Will soon TALK BASEBALL.
Football Season Is About mt an End for
The Year 1904.

Aner Thanksgiving day there viii be
little doing IN football circles locally
Baseball fans win then begin TO talk
Of their fayorIie paatIme. and wonder
what WIN be doing next season.
For several years we have en-
phaszol tto Importance Of making an
early start IN baseball and get things
agoin' before the other fellows start
II Is necessary to have a winning team
to lay plans carefully az an early date
and get a corner on an the good men
available. Had this been done last
season, Salt Lake would not have fin
lshed at the tail end The other teams
got ahead OF u.s. They were we'll or
ganlzed and practising before we knew
who would cover third corner or play
short stop, This should not be. The
time to make preparations is now.
Salt Lake holds position In the
Pacific National baseball league, and
unless something unforeseen happens,
vii have team IN next years league.
The clrcu, may be enlarged, but
whether Il Is or no. this city should
make better showing than II has ever
done. There is no good reason why
we should be behind In the sport. 1t
does not cost the local magnates any
more than IL costs others to get to-
gether "A good team Charley Reilly
has been retained to manage the team
for Salt Lake, and we b elieve that ne
VIII begin TO do things IN short or
der. If he does, Salt Lake should
have a winnlg team.

FENCING IS FASHIONABLE.
Newport Society Women Taking Keen
Interest In the Sport.

interest IN the sport.
Fencing has become the vogue among
fashionable Newport women. They are
stamping their small feet in the "ap-
pei they are learning to thrust and
parry TO engage IN quartz, to "cut
over" TO lunge, daily they are devotins
more time TO acquiring proficiency IN
the art and even many OF them Will
fence with some OF the ability OF old
masters and perhaps equal to men
fcncers Of today Nor does the exercise
detract from their womanlness, for Il
gives perfect harmony aud grace OF fig.
ure and Of movement.
SO these marauders who envy the
diamonds, emeralds and rubies of New
York women OF fashion had best not
invade their boudors In the attempt
TO steal their Jewels, II they do. surely
they viii find themselves "plnked" or
transhxed by foil or rapier IN hand
soft as silk, but strong as steel.
Mrs. Philip NJ Lydlg, Mrs. Royal
Phelps Carroll, Mrs Ogden Goclet,
Miss Marian Fish and Miss Natalie
Wells are some Of the women In So
ciety who are learning TO fence Mrs,
Eleanor Baldwin Cass Is teaching
them. The little fencing master was
Miss Baldwin, OF Boston. and is a
relative OF James l. Parker Under
her instruction the Ladies' Fencing
club has gained many private pupils
and financial supporters.
Mrs. ogden Boelet for example, Is
Instructed I'M physical exercises in her
apartments before she breakfasts at
noon. Like other women who find Il
difficult TO MI All their social engage
