Why "ringers" should be brought in
to contests supposed and arranged to
be contests Of skill or lack of skill
among strictly non-professionals, is
something which invariably happens
and which can never be explained
satisfactorily to n lover of clean sport
or wholesome fun. When a baseball
game is announced between the VIII
lage gravediggers and the next towns
store-keepers everyone goes over to
the vacant lot with n whole belief that
no viii laugh himself nigh to death"
On the other hand. when the lover of
sport goes to National league game,
he expects nothing but gilt-edged ball
playing.
So scores of people went down to
Walkers field last Tuesday expecting
to laugh. Why? Because Salt Lakes
policemen were TO meet ogden's pol
icemen. And no one could image a
policeman moving around bases on
anything but the regulation take-your-
time there's-e ight-hours-ahead- of-you
walk. No one could imagine Fatty"
Stalnes, for instance. stopping a ball
with his hands, although 1t was the
easiest thing in the world to see him
stop 1t with that preponderance Of
waist line of his, or his head or-any-
thing but his hands. But there was
only smattering OF hilarious plays
because the real policemen in the
game--and there were several on eth
er side-got only an occasional chance
to feel the ball. and Staincs was not in
the game at all. With ringer pitch
ers and in Salt Lakes case. a ringer
catcher during the last half OF the
game, and ringer intielders, the game
turned out as such games always win
turn out: 1t was not funny enough TO
be amusing. and not good enough TO
be intensely interesting.
There is talk of a return match. Then
Of police of ogden select team from
the salt Lake police force and Judge
Diehl or Chief Pitt or someone down
here, select a team from the Ogden
force. The result would be the gath

The suggestion was put UP to Judge

town even much larger than
Lafayette. The construction of
such an expensive building by
Messrs. Levy Bros. shows that
they have great deal of conf
dence in the future of this city,
a confidence we believe that is
fully justified.
Just across the streeton the op
posite corner the Falk Mercap-

the future build handsome
three story brick. They pur-
chased the corner some time ago
and intended building early this
year, but the money stringency
caused them to delay building.
