND BENDER WILL
BE OPPOSING TWIRLERS
Bancroft FaVorably Impressed with
Southern california-Team is to
start for East and viii Dis
band at New Orleans

Today will be the last opportunity
for local fans to see the All-Nationals
and the Philadelphia Athletics in ac-
ton. as the two teams will close their
California trip with this afternoon's s
game at Chutes park Manager Connie
Mack of the Athletics and Frank Ban
croft of the Nationals are both eager To
annex the final contest to their string
of victories, and have arranged to use
their best twirlers in the effort. Walter
johnson will heave against Chief Ben
der of the Athletics. That combination
alone ought to pack the Chutes park
bleachers.
The past week has been rather dis
astrous to the teams schedule, as all
games had to be abandoned on account
or the rain.
After today's game the California
players now included in the two squads
will be dropped and eastern players will
take their places for the final leg of
the journey, which includes the cities
of Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, San An
tonic, Houston and New orleans among
the scheduled dates. Arriving at New
Orleans, the teams will play several
exhibition games and then disband De-
eember 10.
Frank Bancroft has been highly i'm
pressed with Southern California, and
although the recent rains have put a
crimp in the bank roll of the two
teams, there win be no tale of woe
carried to eastern ears.
Johnson, Gray, Meyers. Snodgrass,
Ellis and Heitmuller will remain in
California. 1t is expected that a strong
array of Fullerton fans will occupy
seats on the bleachers today to see their
townsman Walter Johnson, perform
against the big leaguers.

WINTER LEAGUE
RESUMES PLAY
SCHEDULE RTODAY'S GAMES
is PROMISING
Manager of Crown City Nine Will
Make Every Effort to Defeat
Los Angeles Aggre-
cation

After n weeks lay-on the California
Winter Baseball league will begin op-
erations again today, the Mccormick
and Pasadena mines hooking up at the
Crown city, the Salt Lakes journeying
to San Diego, Santa Ana tackling San
ia Barbara, the league leaders, at Santa
Barbara, and the Maiers playing with
the San Bernardino club at San Ber-
nardino. The players are anxious to
get back into harness and some lively
contests may be expected. The McCor-
mick Pasadena game should prove
hummer. Pasadena would rather de-
feat the McCormicks than either Santa
Barbara or San Diego, and it also
might be said with safety that they
would rather do this than win second
place in the league race. Manager Pal
mer OF San Diego was considerably
riled over the decision OF the directors
to cut out Saturday baseball, and for
a time threatened to sue the league,
but this affair has been smoothed over
and everything Is plain sailing again,
although the other teams will concen-
trate their efforts toward the defeat Of
San Diego. "Scotty" Allen will handle
the Indicator at san Diego, Jack ST.
mons will work at Pasadena, Langdon
will officiate at San Bernardino and
Wilhoit at Santa Barbara. Following
