BASEBALL Saturday — Pasadena vs. Long Beach, there. on Poly fiield. Be 4l\s VOL. V— NO. 11 PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL, MAY 2, 1917, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA P.H.S. TRACKMEN COP SECOND PLACE IN BIC STATE TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP AT BERKELEY Captain Jacomini’s Mercuries Forced to Be Content With Second Honors; Coaling a Takes Meet; L. A. Poly¬ technic and Manual Arts Wopped; Reeves Shows Real Class in the Mile Run By J. HOWELL SMITH (Dope and Results Compiled by Royal Wilke, Special Sport Correspondent.) HOW THEY FINISHED Coalinga 25, Pasadena 17, Sac¬ ramento 15, Redlands 14, Los An¬ geles Poly 12, Manual Arts 11, Berkeley 9, Chaffey 7, Oakland 7, Ventura 5, Fillmore 5, Fullerton 5, Modesto 4, Hollywood 3, Tamal- pais 3, Red Bluff 2, Ukiah 2, Lin¬ coln 2; Chico, Compton, Fresno, Jackson, Palo Alto, Santa Monica 1 each. In a contest resulting in the set up of many new records, phenomenal times and surprising distances, the Bulldog Trackmen copped second honors and proves themselves not lacking in the recent Track and Field Carnival held on the Berkeley Oval. Coalinga administered the locals’ downfall and captured the meet with a total of 25 points. Redlands and Manual, the touted entries of the Southland, rolled up fewer points than dope experts figured. The former placed fourth and Manual could ac¬ quire but sixth honors. Barring Coal¬ inga, Sacramento was the only north¬ ern school to make a showing. They placed third in the whole meet with 15 points. The meet was a big affair and some 37 Northern, Central and Southern in¬ stitutions entered men in the contest. All in all the Southern athletes made a grand invasion, 35 of them placing and capturing around 50 digits out of the entire struggle. The days’ events brought forth many surprises for track fans and oodles of unexpected victories and de¬ feats resulted. Probably the most sur¬ prising incident of the whole affair was the defeat of Charles Paddock in the 100 yard dash. This was the first time in his running history that he had ever been trimmed in the century and his defeat came as quite a blow to the Southerners. A poor start himself and the failure of the starter to set back Melville and another for jump- wing, are conceded to be the causes of his ill-luck. At that Charles was only inches behind the leading man on hitting the tape? People in the bleach¬ ers went wild during this event which was the most thrilling by far of any during the entire afternoon. Melville, the conquerer of the local phenom, was forced to do nothing short of ten flat. The Bulldog sprinter has often equaled that mark and once even low¬ ered it, although the time was unoffi¬ cial. This beating acted only as an added incentive for speed in the furlong event and Charles stepped off the 220 yards in State record time, 22 seconds flat. In this he won out by an easy eight yards, . proving his superiority to any speed-demon Northern or Southern entered in the meet. The mile run, like all other races of the day, was a fast affair and Whit Reeves came to the front as the best miler in the State. He won the race by a big lead over Swan and Frost, who beat him out in the Southern Cal. This conclusively proved that it was merely hard luck that lost him his race in the South. For the first year in running togs it is to be considered some accomplishment to take a race iE> the State Carnival. But this Whit did and not only won but won by a big margin. Iditchell performed the duty as¬ signed by placing in the discus throw. Dick made some mighty heaves but was accorded only fourth place. The competition was too strong and many of the throws of his competitors equaled or beat the previous State record. Dick is also a new man at the track game and is surely to be con¬ gratulated on his nifty sailing of the plate. The relay was one of the fastest in the history of State Carnivals. Poly’s speedy aggregation held the pole from the start and the Crown City