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:

APRIL ISSUE OF ITEM
ON SALE AT NOON
Margaret Jamieson and Al¬
fred Wesson New Writ¬
ers; Plenty of Jokes
A day or so late, the much-heralded
April Item will make its appearance
immediately after the perusal of this
announcement.
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¬

lard’s wild throw to first. DeHuff flied to
Millard. Getschine stole third, and came

struck out. Strickland fanned. One run,
1 hit, lerror.

error. Fulton stole second. Schall doubled
to center, scoring Fulton. Millard out,

chine. Two runs, 1 hit, 1 error.

JACK BANGS, EDITOR
OF P.H.S. 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.

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.
