Fleet of 2f War Vessels I'm Review at
san Pedro.
Los Angeles, Nov. THE roar OF
big naval guns announced today the
review of the Pacific fleet on the other
side of the continent The fleet, "a
ships in all, with two submarines, ar
rived off Los Angeles harbOr before
dawn and, when the mists lifted, day
light revealed one of the greatest ag-
gregations of warships ever assembled
on the Pacific. The great sea fight
ers stretched from a point opposite
San Pedro to Long Beach, seven miles
away.
Conspicuous in the quietly swaying
line was the famous old warrior Ore
gon. refurbished and given a family
resemblance to her younger sisters by
the big military mast arising above her
real battleship-heavily armed and
armored-among all the "a large ves-
sells, and the old ship was the center
of interest for the party OF guests in
vited by Secretary Meyer TO accom-
pany Admiral Thomas on his tour OF
review. The reviewing vessel was the
little gunboat Nicksburg.
After bringing the fleet up from
San Diego Admiral Thomas trans
ferred command of the fleet to Rear
Admiral Switzerland. At 12:45 o'clock
the review began. The fleet was ma
neuvered into four lines forming "a
paraIlelogram, the four corners OF
which We're marked by the cruiser
West Virginia, flagship of the second
division, the destroyer Whipple. the
submarine Pike and submarine Gram
pus.
Thousands of persons visited the
harbor and lined the shore when the
first salute announced that the review
had begun. Every ship was dressed.
Flags broke out everywhere and there
was a continuous roar of ordnance as
the little Vicksburg steamed up and
down the steel walled lines of war
ships.
The Vicksburg paused first abreast
of the Whipple and the destroyer's
rapid fire weapons barked out the first
salute of 13 guns. Next in line were
the destroyers Truxton. Hopkins and
Hull. the torpedo boat Rowan and the
submarine Grampus, which, later, after
the formalities of the review had been
concluded. performed, Ia company
with the Pike, aquatic feats which the
official guests likened to the frolic-
some antics of porpoises. They dived
and sped around under water like
great fish and sent shivers down the
spines of watchers appearing suddenly
on one side Of the Vicksburg, then
vanishing and appearing on the other
The second lines was made up Ad-
miral Thomas flagship, California, the
cruisers South Dakota, Maryland and
Colorado, the transport Buffalo and
the supply ship Glacier. The Oregon
was the second ship in the third line
coming next to the West Virginia.

trouble. Parsley and Wilkinson have
been busy as bees getting men for their
teams and have succeeded In signing
some of the best men in the city.
Some fans have expressed their opin-
ion that Bill Burley is the best fielding
pitcher in the league, basing their opin-
ion on the fact that Burley had seven
difficult chances without an error in
fridays contest. Whether or not Bill
is deserving of the honors which the
fans have given him is a question, but
1t can be said that Lefty" Holden, or
ST. Martin, gives him hard rub for
the honor.