men were unable to overcome the lead. However they placed a close second and only three or four yards separat¬ ed the straining Mechanic from Pad- dock at the end of the last lap. The local crew was composed of Wilkie who tore off a fast initial lap, Bedall whose short legs lost nothing, Wright of longer limb but of no less speed and Paddock. The first three men from Poly were fast and had acquired a good lead before the baton reached Charles, who lessened the lead many yards. Had there been a few more places to run, Pasadena would have undoubtedly finished with first honors. Coalinga came in third and Modesto placed fourth. It was a half mile run. Next to the 100 yards, probably the most sensational race of the meet was the 880 yard dash. The first lap was run at almost a 440 yard clip and the last showed little weakening on the part of the leaders. Saunders ran a wonderful race, but as in other cases too much competition was the reason for his not placing in the money. At that he came in fifth and ran the legs off the man in front of him to keep that coveted position. Here is hut an¬ other case of Pasadena’s freshly re¬ cruited speedsters making a fine show¬ ing. The fact that so many of the Bulldog stars are but beginning their careers on the track is a great boost to the unequaled coaching they have had from Coach Main and Mr. Carson. The 120 yard high barriers was also a phenomenal event, being executed in 16-1 sec. Captain Jacomini, the Pasadena obstacle man, took his heat easily but because of a bad start failed to place. Neverthel ^s he ran a good race and pushed the honor men to the limit. Johnston of Fullerton, who nosed out Jacomini in the South¬ ern Cal., again won the race and Henderson of Oakland took second. In the quarter mile, Isenhouer, the Lincoln dark horse, led the race until the last 180 yards, then dropped back to fifth place. He was unable to cope with the sprints that his rivals had left to finish on. This was a fast race and Seltzer of Redlands High took the honors. This meet ends the track season and until 1918 the local athletes can throw their abbreviated costumes in their lockers and plan on bringing the Championship into the South next year. The final results were as follows: TRACK EVENTS 100 yard dash — First heat — Won by Strong (Red Bluff) ; Hazellebach (Fresno) 2nd. Time, 10 2-5 seconds.

Beginning with the highly ornament¬ al and decorative cover one passes through pages of literature and art supplemented by jokes of the most flagrantly personal flavor. Charming stories with decidedly original themes by Margaret Jamieson and Alfred Wesson head the list of attractions, followed by Ralph Hosier and Lyle Hance whose side-splitting serio-comic travesties on human nature are guar¬ anteed to produce apoplexy in an un¬ dertaker. Who’s who? is the cry. You’ll find some famous cognomens in this array of genius and beauty, likewise some people not so well known with whom better acquaintance is greatly to be desired. Jokes, bon-mots, quips and extrava¬ ganzas of all varieties, varying from the kind an Englishman is able to ap¬ preciate to the most subtle of Mr. Burgin’s remarks, literally permeate the pages of this remarkable issue. All those who have unwittingly passed the Item by, MAY, by making a wild and unceremonious dash Wynn- wards, obtain one of the precious cop¬ ies and so obtain for themselves an evening of unadulterated enjoyment. COMMISSIONER LYON LEAVES TO ENTER FORESTRY SERVIGE W. Parker Lyon, Jr., Commis¬ sioner of Athletics and one of the most popular members of P. H.S., has left Pasadena to serve Uncle i Sam in the San Bernardino Forest Reserve. Parker left here May 1st to immediately take up his duties, but will return in June to graduate. As yet the commission has not decided whether to ap¬ point a successor or to continue with four members. Since his entrance into P. H. S. your years ago, Lyon has been prominent in many school activi¬ ties, this year having efficiently served on the student commission. He has