President Anderson Is Kind.

After all these months it remained
for the president Of the Colorado
School of Mines to award Utah the
Rocky mountain championship in foot
ball. President Anderson was q visitor
to Salt Lake the week just closed, and
after making a nice talk on athletics
he told how friendly the miners felt to-
ward Utah. This was certainly Jews
to those who have read the articles
supposed to have emanated from
Golden about Utah. In these articles
Golden simply ''hollered her head eff
and acted very much like a whipped
baby Now it is discovered it was al
a mistake. and President Anderson told
us what we here in Utah have known
ever since that famous game of foot
bail was played-that is. Golden vas
licked" and licked good and
plenty.
But in awarding Utah the Rocky
mountain championship. President AL
derson is coming little strong. Boul-
der defeated Utah, and defeated us
fairly. and we here in this state cannot
consistently claim the title with this
defeat against Utah. Utah does, how
ever and always has. and always viii,
claim a tie for the Rocky mountain
championship for the season OF 1907.
This Utah won fairly, and it is all the
school did win fairly.

As the time rolls around for the
opening Of the bicycle racing game in
Utah. it is evident there will be plenty
of bicycle riders here to assure sue
cess of the sport There is a great
amount of talking in the east about
opening new tracks, but the bike riders
of the country know where the money
is. and you could not keep them away
from here with a gatling gun OF
course. those now in the east are hold
ing out for contracts to come to Salt
Lake, but ere the first pistol announces
they are off on the local tracks. those
who are now talking contracts will be
too glad to come to Salt Lake for such
a small consideration as railroad fare.
There will be lots of riders, and good
ones, here, and records will go by the
board this year. just as they have in
the past.
of course. Frank Kramer viii be
missed this season. but the game pros
pered fairly well before the advent Of

Jackie Clarke on Deck.
With Kramer out of it, Jackie Clarke
is the next best man in America, aC-
cOrding to dope and Jackie viii be wen
on his way to Salt Lake by the time
this appears. There are a couple more
Australians due to arrive. and who can
tell but that one of these may prove
another Clarke Every effort possible
will be made by the n. c. a. TO keep
the riders in the east this year, be
cause these officials realize that their
power in controlling racing Wi:h the
game prospecting in Utah is nnlv by
sufferance of the managers IF the local
tracks. If the n Z. 4. can get the
sport started in the east again it can
get some power with which to hack up
decisions by holding the blacklist on
eastern tracks over the heads of the
local riders. For this reason You may
expect Salt Lake to get raw deal
every time its interests conflict '"ith
those at Vailsburg. The opening of the
season is still a full month away, but
at present the prospects for plenty If
riders are exceedingly bright.

EARLY DAYS Of
BASEBALL STARS
Many Leaders in Big Leagues
Had to Overcome 0biec-
tons of Parents.

Many baseball stars have had hard
work to get their parents consent to
play the game. Among them is Larry
Lajoie
The early days of the now famous
ball player were not strewn with roses.
Not by a whole lot. Larcy's mother
had some ideas of her own regarding
the propriety of playing bail when
young man might be working. Every
once in a while Larry and one of his
brothers would forget to go TO work in
the cotton mill. but would lose day
or two and go out to play ball When
they arrived at home Mrs. Lajoie was
waiting with a half broomsticlS which
performed the functions Of the pro-
verbal willow in the LajOie household.

Troubles of DeIehanty.
Ed Delehanty was another famous
player that had his troubles at home
when breaking into the game When
a boy, his fame as a sluSger leaked
out among the surrounding towns and
numerous offers came to the big Cleve-
land batsman. They came addressed
TO his house, however, and according
to the story, they all went into the
kitchen range without big Ed seeing

Then his contract arrived and Ed be

Mrs. Delehanty was opposed to the

BOULDER STARTS
SPRING PRACTICE
Team Which Gives Utah a
Hard Rub Already Train
ing for Next Fall.

Boulder. Colo, May 2.-Last evening
there We're on Gamble field score or
more candidates for football honors on
next years team of the University Of
Colorado. OF course. there will be only
work such as kicking and passing the
ball permitted this spring. However,
it is hoped that by getting out the men
this spring the coaches and captain
may get such a line on the available
material that their work win be ma
terially lightened and substantially ex-
pedited for next fall
1t is the intention to give all possi-
BILE quarterbacks a first-class trying
out this spring, and in addition to as
certain just what men in school are
able to kick the ball, says Coach Fol
som. The men who show the best
form in kicking this spring will be Civ
en- ball to take home with them dur
ing the summer, with which to praC-
tice, SO when the squad is called to-
gether for the first time in the fall
there will be good kicking material al
ready developed. With the rules as
they have been for the past two years,
and as they will be next year, the team
which has the best kickers has two
thirds of its games won.
After Championship.
No one realizes this fact better than
does Head Coach Folsom at the Uni
versity of Colorado. So he has started
work on that branch of the game in
order to have the greatest possible
chance of turning out championship
team for the state university for the
fall of 1908.
Captain Clair Coffin says he is par
ticularly delighted over the showing
already for next years team. He says
there is an abundance of good ma
terial in school now, and with the
spring practice he hopes to put the
team on such a foundation that the
work next fall of getting things started
will be at a minimum. He says he has
two or three good kickers in school
now who will be out regularly for
practice, and that he will spare no
pains in developing these men into the
best hooters in the state.
