Thirteen events will he run off. Qualifying heats were held at Compton Wednesday afternoon with lnglewood and Huntington Park showing best.

The Spartans also did well In the A. A. preseason carnivals and the Orange Bhow relays at San Bernardino. Compton is dreaded by a majority of the circuit coaches, while Santa Monica la rated a dark horse, as it was last year. The Samohians kept all their track statistics secret, as far as was possible, in 1924, and.

surprised all opponents with a sweeping victory in the league finals. While five places will be counted In each event, only four medals will be given out. The will bn five, three, two, one, and one-half point. Among the schools contesting will be Santa Monica, Venice, Compton, lnglewood, Huntington Park, Wllmjngton, Torrance. Kedondo, Lomlta, Oar-dena and San Pedro.

Officials will be Kinten Hamilton, referee; Kdward Solomon, starter; C. S. Welsrnann, scorer; Fred Johnson, clerk of course, and A. H. Hadenoch, chief judge of finish.

The only record believed in danger is that of the relay, which was established In 19S3 by Banta Monica. LA BARB A AND BROWN DRAW (Continued from Eleventh Page) (turned into a veritable tiger in the ring last night and gave Jo P2-tiienthal one of the most complete and severe lacings ever administered at Hollywood, finally knocking him out In the fourth round, galas was all over the ring, landing three blows to the more experienced Pimenthal'8 one. And they all carried a message behind them. Salas carries dynamite In either hand. He had Pimenthal on tb.e floor twice In the first round, once for nine in the third and once for one in the fourth just before he caught Joe with terrific right-hand smash to the Jaw and the latter called it a day or night.

Johnny Gerarden had Ralph Downs down most of the time and finally, gave hm a pass to the land where fairies live in the fourth round. Both men fought hard and went strong, but Gerarden was a shade too tough for Downs. The latter deserves a lot of credit for his game exhibition, however, Mickey Gill won from Young Polo on a foul In the third round. Polo didn't know much about boxing, but he used his head and so lost on a foul. Holly Mermen Trample Over VenetianTeam Clyde Swendsen'e Hollywood High School swimming team won all but three firsts in a dual meet with' Venice High School at the Hollywood Athletic Club yesterday, and thereby handed the Venetians a 53-to-33 beating.

He won two events and made the best mark recorded this yeaf in the plunge for distance, stopping at 67 1-2 Ray Denlaon, handsome Hollywood sprint star, won his two events without much trouble and Hamilton of Venice. also chalked up two victories.

SOCCERITES TOT MINGLE Mercury Eleven to Meet Hollywood A. C. in Feature Match Tomorrow What la to followers of the kicking game the biggest thing in eocccr Is on Up at Loyola park tomorrow afternoon when Hollywood A.C. clashes with the Los Angeles Athletic Club soccer eleven In the final of the Spalding perpetual trophy competition. Tho combination of a cup final and the two athletic clubs as tho contenders makes the offering one of the best that could bp offered to local fandoni, and It is expected they will show their appreciation by turning out In large numbers.

Kerry, the Vnl-vci'hal star, who Is scheduled to kick off the ball at 3 o'clock will set In motion a game that promises to eclipse anything that has been seen In tho local park this season. The contenders are composed of the best soccer talent obtainable and fit to stack up against tho best In the land. With everything at stake on the one game, thejr may bo expected to atct a fast pace, and furnish thrills aplenty that will pull the spectator out of his seat The contenders are reported in fine physical condition and each will take the field at maximum strength. There will be no alibis offered for defeat, aid while each hopes for vie. tory, neither Is taking the other lightly.

They are familiar with the punch that each is capable of developing, and have a healthy regard for It. Reference to the league rec- ordfi discloses that while the league champions, the L.A.A.C. have the better goal record, the Hollywood squad has to Its credit one win over the Mer-curlans. In the other two games In which these teams met the result was a tie. On this basis, the odds may be considered as slightly in favor of the Moviemen.

Preceding the big game, the Scots ami Vikings will clash in a friendly match starting at i p.m. Tiicse teams should provide a suitable appetizer for the main event and will undoubtedly draw a goodly crowd.

He has been surfeited with uch laudatory reports of the running ability of the Sherman School Indian runners that he appears to be wond i whether ft i world laurels are in jeopardy. IT Gt'jlu flatly that he was not prepared to announce definitely the distance of his longest race in Los Angeles. Ha giVe several reasons for his inability to reach a decision. "Before I decide on the distance to be traversed, I want to get better information on the prowess of these Indians," he said.

"I have heard much about California and I have never been out there and the- climatic conditions will have something to do in the formulation of my decision. "Because of the rigid nature of my tour. I have no wish to overmatch myself the West. It these Indians are accustomed to the heat and are conditioned for a five-mile race, I may decide on the three-mile route. "I have made up mv mind thitt I will not announce my decision until I reach Los Angeles.

I have heard that the Los Angeles Coliseum track is something different than any to which I am accustomed. A thorough inspection of that track will be made by me before I go on record as to the distance that I am going to select." Nurml, Willie Ritola and Willie Plant were the star performers nt the State Fair Hippodrome here Wednesday night before an audience of more than 7500.

boxing circles that Ned flolden, Southern California bantam weight champion, will have an exceedingly busy time Thursday night as a main eventer with Mike Wat- ters Golden is so good that he has had things pretty much his own way but Watters is likely to make the going pretty hard and certainly fast. George Blake picked a pair that promises action every moment. Mike won the right to meet Ned several weeks ago when he got a decision over the clever August Gotto. who has since become the national champion, and if he maintains his speed and keeps that right hand on the job there should he plenty of excitement In this bout. Anybody who faces Golden has a real scrap to go through and must travel.

At the present time Riverside High and Chaffey Union have been given the edge, but the other three schools, Pomona, Red-lands and San Bernardino, have placed strong teams in the field, and are likely to spill old man dope for a big count. Perhaps the reason that Riverside has been picked by many Is on account of the brilliant work of Fatton in the weights.

Akers in the sprints and in the distance, events. Ijist year Pat-ton placed in the all-southerrl and State meets, while Carnahan won the mile In the all-State and placed second In the half.

Edinger is capable of doing better than twenty-two feet In the broad Jump. and if he can get one of his long nops on Saturday another league record will pass.

With a well-balanced team the San Bernardino Cardinal and Black squad will be among the top squads at the finish. Don Srrry. the win ner of this year's tri-county meet In the high jump at 6ft. 11 has been doing 6ft. 2in.
