TO DECIDE COUNTY
HIGH CHAMPIONSHIP
Each Team Has Victory to Its Credit
and Contest Should Be Fast.
Pierce Out of the
Game

The last game of a series of three baseball
games for the county high school championship
will be played this afternoon at Long Beach
between the Polytechnic and Long Beach high
school teams. The first game was captured
by the seasiders by a score Of to 8, the second
contest by Polytechnic by score of IL to L.
The game this afternoon should prove interest
ing as both teams say that they are in the best
Of condition and will win.
Large crowds have been attending these con-
tests and considerable money has been turned
into the high school athletic funds by both
schools Long Beach will have its strongest
lineup on the field this afternoon Polytechnic
will be minus Monk Pierce. who is captain and
plays the position of shortstop. He will be
unable to play ON account of being low in one
of his subjects. Catcher Price, who was out
of the game last week. will be in Poly's lineup
this afternoon, and in all probability Pratt
who caught last week. will be moved to short
stop.
Enloe and Tompkins will be the opposing
slabsters and it is safe bet to say that 1t will
be a hard fought contest from start to finish
Following is the probable lineup:
Long Beach-Young, 3b; Coughlan, IF; Wor-
them eff Fulton, Obj Peterson, 1b; Enloe, p

REDONDOWATER POLO
CLUB IS DISBANDED
Friction over A. A. U. Standing ct
Players, Long Drawn Out, Causes
Rupture Which Is Difficult
to Settle

On account of the action taken by
the members of the Southern California
MIA branch of the A. A. u. the Re
dondo Beach water polo team unanl-
mously agreed to disband last night FOR
the rest of the season. This means that
the proposed water polo league VIII not
be organized until a fourth club is Sc
cured which will not be in all propapll-
ity this season.
The action taken last night, accord
ing to Manager CULVER, is the Gull
mination of the long drawn out fight
now being waged on the registration
committee In speaking of the water
polo situation last night CULVER said,
"Our players have lost all interest IN
the game on account of the uncertainty
as to their amateur standing before the
members of the A. A. U. If the cases
could have been heard at once l am
under the strong impression that the
boys would put their shoulder to the
wheel and stay with the plunge they
are representing. The board has de-
layed it's decision so many times the
members have become impatient on the
subject and the action at tonight S
meeting was the result"
There will be a meeting of the regis
tration committee this evening at the
Y. NJ c. A., when the case of FRANK
Holbrow will be settled 1t was stated
last night by one who knows that
George Freeth would appear and try
to prove the ugly charges preferred by
him a few weeks ago against several
amateur swimmers of receiving COM
pensation while in the employment of
the various bath houses. The charges
were dismissed at the last meeting on
the. ground that no evidence was
brought before the commission against
the youngsters. All members of water
polo clubs against whom Freeth filed
charges are requested to be present and
either clear their regulations as anna
tours or be placed in the ranks of pro-

IN GOLF GAMES
TAFT AND FORMER CHAMPION
TRAVIS ARE PARTNERS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE CARRIES OFF
HoNoRs OF CONTEST
Exciting Game Against Gen. Edwards
and Capt. Butt Brings Spectators
Applause on Links of Chevy
Chase Club
IBx Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, May 12.-With vic
tory perched on his golf stick, Presi-
dent Taft returned from the Chevy
Chase club links late today. Taking
Walter j. Travis, the former national
and international champion, for his
partner, the president helped defeat by
a score of / up the opposing team, com
posed during the first seven holes of
play of Gen. Clarence r. Edwards,
chief of the insular bureau, war de-
partment, and Oden Horstmann, crack
player of the Chevy Chase club. Mr..
Horstmann's place was taken after the
seventh hole by Captain Butt. Mr..
Horstmann was obliged to drop out be-
cause of a wrench to his side suffered
several days ago in playing a cham
pionship game.
The feature of the game was a re-
markable drive made by the president,
who on the eighteenth hole led with a
long, straight drive to within three feet
of the home goal. Hundreds of mem
bers of the club who were gathered
around the home green applauded the
presidents extraordinary play.
Unfortunately, he fooled his putt
and made the hole in three.
At the seventeenth hole the president
and Mr.. Travis were 2 up, but General
Edwards and Captain Butt won the
eighteenth hole, making the score l up
in favor of the president and Mr..
Travis.
The total individual score of Mr..
Travis was "a and that of Mr.. Taft 92.
From start to finish the game was
exciting, the two pairs at no time being
far apart in their score. 1t was an ex-
hilarating day, ideal for golf, and the
president entered with unwonted zest
into the spirit of the game. 1t was
after o'clock tonight when, smiling
broadly and telling his golf compan-
ions who accompanied him back to the
White House in his big motor car, that
he had enjoyed his afternoon immense
ly Mr.. Taft got back to the executive
mansion.

fielder, who is slated for release by the
Chicago National league team, has
been in close conference with Manager

natural that he would like to battle for

Furthermore, Cantillon could use an
other hard hitting outfielder Develop
ments are expected in day or so. Be-
fore Browne could go to Washington