always taken an active in¬ terest in athletics, having man¬ aged the 1915 State Championship eleven, and having played soccer and basketball for two years. His loss will be felt keenly by the whole school and especially by the Senior Class of which he was a conspicuous member. LATIN STUDENTS WILL ROLD FORTH NEXT FRIDAY Latin, Party? Sure thing. Anybody who has ever studied Latin knows that the ancient Romans were always strong for the high and merry times. This party will surely be a hummer, for officials of the Latin Club have been working day and night to pre¬ pare a party that would make an old Roman green with envy if only be could be present. Yes, all this is true. Some time ago members of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Latin classes received in¬ vitations printed on neat little scrolls, just like the old Romans used to send. The following were the contents: Comites Romani, vobis sal: Nos e vobis rogamus ut annua hilaritate adsitis in musico atrio die quarto ante monis mais in media primae vigaliae, Romanus ornatus. For the benefit of those who might not he able to translate the invitation it may be said that the party will be held in the Music Hall on Friday, May 4th, at the middle of the first watch (half-past seven). Latin will not be spoken during the whole evening; but one of the start¬ ling features will be the costumes worn. Everybody will be dressed in the costumes of the ancient Romans. LONG BEACHITES WOP PASADENA MEN BY 7 TO 6 Wild and Wooly Game Ends With Beachmen on Long End of the Score Return Game to Be Played on Poly Field Next Sat¬ urday P, M. By WOODWARD In a wildly exciting exhibition of the national pastime the Pasadena ball team last Saturday came out on the short end of a 7 to 6 score in a game with their beloved rivals, Long Beach, on the latter’s diamond. Coming from behind in the eighth only to lose out again and almost repeating the come¬ back in the ninth, the Bulldogs made the game a ' thriller from start to finish. The ineffectiveness of Webster in the early innings and the blow-up of Hunnicut in the eighth were re¬ sponsible for Pasadena’s defeat as Schall hurled a good brand of ball and was unsolvable until the latter part of the contest. Rain threatened throughout the entire game and al¬ though the downpour never came it served to put both teams on edge to get the lead. Webster started the game for Pasa¬ dena, but was taken out in the fourth with the score four to one against him. Hunnicut entered the game and stopped the hitting only to blow up at the crucial moment in the eighth. Long Beach had their batting eyes with them and while only six hits were garnered these included a dou¬ ble, a triple, and a home run, all de¬ livered at the time when they would do the most harm. Schall, Long Beach pitcher, was the batting star of the day, a single, a double and a home run out of four attempts being the re¬ sult of his efforts with the hickory. The story of Pasadena’s offense de¬ tails an uphill struggle all the way. In the eighth, when two runs behind, the team arose and brought across three markers only to lose their lead in the latter half of the same inning. Again in the ninth after two men were out they scored one run and with the tying run on second Peddicord hit a terrific smash which looked good for the winning hit. Unfortunately it was directed at the shortstop and he man¬ aged to get the ball to first a step ahead of the speeding left fielder, thus ending a heart-rending contest. The Pasadena batters hit the ball hard throughout the game but showed a tendency toward hitting the spheroid up in the air which proved fatal. Dou¬ bles by DeHuff, Peddicord and Mc- Nabb featured the last two innings. The game play by play is as follows: FIRST INNING Pasadena — McNabb out, Schall to Wil¬ liams. Peddicord popped to Schall. Bur¬ ton out, Schall to Williams. No runs, no hits, no errors. bong Beach — Murphy popped to Strick¬ land. Lawson grounded to Getschine. Luckey fanned. No runs, no hits, no errors.

