RACES WERE SUCCESSFUL,
Events at SibIey Park Yesterday Were
Pleasing to Spectators.

Racing on the Sibley park track yes
terdav afternoon was the best seen there
for many day. Everything went off
like clock work and the crowd of tnree
thousand people enjoyed themselves to
the utmost. The racing, considering the
condition of the track, was fast and all
the heats we'll contested, especially in
what may be called the second divisions
in the two pacing races. The trotters

three minute trot in splendid style. This
colt has been good gated and level
headed at all times and has the making
of trot horse surely. His winning yes
terday was a popular one, as his driver
and owner can count his friends by the
score among the horsemen, and DIR.
Driver, the colt. has been matinee
performer since he was a two years old.
The free for all pace was a grand race
and the time was good. 1t was also the
only split heat affair as Jimmie Nc

ing club. Articulate showed she had
her speed as usual but, being short of
work. the soft track showed on her as
it did on the other horses especially on
the PAGERS.
The running race of half-m heats
was won by King David. owned by W.
J. Brecht of Minnesota Lake. Annie,
4 very pretty little brown mare owned
BY Mr.. McCarrich of Easton won sec
ond. Tom Tom third, and Queen Bess

and brought cheers from the crowd. The
horsemen all commented on the excel

conflict had been In progress six
months. And they are entitled to the
admiration of the world. sympathy for
the Japs, however, has been waning
decidedly. The little brown men have
grown arrogant Apparently they have

The change of sentiment towards the

where, in the event OF renewal of hos

favor the soldiers of the car It has,
however. reached a point where there
would not be a great deal of sorrow in
America If the Russians should win one
decisive victory, just by the way of

A Natural Curiosity.
New York Tribune.

Poressor D. P. Crop, of the Unlvers-
ity of Colorado, has invented a ma
chine to increase the height from one
to five inches and the chest girth from
one to four inches.
1T is amazing" said Professor
Cropp the other day, what an interest
people take in any change in their
physique-the gain of an inch around
the chest or forearm, the loss OF an
inch in the neck or stomach.
Il know a fat woman who spent
July at the sea shore, taking an ocean
bath and a hot bath daily, so as to
reduce her weight.
THE day she was to start for home
she entered a butcher shop and told
the man to cut her off twenty pounds
Of pork
He cut and weighed this great
chunk Of meat and then said:
Where. madam, shall / send it2'
But the woman. as she Toasted her

COST OF BASEBALL.

A baseball crank with a head for fig
ures has been getting out some Stats
tics on the cost of the national game.
He finds that something like $1,000, 600
is spent every season by the owners
and managers OF baseball teams. OF
this sum s2.577 900 is paid in salaries to
professional players. S2,5OOO 900 in sal
aries to managers and for maintaining
grounds, $500, 900 for railroad fare. $780,
geo for sleeping car fare, s125, 600 for
training expenses and $500, 900 for sun
dry expense.
These figures cover only the cost of
maintaining the regularly organized
league teams that are in the national
agreement. There are several so-called
OUTLAW" leagues In which the ex-
pcnses amount TO q considerable sum.
Then there are hundreds of amateur
and semi-professionaI aggregations in
the country, and, while the players
draw either small salaries or none at
all, they must spend money for equip
ment and that runs into large figures.
All items considered, it would not be
unreasonable to say that those who are
interested as owners or managers in
baseball teams spend a total of not
less than SlO,OOO,OOO during the season of
five or six months. If the average cost
OF admission is fifty cents, and it is
probably close to that figure, 20, OOO, 900
people must buy at least one ticket
each before the baseball promoters get
their money back As a matter of fact
the statistics show that less than fifty
per cent OF the baseball angels ever
realize anything on their investment.
They regard the money put into base
ball as donation, pure and simple, for
the encouragement OF the sport.
About the only baseball Investments
that pay are those In the major leagues
and some OF the clubs even there are
satisfied with very small returns.

