SAN MATEO, April 25.-Now that
Iilllsborough has become a reality and
is out of the reach of grasping bust
ness communities, San Mateo is pre-
pairing to annex what is left of the
outlying districts, and with this end in
view, the hoard of trustees has called
an election for next Monday, when the
proposition of anneXing Hayward park
and East San Mateo will be submitted
to the people.
The incorporation of Hillsborough
Will prevent the further growth of
San Mateo in westerly direction. Bur-
lingame is on the north and the waters
of the bay on the east of San Mateo.
Consequently the town council has
attacked the only remaining point of
the compass and will attempt to annex
in that direction before the residents
of the southern districts get the popu-
lar idea of an independent city

San Francisco BOYS are suffering today be-
cause of The thoughtless and perhaps sinful
negligence of The passing generation.
Our bovs haven't had half a chance. 1t
has been too much mental training and too lit
lie physical training. Their defeat isn't their
fault It's the fault of those pho should have
prepared them for victory.
Let haze no more paid professional
coaches. Give the athletes of the high schools
trained physical directors TO bring them out
of anp such moral degeneration as has cpi-
dcnced itself in the present athletic slough
they are found in.
The San Francisco high school boys de-
featcd at the meet held at Stanford are the
pictins, NOT The pdnquished. Until their posi-
ton is recognized and the school athletic sys-
tenn rcorganizcd NE may look for repeated
defeats.
There has been a shameful neglect Of the
boy. He's been pushed aside in the COM
nlercidl life of the great city to maize may for
factories, which are nom built oper his spin,-
ming beach. and buildings which have been
erected on the old diamond This isn't the
citp of 20 pears ago. Our swimming holes
and beaches, ball grounds and empty lots
have been taken dwap from our children
Nom NE haze TO buy them back or let the
boy degenerate physically.

AGAINST PAID COACHES

President Piexotto of the Pacific
athletic association, in surveying the
situation, makes fiat declaration
against the paid professional coach,
and insists that all the high schools
in the city should have regular salaried
physical instructors to train the stu
dents and to prepare them for the
tests and trials of the field meets IN
which they. have met so many defeats.
I'VE must have no more paid profes-
sional coahces. They send the boys in
tired with spectacular training ana
stale in their events. We want system
attic development so that our boys Will
not be spurred besond their endurance
at the last moment. We should recog-
nize the weaknesses of our high schools
in the matter of athletics and endeavor
to remedy them" said he. In the same
strain were the remarks of Mary w.
Kincaid of the board of education.
Both President Humphrey of the
Olympic club and Secretary Hickey OF
the Fairgrounds commission lay great
stress on the necessity of public baths.
This isn't the San Francisco of 20
years ago. The commercial develop
ment of the city has brushed the boy
aside and the swimming holes and base
ball fields we used to know when we
were boys are lost to our smaller
brothers and sons. The factories have
taken their beaches and soiled their
swimming hole and their empty lots
are now covered with buildings. If
necessary we must buy them back and
give the rising generation a chance.
OF course they will be defeated in a
contest like that of Saturday We
should watch Boston and New York in
this regard and accept few sug-
gestions," said Humphrey when seen
at his office yesterday. He and Secre-
| tary, who is also a member OF the
Olympic club, have both discussed the
! play grounds plans of the city at con-
siderable extent. ''Of course, there is
much that one can say on the subject
of physical training for the schools.
am heartily in favor of physical direc-
tors in each and every high school in
the city and am an apostle of the play
ground idea and movement. Our boys
will always be defeated until they are
given a chance to develop the latent
energy they have within them. Until
we help them we can expect repeated
] defeats" said Hickey.