GHRONIGLE IS A HARD WORKER One fellow, who for the past two years has been one of the most consistent workers on the Chronicle, and who lately was appointed Editor, after the resig¬ nation of Herbert Popenoe, Is Jack Bangs. Steadily he worked his way from reporter to City Ed¬ itor and then Managing Editor, where he proved his real worth as a leader of students and as a man¬ ager of a news machine. It caused no surprise, when he was appoint¬ ed Editor of the Pasadena Chron¬ icle. Jack is a quiet, hard-working fellow, who never says much but works instead. He has many ideas and added improvements, which he hopes to try on the Chronicle before the year is finished, and if he improves the paper propor¬ tionately as he has done in the past, the Pasadena Chronicle will be some paper. COMMERCIAL CLUB TO j GIVE FREE TICKETS TO STUDENTS Sell Ten Season Tickets to Chautauqua in Order to Get Free Ticket Through the co-operation of the j Junior Board of Trade with the man-| agement of the Ellison- White Chau-i tauqua which is coming to Pasadena I next week, any student of P. H. S has a chance to get a season ticket to the Chautauqua without any cost whatever. The regular price of season tickets is two dollars and a half, but a special rate of a dollar and a half has been made to students and teach¬ ers. In addition any person selling ten season tickets will receive free of charge a season ticket. The low rate of one dollar and a half for over thirty entertainments, lectures, and concerts, should make the task of selling tickets very easy indeed. If the regular admission were paid at each program, the cost would amount to about seven dollars and a half. The admission to the last con¬ cert and any other entertainment would in themselves equal the price of a season ticket. Information about selling tickets may be obtained at the Junior Board of Trade rooms. As to the Chautauqua itself, one glance at the program is enough to convince any skeptic of its value. No pains or money have been spared to give the Chautauqua patrons the very best of entertainment. Southern California News Service SAN DIEGO H. S. — First plans were laid last week on the great Unique Annual of June, 1917. It will contain 22 pages, numerous color plates, and an abundance of purely original ideas. The cost will range closely about $1. Southern California News Service SAN DIEGO H. S. — Twenty-three Hilltoppers answered the call to arms at this school, and have departed for the front. Eleven members of the S. D. H. S. faculty applied for com¬ missions in the Officers Reserve Training Corps. Those of the students who have been called will receive their credits, which will “reos.” Southern California News Service SAN DIEGO H. S _ The Fortnightly, a club composed of some twenty-four of the S. D. H. S. faculty, has signified its intention of hiring several acres of land, upon which they expect t oraise potatoes.

PRICE 5 CENTS Students Soon to Vote for Student Body Commis¬ sion of 1917-18 PRIMARIES ON MAY 11 Election to Be Held Two Weeks From Friday; Can¬ didates Working Hard An event of the year is approaching that is so important to the red blood¬ ed people who belong to the Student Body, that the presidential election is tame in comparison. This mighty event is the election of those who will be the guiding stars of destiny for P. H. S — the Commissioners. The election is to be held on May 18, two weeks from next Friday. Already have the friends of those aspiring to office started their campaigns, the first step being to secure at least fifty sig¬ natures of qualified voters. All of these petitions must be in the hands of Harold Perkins, clerk of the Stu¬ dent Body, by this Friday so as to give time for the checking and print¬ ing of the ballots. Then come the primaries on May 11, one week before the final election. After the primaries the usual assem¬ bly will be held, at which the two candidates for each office will exhibit their persuasive powers in public. Of course it is generally believed that there are no gentle grafters here, but for the sake of a few ambitious ones, a warning is given not to entice any one to sign his name to a petition for the receiving of a perfectly good nickel. Also those who are not mem¬ bers of the select 800 are requested to refrain from participating in the elec¬ tion. And a warning is even given that no one is supposed to attach his or her name more than once to the petition for the same office. If these things are done ail his labor goes for nought, being null, void and conse¬ quently of no effect. Freshmen! Watch your step. This will be your first opportunity to wield the club of franchise. Do not vote for a person because an older classman tells you to. Find out for yourself. See if he is the one for the job. Has he ever done anything that would merit him equal to this office which takes a big man to fill? Or is he going to fill the office by bluff and his name? Go to it, Freshmen, elect a man whom you know is capable to manage the affairs of a big high school. As this election determines to a great extent the success of P. H. S. next year, it is the imperative duty of every loyal supporter of the Red and White to take enough interest in the election to go to the polls at both elec¬ tions and see that the right people are elected. Not only is it a duty, but it also should be cherished as a great privilege to have a share in the great democracy of Pasadena High School. FOURTH ANNUAL MAY FESTIVAL CONCERT NEXTJIDAY To Give Concert Under Di¬ rection of Mr. Parker; Solos Will Feature Orchestra Will Show Devel¬ opment of Past Year on Friday This Friday a rare treat is in store for Pasadlena High.
