PACIFIC COJAST
spams of
INTEREST
(Ry Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 10.—
Tennis players of the Pacific coast
are one in commending the action of
the National Lawn Tennis association
in its proposed restoration of cham
pionship in the future. It is felt that
considerable hasty action was taken
when the country was first plunged
into the war which more mature re
flection will show to have been inad
visable.
With the elimination of champion
ship events, it is felt that the princi
pal incentive and objective of players
is removed and that interest in the
game had suffered accordingly. This
in turn, it is urged, will have its
effect on the future of the game.
Reconsideration of the action tak
•en, in discontinuing various lines of
sport has been going on in various
parts of the country. Army and navy
officials headed by no less than their
commander in chief, the president of
the United States, have come out
with the assertion that athletics
should be continued for the welfare of
the younger men who soon may be
called to the colors and that they
should not be deprived of the body
building enjoyed by tbeir elders.
A man interested In professional
boxing has estimated that, as a result
of the draft, at least one thousand
men who formed part of the regular
attendance at the boxing shows held
in San Francisco no longer contribut
ed to the box office returns. As the
average audience comprises between
-- --■-LJli-«
two and three thousand spectators in
normal times, the loss of from one
half to a third of the "regulars” has
put a serious nick in the financial re
turns of the promoters. As a result
the staging of these shows has been
considerably curtailed.
While the Olympic club of San
Francisco is proud of the manner in
which its athletes have responded to
the call of the country for men to the
various branches of army and navy
service, the members are wondering
what kind of a figure they will cut in
future competition, as a result.
Every line of sport has been af
fected. Probably its severest individ
ual loss is Norman Ross, the swim
mer, who holds half a dozen records
including both world’s and national '■
figures. Football has contributed the
greatest number of fighters to the
nation so that the club’s Rugby, soc
cer and American teams have been
reduced to mere skeletons with prac
tically all the best players missing.
Reports from various parts of the
I country indicate, however, that prac
tically the same conditions prevail in 1
i
all of the larger organizations and
this is borne out by the fact that re-1
ports of games and sports held on the'
athletic fields of the various military]
cantonments largely are made up of
the names of club and university
stars.
W ith the decision of the University
of California and Standford univers
ity not to put eight oarded varsity
| crews next spring on the water, col-^
leges of the northwest are considering
the pros and cons of the matter. With|
the death of Coach Coniber of the
University of Washington and the lack
of enthusiasm in a number of the con
ference institutions, it appears that
the sport will have a hard time com
ing into its own next spring if indeed,
it does at all.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 10.—A to
tal of 28,168 boys and girls from the
high schools of California were en
gaged in productive industries dur
ing the summer vacation, according
to a report made public here today by
Will C. Wood, state commissioner of
secondary schools. Of this number
15,302 worked in the fields and or
chards.
“The records show the high school
pupils responded nobly to the nation’s
call for labor during the harvest sea
son,” Commissioner Wood said.
“The boys are deserving of special
commendation. Our statistics show
that seventy per cent of them enroll
ed in the high schools worked during
the summer”
Since the reopening of the high
schools there has been a marked ten
dency, especially in the large cities
where industries offer many oppor-'
t unities for gainful occupations, on
'he part of the pupils to leave school
to accept positions after having en
rolled, the report said. Eighty one
high schools in the state have re-|
ported instances of this nature.
In summarizing labor conditions
during the harvest season Commis
sioner Wood's report said that 167
high school districts reported a short-'
age of labor during the summer and
that there was a serious shortage of
harvest hands in 46 districts. Ninety
schools postponed the date of opening
because of a pressing need for stu
dent labor. At Calistoga the opening
was delayed nine weeks and there
was a postponement of six weeks at
Lodi, both districts are in vineyard
sections of Napa county.
A drive to encourage food produc
tion by high school pupils and to en
list a large number of pupils for har
vest work next summer was in
augurated January 1 by the student’s
Working reservlce organized last
spring by the state board of education.
ORANGE TREE
(By Associated Press;
RIVERSIDE, Cal., Jan. 10.—The
original Washington navel orange
tree, planted hefre forty-four years ■
ago, producer of the first navel or
anges grown in the United States and
parent of millions of trees now growr
ing in California, is believed to be
dying. Horticultural experts have be
gun efforts to diagnose the disease
that threatens it in the hope of pro
longing its life.
This tree, the most noted in the
citrus industry of the state, came or
iginally from Bahia, Brazil, it was
planted here in 1872 by Mrs. C. L.
Tibbets who obtained it from the bo
tanical gardens in Washington.
