OFFICIALS. NAMED
FOR STATE MEET
Intercollegiate Conference
Hands Down Law to
L. D. S. u.

The first active work toward the an
nual state track and field meet was done
yesterday when representatives of the
five schools who are members of the
intercollegiate conference met in this city
Those present were Coach Badenoch of
the B. Y. c., Coach Walker of the A. c.
Coach Teetzel of the b. Y. L.. Coach
Milne of the l.. ID. 5. L., and Coach Mad
dock of the L. of L.
1t appears that all was not serene at
the meeting, judging from a resolution
introduced and passed to the effect that
the l. ID. 5. L would have to get into
the University class in baseball or get
out Of the University class in track and
field. Owing TO the mixed conditions in
This state in all kinds of athletics and
The lack OF strong governing body, the
different schools have been playing their
games where they could and with whom
soeVer they could get q game.
Until this year there has never been
such am organization as college
baseball league. The l.. ID. S. L. has
been strong on this game and having had
a team for several years naturally went
in the direction in which they could get
games. This was in the High School
class as the Salt Lake High and All Hal
lows have already had teams in the field
in this branch of sport
The same conditions existed in track
and field Practically the only competi-
ton for the Saints in the branch of sport
so the l.. ID. S L. drifted into the college
class in track and field.
1t now turns out that the high schools
are kicking on the Saints in baseball
while the colleges say the Saints must
get up in their class in baseball or get
down in the high school class in track
and field. To enforce this rule a reso-
luton was passed yesterday to this effect
Coach Milne who was at the meeting
said last evening that he did not know
what course the L. d. s. T. would take.
but that the matter would go before the
athletic board at once
The date of the track meet was def
nitely settled upon May 16, and a set
of officers were chosen to handle the
meet These officers are: Referee. John
f. Tobin; clerk of course, Elwood Brown:
scorer, Freeman Bassett: starter, D. A

near London. in which the Olympian
games will be contested this year, has
been placed in position, and some idea
can now be obtained of the lgnitude
of the British Olympic associations un-

signed to accommodate 10000 spectators,
and. besides, will contain rooms for the
competitors, officials and general public,
and "a lot of floor space for exhibits of
sporting implements. The center is
turf arena, 7O0 feet in length by 800 feet
in width, around which has been laid
running track having three laps TO the
mile, and outside this again cycling
track having two and three-quarter laps
to the mile. Alongside the arena Is
swimming pond, 100 meters in length.
with a deep space in the middle for mgh
diving and water polo.
The games to be contested in the sta
dunn will be divided into two parts, the
main Olympic games, opening July IL,
and which will include athletics, cy-
cling, fencing, gymnastics, archery,
swimming and wrestling, and the win
ter games, commencing October 10, and
including football, both Rugby and as
ISOLATION. hockey and la crosse.
Upward of twenty countries have
formed Olympic committees to promote
the participation of their athletes in
these games and if the men respond as
they have promised the meeting will be
one of the greatest ever held. The Amer
lean committee has been most active,
and in reply to a circular as to what
events they intend to compete in, the
secretary has replied ''all.'

EXPERT TALKS
ON BILLIARDS
Edward Mclaughlin Says
Acoustics Make Difference
in Style of Game.

Acoustics make a deal of difference
in expert billiard playing, in the opin-
ion of Edward Mclaughlin, himself an
expert and the best-known billiard ref
cree in the country. Mclaughlin has
been referee in important matches for
tweny years or more, and has made
a study of the conditions which have
prevailed.
THE matter of acoustics is one that
has received little or no attention in
the arrangements of most of the pub
lie halls-I don't mean the regular
rOoms-that is. acoustics as applied to
their effects on billiards" he said; land
I presume that most people who play
billiards never have given it a thought.
Yet it is a subject that ought to be
considered carefully, for there would
be better playing if the rooms were
arranged with careful regard to sound.
Where does sound come in in a,
billiard match? I'll tell you. The sound
made by the contact of billiard balls
is music when the sound is what it
should be. when the proper atmospheric
and architectural conditions have the
desired effect on the sensitive ivory
balls. Would a music room be built
without regard for these conditions?
1t would not, and there is just as
much reason why a billiard room should
not.
That Tinpanny Sound.
IF billiard balls have a tinpanny
sound or sound like cobblestones when
they roll and meet. something in the
conditions of the hall is having bad
effect on them. And the sound of the
balls has its effect on the player. as
well as showing that the balls are
ailing. So the player suffers as to
I, - l.
culation of the expert the more he will
be affected by tools which are not per-
feet: but under similar circumstances
any player would be affected though
he might not be as quick to discover
the reason as the trained expert. The
primary cause of the condition of the
balls. ard consequently Of the poor
playing of the expert, is TO be found
i'm the conditions of the bail itself, bu;
the sound of the balls also, if it isn't
the clear and musical note it should
be. viii be a second reason.
There may be those who think this
is a far-fetehed theory. but it isn't
in the least. When the sound is right
the play will be twice as good
Il have never seen a billiard room
in private residence that was prop
erly equipped with regard to sound
Architects apparently nave not studied
the subject. L nave nedrd men IN their
homes say they couldn't play as well
as they could IN some of the big
Broadway rooms, and the reason is
their private rooms are not so well
adapted to PLAYING. 1 remember many
years ago when NignaGX was over her .

THE CORRECT VERSION.

Maud Muller, on summers day,
Said. My, I'm feeling far from gayl
I've read the latest novels through,
And all the daily papers, too.
I'm lonely and I'm rather blue:
l truly don't know what to do"
Just then the same old judge rode by,
And Miss Maud Muller CHANGED to spy.
All, little Maudie come with me
Unto the baseball park" said he.
"A double headers on today:
Pray, get your lid and let's away"
But Maudie sat there mystifed.
And to his honor softly sighed:
Inform me. ere from here bulge
What is double header, judge?"
A look of scorn lit up his eye,
As 10 the dame he made reply:
Miss Muller. you will pardon me,
I'm disappointed nightly.
Il marvel you can so dispense
Contributory negligence.
"Henceforth our ways must sever wide,
So dense a girl I'll neer call BRIDE
Upon my little prancing roam
I'll HE me to the game alone,'
Thus speaking loi he DOTTED his hat,
And left the maiden where she sat
