assaults upon it and the many at

favored Rugby while they have found
much objection 10 the other English
game of socker football. What show
has the socker game for general APP
prevail?
Most American experts say none ut
all and most American football players
who have seen the socker game join
heartily In the chorus. However, in
Salt Lake there is a small percentage
of socker experts and enthusiasts who
stay by the game In fair and foul
weather, and who claim that some day
IL will get a popular hearing. and re-
ceive popular favor.
The teams of Utah who insist on
playing socker ball, will this spring

GOSSIP Of THE

Battling Nelson Proved He is
King Of the Little

got his real start right here in Salt

finished the job he undertook after
leaving this city, namely, TO prove that
he Is master OF all the little fellows IN
the game Of wallops. by decisively beat

Let's see: The Durable Dane started
out by beating Spider WEIGH. Then he

James Edward Britt. Wednesday night
he added McGOvern's scalp TO the COLI

last fight Is the only one In which he
has been pronounced fayorite. In
each OF his previous battles the WISE

nothing to IT, Nelson was mot good

clever. II was said that Nelson would
not be able to hit Chances Hedward

and on Wednesday night he made the

How does he do it?" Simply because
he is a fighter who fights, and that's all
there Is to 1t.

While some have criticised Nelson for

think he did exactly right They say

down.
But hold on a minute.
That sounds all right after the fight,
when II Is apparent to everybody that
Nelson could have knocked out Terry
by those tactics. But Bat had to be
careful. He had more to lose than Nc
Govern had to lose. In the Brooklyn
boy the hattler met n dangerous oppo-

DANGER OF DUST IN MINES.
Peri! is Pointed Cut On Paper by a
Noted Erqineer.

At a recent meeting of mining en-
gineerS held in Leeds. w. II. Picker
ing, British mining inspector, read 4
paper on The Dust Danger" The i'm
portance of dust as a factor in colliery
explosions was, he said now generally
recognized and understood. Provis
ions had been introduced in the coal
mine regulation act regulating the use
OF explosives in dry and dusty places
and the "cXplOsives-in-c al-minss' or
der had been issued by the HON" sec
retary,
In Il few mines dust was systemati-
cally laid by watering, but no wide
spread effort had been made to strike
al the root of the danger. Permitted
explosives We're only relatively safe,
for each one of them was capable of
initiating an explosion under certain
conditions. and it could not be too
often repeated and emphasized that a
dust explosion could be started in
other ways than by an explosive.
Ignition of fire. damp might result from
a naked lamp or from damaged or
defective lump or from spark from
a pick or an electric spark, and this
might be magnified by dust into a
great explosion. Dust also increased
the danger Of underground fires.
Obviously. the only way of remedy
ing the danger was TO keep the mines
free from coal dust by cutting off the
supply or by other means. AS long as
dusty roads were allowed in the mines
the coal industry was under the dark
shadow of coming great disaster
The looming danger was recognized
by all and he submitted that this Pc
riod of peace and immunity was the
time 10 take practical steps to avoid
the danger. He believed a discussion
would show that it was reasonably
practicable to keep moist mines COM
parativCly free from dust that was
dangerous and this freedom would
conduce to safety and to health and
comfort as well.