is, we believe, the way the song puts it.
And that seems to be the condition in
which the tariff stand-patters have put
the highly esteemed president of the
United states. 1t is announced from
Oyster Bay that no extraordinary ses-
SION of congress to revise the tariff will
De held this year. The statement is not
made i'm So many words. but the tone
Of the Associated Press dispatch is a
sufficient indication of the present tenn
per of the president. Says the mes
sage:
Indeed. the indications are now that
no extraordinary session viii be held
this year. This statement is made on
the authority of President Roosevelt
himself. He has not decided definitely
and VIII probably not reach a determin-
alton of it until he shall have returned
u Washington the latter part of Sep
TENDER The chances of an eXtraordi-
nary session appear. however, to be
fading"
Then the dispatch tells of strong pres
sure that is being brought to bear on
Mr.. Roosevelt to prevent the calling of
the extra session. 1t is not hard to 10
cate the source of this strong pressure.
1t comes from the tariff-protected in
terests through their representatives in
the house and senate. Some of it is un-
dOubtedly being eXerted directly, too.
And it has only been a few months
since the president was being widely
In his last message to congress he
failed to say a word about the tariff
and it was understood that he would
send a special message on the subject.
lie failed, however, TO do so. 1t was
generally understood. though, that sir,
Roosevelt strongly favored an imme-
date revision of the tariff so as to
distribute the burden OF taxation more
equally. Time and again politicians
who have posed as Roosevelt mouth
pieces have declared that he wanted
the tariff revised and that he would
call an extra session for that purpose
At first it was said that the extra
session would be held in October, then
that congress would be called together
early in November. Now it appears
that we Will have no extra session at
all
Mr.. Roosevelt has always been long
on promise and short on futhllment.
His present attitude viii lose him much
OF the respect in which his political
opponents have held him. He has
shown that he is not as independent
as he would like TO have the nation be-
lieve him. The protected interests OF
the United States did much TO elect
him, Apparently he has not forgotten
the obligation.

MAsATCH DRIVE suRE.

The announcement that more than
$1,000 of the $1,000 necessary to the con-
struction of Wasatch drive has been
raised is good news. The Commercial
club committee having the matter in
charge has done excellent work. 1t is
no easy task 90 raise money for a
public enterprise during the dog days.
Many citizens who may ordinarily be
depended upon for subscriptions are out
OF the city and others do not feel like
talking about giving away cash in hot
weather. 1t makes them hotter to even
think Of giving away money.
So the fact that 50, 900 has been
raised in spite of the handicap is an
unmistakable guarantee that the rest
OF the money win be secured with ease.
Il is planned to begin work next month
If the cash is forthcoming. If the wea-
ther this fall is normal, there will be
It least sixty days, and perhaps more
time. in which to prosecute the road
building. IL the work is hurried along
as it should be it may be completed this
fall
So, for cost that is trifling when the
result is considered, Salt Lake will have
the finest driveway in this part of the
country. We are inclined to go farther
and say it viii be the finest drive in any
part of the United States. There are
plenty of 'show" streets in the larger
cities. streets that are lined with SPLEEN
did mansions, velvety lawns, magnifi-
cent shade trees. But these are the
work Of men. The Wasatch drive win
disclose a panorama containing the
work Of the Almighty. d view the hands
OF men could never duplicate.
II viii be a drive worth coming many
miles to traverse, for in no other way
can the visitor or the citizen gain a full
appreciation of the wonderful beauty
OF the Great Salt Lake valley. The
drive will pay for itself many times
over. not i'm money, of course. but in inn
planting a love OF nature and natural
beauties in the hearts of those who
have the good fortune to go over it.
Congratulations are due TO the orig
inators of the plan and to the CONNER
cal club. which has so earnestly fur
thered it.

pEAcE PROSPECTS.

The prospects for peace, in spite OF
the wild rumors that come out Of Ports
mouth, are rather better than they have
been. The very fact that there has
been no break in the negotiations is
"a hopeful augury. At the beginning it
looked as IL a rupture was inevita bic.
Now the discussion seems to be going
forward with some good feeling AID
the object for which the commission
has assembled may be accomplished

IL is within the bounds of proba bility
that the japanese viii modify some OF
their demands. They are not entitled
TO everything they have asked. The
refusal OK the Russians to yield all
points is abUndantly justidable. The
progress Of the negotiations thus far
has caused a veering of American pub

cans are fond of sympathizing with the

There is no good reason why the
former bandit should not develop into
a useful citizen, even though his fresh
start is made rather late in life And
on one point he should have some ad-
vantage over his railroad brethren.
Having robbed so many trains himself
he should know how to prevent modern
bandits from robbing his trains.
