Every baseball fan in Utah knows
Wild Bill" Setley- Setley is the man
who held the indicator on the Pacific
National league, and who, it might be
added, was the sole arbiter of the game
while it lasted. BILL" besides being
good umpire, is a good story teller, and
here is one which Bill" insists is so,
as he saw it himself, and is an ac-
count of q catcher who chased in four
runs and lost his game.
On the opposing team was a young
fellow who had quite a reputation as
sprinter. The catcher had some con-
fdence in his own ability, and along
in the game the young fellow struck
out. A bright idea came to the catch
er. Here, he said, is where 1 show
this guinea UP. He dropped the third
strike and the kid started for first

wild BILL" SETLEY TELLS OF CATCHER
WHO CHASED four RUNS ACROSS PLATE

The bases were full, but the thought
that the kid could beat him out never
occurred to him. Down TO first they
tore along, the catcher only a few feet
behind. The kid caught on to the
game and kept going. So did the
catcher From first to second he gained
some more, but couldn't quite get up
to touch him with the ball. Down to
third they raced, the kid still leading
by an eyelash And would you believe
it, he crossed the plate ahead and won
the game. The score was 4 to 8, and
of course the catcher had thrown the
game away. They put him on the
bench and the manager locked him $50
next pay day. That marked the apex
of his baseball career. He lost out
with the major that same season and
went back to a minor league. His Jo-
nah still pursued him, and the next
year he was out of the game for good.
Went on the police force, I think. The
police force is a Mecca for wornout ball

Feminist TEN-YARD RULE
Middle West Football Experts
Believe 1t Is Too Much
Handicap to Team,

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Keen dissatisfac-
ton was felt by western football men
yesterday when 1t was learned that the
rational football rules committee had
decided tentatively for the ten-yard
rule, with only three downs It was
generally accepted that this radical
rule of Walter Camps would be adop-
ted, but it was believed that Coach
Stages suggestion for four downs in
stead of but three would also be car
red with it. The report from New
York seems to indicate that the east
eTn members Of the committee would
not bulge from the Camp idea, and
that Stages amendment was lost
While definite action will not be
taken until March 3 on the rules it IS
feared that the west has lost and that
eastern radiCalism has won. The one
forward pass is the only compromise
adopted on this point. Western
coaches and officials will bring inliu-
cree to bear on the committee before
final action is taken.
Ralph Hoagland is leading the fight
among the officials for the adoption OF
Stages compromise.

The only part still remaining of the
old order of things is the six-day BIZ
cycle race. Probably this is still in
vogue on account of its. barbarfty. If
you're not a cannibal nowadays you
lose. Those six-day events take place
as often as the contestants are released
from the hospitals and insane institu-
tons.
During the six-day grind the riders
seldom leave their wheels. Occasion
ally they are forced to stop for a min
ute in order to make arrangements with
the coroner about the d sposal of then
bodies after the race. Their meals are
shot to them from an air rifle and their
