the Amateur Athletic Union Of tn
United States have announced that
hereafter they will follow up the pas
time of basketball and suspend every
team in the country that plays with
unregistered or suspended teams or any
fives having suspended or unregistered
teams in their lineup. John SteiI
chairman of the registration committee
Of the A. A. l., announced that not even
the big varsity teams would be exempt
in the future, and il looks like a big
fight between the intercollegiate Bas-
ketbali Association and the ruling ath-
letic body of the country.

RIVAL BASKETBALL
TEAMS DISAGREE
Little Chance of Carroll
Corcoran Series.
TROUBLE OVER THE RULES
Guardsmen Want Militia Code, whn.
Institute Insists Upoa A. Z. q.
Regulations.

With the. basketball season practically
at a close there seems to be little or no
chance of match game or series be-
tween the two best teams-the Washing
ton-Coreoran Cadets and Carroll Insti-
tute.
Both teams express their willingness
to play If certain conditions are accept
ed, but 1t is over these conditions that
all the trouble hangs
As soon as the institute and cadet
qiIints had distanced all other competi-
tors IN the local field, there was popu-
lar demand for meeting to decide onco
and for all the supremacy
Neutral Grounds.
Shortly after the revision Of the Ma
tional Guard schedule Capt z. C. Ed
wards, the Corcoran manager, wrote to
Dr. Reilly. Carroll's coach, suggesting a
series under any conditions that would
be mutually agreed upon. In mis- answer
Dr. Reilly informed Captain Edwards
that Carroll Institute was ready upon
condition that the game be played On
neutral fields, that the officials be con-
nected with neither organization, and
that the rules OF the Amateur Athletic
Union govern all contests.
In their reply the Corcorans express
their satisfaction to the first two
! clauses, but insisted upon the National
Guard rules be used IN one Of the
games, the A A. L. code in one, and in
the third game one set of rules in the
first half and the other in the second
half.
Row Over Rules.
To this Carroll would not agree, adj
vancing the argument shat as both or
ganizations were members OF the union,
the A A L. rules should be used to gov
ern all games Of the series.
The Corcorans objected on the grounds
that they had been playing according
to the militia rules ali season. and Ii
would be asking too much to have them
| throw aside all their rules for q code
with which they are practically unac-
quainted.
Here the matter rests, and unless one
| side is willing 10 give way, local bas-
ketbalI deyotees have slim chance Of
seeing Washington's most representative
teams clash.

MORMON PATRIARCH
CATCHES BIG FISH
NATHAN TANNER SCORES SUC-
CESS AS AN ANGLER
Pioneers Enjoy Trip to Santa Catalina
and Marvel at Wonders Of Deep
Sea-Visit Marine Gardens and
Moonstone Beach

Local experts with the rod and reel
cannot have all of the honors for catch
ing big fish at Catalina island. The
Mormon pioneers who visited the island
yesterday could give some of the cracks
pointers on the proposition of how to
catch fish. The oldest member of the
party, Nathan Tanner, together with a
party of his old cronies among the
patriarchs visiting the island. yesterday
hooked the largest yeIlowtail that has
been caught at Catalina for several
days. The big silversides weighed
thirty-five pounds.
Tanner said that he had had
many and varied experiences but that
never before had he caught one of the
leviathans of the sea. He was as pro;td
over his catch as a boy with a new
kite, and he says that he will have it
mounted and send it back to Salt Lake
City to his family.
I'll have to send the fish or they
would not believe that l caught one at
ALL" the old man naively remarked.
Most of the other members of the
party went to Moonstone Beach by
means of the glass bottomed boats,
Lady Lou and Cleopatra. and to say
that they enjoyed the experience would
not express it at all. 1t was almost
impossible to convince the hoary-
headed patriarchs that the water over
which they were passing was fifty feet
deep and not ten, as they persisted in
believing.
1t was for them never to be for
gotten day of unalloYed pleasure, al
though some of them did get sick on
the way over There were few COM
plants, and those were not of long
duration.
The women of the party stood the sea
trip better than the men, and they were
in the main totally unaffected by the
pitching of the Cabrillo.
The trip back to the mainland in the
late afternoon was much smoother than
when they crossed in the morning. And
they all landed on the wharf at San
Pedro feeling we'll and with tre"
mendous appetite for dinner.
Tomorrow they will be the guests of
honor at a reception and banquet given
In their honor at the Bristol cafe by
the Pioneers society of Los Angeles.
Several members of the party will
return to Salt Lake early In the week.
They all express themselves as being
charmed beyond expression with the
city and the people of Los Angeles, and
many of them regret that they must go
back to the Mormon capital.

Grand

Although burdened with a mass or
irrelevant incident, the plot of queen
of the Highway" at the Grand TINS
week is novel and striking. Midst the
and murders galore, while horses and
stage coaches dash across the stage
in bewidering succession.
The comical Jew, inseparable from
melodrama, cavorted through the four
acts of the play for no other purpose
apparently than to narrowly escape
lynching by an intoxicated MOB OF
miners at the end of every act.
Many of the characters were good
and some were exceedingly bad. Aileen
NAV in the part of the woman bandit
did Justice to an exceedingly hard char
acter. The character of the woman
bandit is supposed to be highly mascu-
line. Her work is highly sympathetic
and shows to a much better adVan-
tage than in the last weeks bill
A scene in the story which deserves
special mention is the scene in the
third act in the home of Bell Diamond,
the girl bandit. Jess, the ingenue'
played by Loretta Taylor is prisoner
i'm the cabin of the woman bandit and
adventures. Bell Diamond. Left to
guard her is a half breed Indian. The
Indian becomes intoxicated while on
watch and takes a notion that he
would like to have Jess for his squaw
He first endeavors to persuade her to
go with him to his wigwam. but, that
means failing and his blood becoming
heated with the whisky he has drunk,
he tries to force her to go with him.
There is a struggle in which the bot
tie of whisky which the half breed
has been holding in his hand is thrown
on the floor. A candle standing on
nearby table is overturned and in an
instant the floor is ablaze with burning
whisky.
Jess takes advantage of the Indians
struggles to extinguish the blaze and
stabs him. He falls on the floor into
the midst of the flames and lies
suirming about in his death struggles,
enveloped in flames, for full minute
before the curtain is rung down.
