UTAH BOYS MAKE A HIT
King and Samuelson, the "Hobo
Team" Is the Real Thing
Down East.

Perhaps no two bicycle riders before
the eastern cycling public are as much
talked about as Billy Samuelson and Billy
King. These two Salt Lake boys have
succeeded in getting themselves before
the people as perhaps no other riders
have for many days. Without friends or
very much ready cash, the local pair
made the trip east for the purpose Of
riding in the New York six-day race, and
before that contest was two days old
they were the talk Of New York.
Somehow the story got noised about
that Samlelson and King had beat their
way east on freight trains and entered
the long struggle half starved. This is
known to be untrue by their Salt Lake
friends. but nevertheless il made a good
story in print. and the New York papers
devoted columns of space on the Utah
riders.
The t5rm Hobo Team" was given them
and q graphic account of their terrible
sufferings making interesting reading
was worked for all it was worth by east
eTn space writers. While they got no
better than sixth place in this race. yet
the boys received more applause that the
winners themselves

Editors Are on Their Way Toward
Utah
Canadian editors and members OF
their families to the number Of seventy
five are preparing to invade Salt Lake
City within the next two weeks. The
party, consisting Of the Western Can
ada Press association, started out from
ST. Paul yesterday in three special cars
TO spend the remainder Of the month
in a tour of the western states. Motif
fication Of their intention to make their
principal stop in this city has been re
ceived. and President David P. Felt OF
the Utah Press association is prepar-
ing an interesting programme for their
entertainment.
Many of the editors come from the
Alberta district. where there is a large
Mormon population. and all are inter-
ested in the city of Zion. The party
is also very much interested in the
subject of irrigation. because Of con-
ditions at home 70 which the principle
may be proftably applied. and they
will make a study OF irrigation while
here. In this connection efforts are be-
ing made for a trip to the Agricultural
college at Logan. TO enable the visitors
to investigate the scientific endeavors
that are being made locally TO in
crease agricultural prosperity.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
The Intermountain League a Thing
Of the Past.

The Intermountain League Thing
Of the Past.
a week ago the prospects for sue
cessful baseball season were never
brighter and today a gloom o'ershadows
the baseball horizon that cannot be pene-
trated even by the most far-Seeing fan.
The intermountain league that promised
to DO so much for the game in this state
is only passing dream, and with the
death of this league, the fond hopes Of
local promoters have met with an I'M
timely death There were those who
hoped the Short Line road would retreat
from its stand in regard to railroad rates,
but even so il is now too late The Mon
tana towns went over to the Pacific
Northwest league last Friday. and with
them the opportunity of a Utah-MOntana
league has gone for this year at least.
Il is now claimed by several of the di-
rectors of the Salt Lake club that they
will give up the ghost and pass the game
by for this year. Their annual election
comes on the 18th of this month. and the
matter will be definitely decided at that
time.
Should the Salt Lake club take this
stand the future OF the sport is even
worse off than ever. They apparently
do rot wish 10 take such action, but
there seems no other course. Unless
something unlocked for turns up in the
near future nothing but school boy base
ball Will take the place of the many ex-
citing games witnessed at Walkers field
last year.

We have been turning out Of our
factory during the past two months
the finest class Of artificial teeth
(plates), crowns and bridge teeth yet
produced in the state of Utah, at prices
unheard Of in the west for their low
ness. Our ability to create such a stir
in the dental business and throw con-
sternation into the ranks Of the SO
called professional men is the result OF
the happy combination OF the latest
and most approved methods, appliances
and machinery, together with their
proper handling by skilled operators.
We have the largest and most thor
oughly equipped laboratory for doing
all classes Of dental work west Of Chi
caRO.
We do all grades of plate work. con-
tinuous gum work-made entirely Of

gold and ALUMINIUM.
The cheaper kinds are made on plates
Of rubber, and in many cases the latter
prove most satisfactory.
By proper handling very artistic re-
suits may be obtained in even these

FitzsimmOns is not at all disturbed
over Jeffries' offer. FitZsimmons re-
fused to accept ii. He said that he
did not have $50. 900 to bet. and I'm
view of the fact that Jeffries had been
talking about splendid Inducements, he
was convinced that the champion and
Delaney were both using him as an
advertising bluff.
Il have no $4,000 to bet on any
fight" said Fitzsimmons; "Jeffries has
repeatedly said he wanted to fight me
first. From Delaney's outburst, now
believe it was mere talk. I will be
glad to meet Jeffries any time he is
ready 10 talk sense"
Here is Delaney's formal statement:
Il don't want to have anything to
do with Fitzsimmons. He doesn't want
to fight-he only wants advertising. If
he was too modest to go into a saloon
to talk business, ne is too good to
fight.
What does Fitz mean by induce
ments? He always got the best end
of every fight he was ever in. He got
nearly all the money by his iron-ciad
contract in our last fight, and we won.
THE generous offer I make him is
! this:
"Jeffries will fight Fi,zsimmons, win
ner take all, and will bet any amount
/ from $25, 900 to $4,000 in good American
money-nOt Australian money-that

! Here is what Fitzsimmons says in
reply:
in answer to Delaney's TRADE
against me, I have this % say:
when the Horton law went out OF
/ existence I retired from the ring.
After Jeffries' fight with Rubin he
filled the newspapers with challenges
and offers to me. In his flight across
1 the continent he repeatedly named ms

Il frankly confess 1 have no $50. OO

If Mr.. Jeffries at any time desired

him. 1 don't intend to be drawn int,

Roosevelt's Change of Plans.
Chicago Chronicle)


President Roosevelt did not go down the
Potomac with his wife and children be-
cause he had too much business to look
after al the White House. He has found.
as all his predecessors found before him,
that being president means sixteen work
ing hours each day and only as much
sleep and recreation as can be obtained in
the other eight hours. II was his am
bition to establish a new routine. He
wanted to keep his doors open. to receive
the public at all times, TO be a president
different from ali other presidents. He
carried out his plan up TO the time con-
gress met and then had to abandon il.
While he is capable of performing an i'm
mense amount of work, Of mastering the
thousand details which necessarily are
passed up 10 him for decision by depart
ment chiefs, in shorter time than any man
who has been in the White House during
the past twenty-five years. he found him
self at the beginning of the holiday re-
cess OF congress fairly overwhelmed with
business which he had not time to dis
pose Of while congress was in session.
He hopes to get rid of il during the re-
cess, Probably ne viii succeed. inasmuch
as he has practically abandoned public re-
ceptions until congress reassembles.
