BUSY WEEK FOR
BALL MAGNATES
FOur.cIub League Now Fully
Organized.
SCRAMBLE FOR PLAYERS ON
OGDEN HAS A LEAD ON OTHER
TEAMS.
SCRAMBLE FOR PLAYERS ON

A FTER weeks of waiting that would
4 try the patience of the most en-
thusiastie fan, a Utah baseball
league is at last an assured fact, and
nothing now remains to hinder the
magnates from going ahead and sign
ing up their players. The fourth team
question is settled by Logan coming
forward with the announcement that
that town would put in a team. Logan
it is thought will make the best town
possible to get into an organization Of
this kind as the people there have
shown in the past that they viii at
tend ball games.
It is understood that this club will
not ask for Sunday games, but viii try
and draw the big crowds on Saturday
In the past they have been able to do
this with amateur teams and the in
PRODUCTION of professional baseball
ought to make the town one of the best
in the state as far as patronage IS con-
cerned.
Park City has been flirting with the
proposed league for the past two weeks,
but failed to send a representative to
the Ogden meeting and was therefore
shut out. Billy West Of that town has
announced that he would put in a team
anyway, and if this is the case Park
City could secure enough games out
side the league to keep them busy dur
ing the season.
Magnate Bergerman Of the newly or
ganized LagOons said last evening that
everything was moving along nicely
with him and that before the end of
another week he would have his team
under way. At the present he is wait
ing to hear from Buck Weaver, who IS
apparently lost somewhere in the sand
hills Of Kansas. BeTgerman has been
unable TO find the famous first base
man by wire. but said last evening that
he would make another attempt tomOr-
row if he did not hear from Buck. In
case Weaver viii not accept the posi-
tion as playing manager Of the team
Bergerman says he has another good
man on the string whom he thinks will.
Magnate Harry Joseph has left on a
trip for the coast. Il is safe to pre-
sumo that Joseph has the list Of a
lot of good ball material given him by
Big Chief BorChers and that he viii
try and sign up some of them for the
salt Lake team. This is the time Of
the year that ball magnates are not in
the habit Of tipping of their hand, and
Joseph is wise enough to keep the play
er question to himself.
Meanwhile foxy Father Gimlin is up
in Ogden saving wood and saying
nothing He made a strong talk at the
meeting to have all existing contracts
with players hold good and it was only
after an hours strong argument that
he brought the rest of the managers
to his way of thinking. In all proba-
hi ty Gimlin has the greater part OF
his team secured and in this he is bet
ter off than any other club i'm the
league. Meanwhile anxious fans
throughout the state are awaiting to
hear the line-ups of the different teams.

In pool, first impressions form no in

Too often one endeavorinS to learn

Bowling.
BOWLING BENEFICIAL.
Doctor Potken Advocates the Sport as
Good Exercise.

Good Exercise.
DR.. Leonard 7. Potken. one of the
most prominent physicians in New
York, and himself an all-around ath-
lete and bowler, has this to say of
bowling; Baseball may be the national
game, but bowling is certainly the ma
tional cold weather game. There is no
better exercise than bowling. It de-
velops more muscles of the body than
any other exercise, except, possibly,
swimming. Bowling trains and develops
the eyesight and also the powers of
calculation and perception. Too many
of our American games and pastimes
develop only the muscles. Man needs
exercise to counteract the effect of too
much brain work, and, as rule, most
sports and pastimes are so devoid of
mental effort that they are almost as
bad as no exercise at all when viewed
from the standpoint of necessary con-
junction to physical and mental devel-
Opment. It requires no effort of the
brain power to swim OF ride a bicycle.
In this connection bowling is the
actual antithesis of any foregoing con-
functions that possibly might otherwise
have been conceived from an allitera-
tive viewpoint. There are only a few
objections to bowling from a conseTva-
tive viewpoint. Bowling tends to de-
velOp the muscles of one side of the
body at the expense of the muscles Of
the other side. In order TO cOunteract
this bOwleTs should give all the exer-
else possible to muscles of the left side
of the body, assuming, of course, that
they are right-handed bowlers.
Another point is the precautionary
necessity of being entirely cooled be
fore going into the open air. Many
cases of pneumonia are caused by bowl
ers rushing out into the cold air while
they are agiOW from the exercise

show has been one of the most sue
cesstUl ever held in Chicago, about
l,Oeo dogs having been on exhibition.

It is stated that because the Inter

its name TO the American Champion

the qualifications for dogs competing
in the annual championship event such
that only winners of state trials can
take part, there is likelihood of

Decoration Dav Road Race

Preparations for the annual Decora-
ton day road race are actively being
pushed. Nearly all the dealers in the
city have promised TO give a bicycle
as a prize. and the outlook for a big
prize list is greater this year than ever.
Efforts viii be made to secure entries
from all over the state, which will give
the riders in the outside towns a
chance to compete with Salt Lake
cyclists. Little training for the event
has been done yet on account of the
poor condition OF the roads.
