WHY NOT BE "soosTERs"7

L that the cooperative two-club
baseball league, composed of Salt Lake
and Ogden, will meet with a larger
measure of success than the four-club
league which not long since Joined the

because some knockers" who labored
under the delusion that they We're doing
something smart, insisted on criticising
the playing without regard to reason
or rhyme.
There is something radically wrong
with a man who condemns his home
team unless he has every warrant for
doing so. Even then his reproofs
should be gentle, his chastisements
mild. The true baseball patriot is the
man who roots for his nine at all
times and under ali circumstances.
That is what makes good baseball; that
is what winssgames.
The great trouble has been that a
certain clique of Salt Lakers expected

COLONEL T. FITCH AGAIN.

TODAY'S DISPATCHES throw some
more light on the doings of Colonel
T. Fitch in relation to Marcus island.
The colonel tells about an armed expo
dition that has been started for the
island for the purpose of driving away
the Japs who now possess it and to
raise the American flag. In case ia
panese war vessel is encountered, the
Fitch forces will raise the flag anyway
unless they are physically restrained
1t will be noted that I. Fitch is lot

though he is, the colonel thinks too
much of T. Fitch to be willing to place
him in jeopardy. Therefore, he viii

atorship here a trifie more than a year
ago, but if he doesn't meet with more
success on Marcus island than he did
in Utah he'll be able to bangle all his
