over the idea Of a new league TO buck the
Western league ever since the latter has
been dominated by George Tebeau. The
three Denver papers outside of the Post
are all backing the proposed league and II
would not be u surprise If il were made
a 90. The towns named Tor the league
are Denver. Colorado Springs, Pueblo,
victor, Cheyenne, WyO-. and another yet

said about extending 10 Utah and taking
in Ogden and Salt Lake. but some one
may get such a bug through his head be-
fore long and attempt 20 put IL in force.
Such a scheme, however would be a COM
piete failure as far as Salt Lake is con-
cerned, as there IS not room mere for two
teams and Il is " foregOne conclusion that
Zion is with the Pacific National league
for this year at least. and any attempt
TO put another team in here will surely re-
suit in disaster for the promoters.

Ambitious Automobiles Plan a
Race to Summit of Mt.
Washington.

New York. March 19.-PIans are
gradually being perfected for the great

come u to a required standard will
be allowed TO continue on the second
and deciding day of the ascent. The

to be so. Whatever the result. he in
tended personally and through his
newspapers to support the regular

uttered that plain spoken sentence
he added with a smile:
Il should. OF course, like any other
man, be honored and gratitied should

OF raising money for his expenses was
by subscription. His expenses includ-
ing transportation of his tent. extra
