AN ATHLETIC NEWS SECTION

Junior is willing to help. This is the
way It is going to do It.
There is nothing like publicity. You
want to know what others are doing
and they want to know what you are
doing That's what a newspaper is
for. On Saturday morning you want
to be able to read In your own paper
The Junior. what the girls and boys of
this city have been doing during the
week, what they Intend to do, what
they are getting ready to do. For the
last few weeks Mr.. Barthell, head Of the
manual training department OF the
public schools, has been telling you
about the big kite contest that Is
coming soon. Professor Hidalgo, one
OF the directors of the Pacific Aero
club, explained the Importance of aero
nautics and announced the prize of the
Hidalgo cup, which is to be given for
the best aeroplane model.
Now these things are rather new, but
there is one field in which the children
Of San Fracisco have been interested
for almost two years--that is IN ath-
letics 1t has taken a great part in
school life, and yet there is no place
where you can all learn what is being
done. Unless you have big meet you
don't get into the regular papers. But
you have a paper of your own. and
from now on it will be your own faults
If you do not take advantage Of what
1t is willing to do for you. Some of the
schools have already seized the oppor-
tunity. The Junior so far has printed
athletic reports from the Hearst,
Spring Valley, Pacific heights, Hamil-
ton, Franklin and st. Peters parochial
schools. You can all be represented If
you want to.
Here is the plan: If you want the
news Of your school where every one
see 1t elect reporter, who will be
responsible for getting into the office
Of The Junior, by Wedne esday noon of
each week, q short account of the weeks
events. Every week will not have some
big meet, but there are often inter-
class contests and practices for coming
events, which will be of interest to
schools outside your own
This is not something for boys only,
but includes the girls as well.
There is only one condition-the ac-
counts MUST be in by WEDNESDAY
NOON, or they will have to be held till
the following week.
If the plan strikes you as good one
get to work, appoint your reporter and
see that he gets his account In.
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-09
Each School Appoint a Reporter

On page of The Junior this week
you Will see the signed statement OF
the boy mayor, Benjamin Katz, as to
what he and his cabinet have tried to
do during their week OF office. Beyond
their efforts to make the week finan-
cial success and to get new CLUB
house for the Columbia Parks Boys
club, all their efforts have been turned
to getting larger and better accommo-
dat tons for athletic contests and Tor
organized play. Whether or not they
have succeeded remains to be seen,
but they have done their best, and 1t
Is up to every boy and girl to help.
The mayor and the commissioners
were not chosen by outsiders, but by
yourselves They represent the boys
you considered best able to represent
you and look out for your interests.
You wanted them and you had them.
They have done their part. Every
commissioner in the cabinet did his
best to prove that he was just the
person for the place. Whether the
things they tried to get for you are
ever yours rests partly with your
selves. II you didn't want the re-
forms the commissioners have been
working so hard to obtain you are not
the kind of girls and boys the people
Of San Francisco thought you were.
Butt is rather a waste of time to
talk about it, because you ARE the
kind.

ADAMS SCHOOL ATHLETICS
BY MAX LEVY

on Tuesday, April 6, the aggregation
from the Hamilton school met the SO
pound quintet from the Adams school
at the latter's court and were defeated
by 80 to IS. The Hamilton boys out
weighed the Adams very much, but In
spite of this handicap they oyercame
the boys from Geary street by large
score. The game was both interesting
and exciting. Each school had their
rooters to help them out.
Two weeks before this game the
Hamilton boys defeated Adams school
by the score of 27 to lS.
The outlook for the track team Is
exceedingly bright. Aoki, late ar
rival OF Hamilton. strengthens the
team very much. Wand, fast runner,
recently at Spring Valley, now attends
the Adams school. The team is es-
peciany strong in the 80 to IS pound
class.
Baseball is also taking the attention
OF the boys. We have many good
swimmers and will be prepared for the
tournament

SPRING VALLEYS TRACK AND
BALL TEAM
BY GEORGE S. MIEHLING

Last Saturday morning tryouts were
held for running at the park stadium.
All of the little champions were anx-
iously trying out for their classes.
These enthusiasts are trying hard to
win some medals and trophies. Most of
our crack team boys have graduated.
But we have one still, a 95 pound broad
Jumper, Elmer Kerhline. If we are de-
feated in our field sports we are not
discouraged-we take defeat as we do
victory.
Monday we held tryouts for the base
ball team and have a lot of pretty
good players.

SOME WONDERFUL KITES
How to Make Animal Kites
by f. h. BARTHELL,
Head of Manual Training Department


Last Saturday accompanied by Mr.
Daley, Mr.. Dowling and Mr.. Mark of
the San Francisco school department.,
/ attended the Oakland public schools
kite flying exhibition. The affair was
a great success; the number and va
riety Of kites were fairly bewildering,
ranging from the common heXagonal to
the 90 foot dragon.
Some were remarkable for their
beauty, while others were wonderfully
ugly The most unique kite was flown
by small Chinese boy. 1t was a pair
of overalls made of blue tissue paper.
He was assisted in handling it by his
elder sister. his mother and his grand
mother A very startling kite was
large black cat Two eagle kites scared
gracefully decorated with numerous
American flags.
A strange old woman and her pc
cuIiar looking sons did a few high air
feats. The most beautiful kites were
the butterfly and star kites; the wind
being quite strong, the former, unfor-
tunately, had to be furnished with
rather more tail than was necessary
for good looks
The star kites seemed to be, on the
whole, the best and steadiest fiers,
while the dragon and centipede kites
were the hardest to get started.
pital was greatly needed; patches and
paste should be in every kite flyers
supply kit-his pocket.
The Japanese boys were very sue
cessful in making many beautifully
shaped kites, using split bamboo for
the frames
have been asked how to go about
designing animal kites, and suggest a
method.
Draw on sheet OF paper the out
line of the animal as you want II to be,
and of the proper size The next thing
is to design the framework.
There must be one or more principal
sticks and these should be as near the
middle as possible, both up and down
and across. II they are not in the mid
die the weight will not be evenly dis
tributed.
The principal sticks may be arranged
in pairs. In which case they should be
placed at equal distances from the
middle, either across or up and down.
with the principal sticks In place,
other sticks or ribs must extend to the
various parts of the figure or around
it's edge Split bamboo and reed are
very good for making curves, etc.
Figures having what your drawing
teacher calls "bilateral symmetry" are
very easy to frame up. such as butter
flies, beetles, bats, eagles with wings
extended, etc.
A boy at the Horace Mann school and
one at the Crocker are going to enter
