Indoor Work Helps.

Daily practice is being taken in the gym
nasium under the direction of Coach
Maddox This is the first year that the
do any consistent indoor work. There is
sufficient room on the gymnasium floor
for forty yard spirits. Several indoor
starting boards have been put into use
and some real short distance racing is
INDUCED in. The hurdle men are also
practicing over the hurdles
The outdoor track is being Strengthened
Up and Fecindered so that as soon as the
weather permits the men will be able to
begin hard work. This fact means
great deal when one compares it with the
condition of the track at the beginning
of the season last year, as il was the
middle of April before outdoor work could
be begun.

STATE LEAGUE 1l,l
SEEMS CERTAIN
Fans Are Lined Up and Demand
Strong Organization for the
Coming Season.
EUREKA IS HOLDING BACK
ELEMENT IN THAT TOWN IA
VoRs INDEPENDENT BALL.

Although thbopening OF the Utah
baseball season. is fully two months
away. yet work on a state league has
progressed until now 1t Is hard to see
how the plans of the promoters can
fall down. Whenethe league was first
proposed, month ago. the leading
baseball spirits OF the different towns
went to work organizing, and now mat
ters have reached a stage where a
state league is practically certain.
Just what towns viii make up the
league has not been settled, nor will
IT be until a meeting has been held,
an organization perfected and forfeit
money posted, AT the present time it
looks al If the circuit viii be Salt
Lake, Ogden, Park City and Eureka.
The first three named towns have
come out hat-footed for a state league,
but I'm Eureka there is a sentiment for
independent. ball. Should this senti-
ment prevail IN the Eureka club, either
Murray or Bingham VIII be substituted
for the Tintic metropolis.
Eureka Wanted in League.
This is not desired by any means,
as Eureka should prove a strong card
in the league, but, as Independent ball
is out Of the question in the other three
cities, they, may be forced to secure
one of the above meT toned towns.
Independent ball at its best is a poor
excuse fer the national game This
has been shown here in Salt Lake, and
was eaphatically proved last summer
when independent teams were as nu-
meTous as wOuId-be managers made
themselves knovH.@ Games were adj
vertised. and FwheiIr the fans appeared

given to the press for publication. and
when IT came time 10 play ball scarce
" a playsr srh entioned appeared in uni
form. S89Sa half dozen teams in
Salt Lake, aloHe were Claiming the
same lineup, and some of the players
were on a different team every day.
There was no discipline on the field
and when the season closed a game
of baseball would not draw a dozen
spectators. This IS what Independent
ball did in the past and always will
do where there is not governing body
over the snort.
Want Organized Ball.
This is realized in ogden, where
Dad Gimlin will have a hand in the
sport. Park City also knows of the
bitter experiences in the past when
they depended upon certain players for
big games and Oh the date for the game
saw their players in the uniforms OF
the rival team. In Salt Lake it is real
lied that organized ball is the only
kind the fans will pay their money to
see, hence the necessity for a state
league,
If agreeable 20 the different towns
in the proposed circuit. a league meet
ing will probably be called for Salt

After this meeting some definite in

will probably be that a state league

RACES HARD TO GET.

Iver Lawson, Salt Lakes world s
champion bicycle rider. is home AGAIN.
Still wearing the tan of the Australian
summer. Lawson arrived in the city yes
terday and at once settled down for a
good long rest among his friends who
have watched his upward career in the
cycling world during the past eight
years. Here he will remain for some
time, forgetting there is such a thing
as bicycle and the constant weary
grind to keep himself in shape to de-
fend his hard earned title.
Lawson says his trip to Australia this
winter has been a successful one He
has done better work on his wheel than
on any previous trip, starting I'm fifteen
races and winning fourteen firsts and
one third While the prizes were not
as numerous as on some of his last
trips abroad. it was because there was
not a rider in Australia this season who
would draw crowd in competition with
Lawson. Rutt and Mayer were imported
from Europe to race against Lawson.
but Iver beat them so bad in the first
couple of races that the public would
not pay to see them race any more
Conditions had reached such a stage
that Lawson had the field to himself
In fact he found himself in the same
position Jim Jeffries was when there
were no more men to beat. and was
forced to come home

Sam and Mac Still There.

liver says MacFarland and Samuelson
were dividing honors when he left Au-
STRATA. This pair are now in form and
are beating the best over there. Sam
uelson played in hard luck when he first
reached Australia. said Lawson. THE
trouble with Samuelson,'' he went on,
was too much training. He made the
mistake of training on the boat going
over and then riding his block off as
soon as he arrived in Australia. For
this reason he was stale when he began
riding and could not get going. 1t is
much hotter over there than in Salt
Lake. and the heat helped weaken Sam
uelSon- After a month SamuelSOn be-
came acclimated and for the first time
began to show his old Salt Lake form.
From now on he and Mcfarland will win
their share of the races"
