Bad Conduct Of CoIored 8oysa and
Girls.

Mothers and fathers, teach
your children better manners
and how to conduct themselves
in public 1t is a travesty on our
civilization how some Of the
young colored boys and girls act
in church. Some are high school
students and some have parents
who sit in the Amen corner,
and their CHILDREN in the rear,
acting like monkey. Our people,
we fear, have not the highest
conception as to christianity.

are far off yet, but they are on
their march to glory. But let
US not become angered for our
shortcomings and mlsconception
Of things, but see our errors and
mend them. The writer's heart
bIeeds when he sees these bad,
oarbaric things done by young
boys and girls, surrounded here
by high schools, colleges, and
universities. That is our mis- :

attention to things detrimental
to the race and humanity, and

Hiqh School Boys Make Good.

High school players from Salt Lake
City played a good game in the line.
Shores broke through and blocked two
kicks and WINNER played a fine de-
fensive game"

OF a game played there last Saturday
between the Los Angeles High school
and the University of Southern Cali
fornia. The Los Angeles High won by
a score of IL TO 0. The University of
California is the team Harvey Holmes
coached for q number of years, but
which has a new coach this year. From
the above it would appear that Salt
Lake boys can make good wherever
they go. and Los Angeles is to be con-
graduated for securing two such star
players Yet il is hard on the Salt
Lake High at the present time, which
is badly in need of just such men as

TY COBB MAKES
PULL|AM HAPPY
National League President
EnthuSeS Over FeatS of
Georgian.

Harry Pulliam was the happiest man
in all Detroit at the close of the Tiger
Cub series.
The president of the National League,
while joyous over the victory of his
league in the first game of the world
series, is just enough of a good red
blooded baseball fan TO be happy over
other things beside the mere result. Ty
Cobb was the cause of much of his
happiness.
I've heard it said that this young
man is a reckless base runner, and as l
have not had the opportunities l want
ed TO watch him that 1 might satisfy
myself. l have always had that idea.
They said he was wild on the base
lines-and lucky. Well. I've seen enough
TO satisfy me that he is one of the
wonders of baseball
He isn't a reckless base runner, nor
does he get his results by luck.
TN today's game 1 saw him at his
best in the eighth inning. He hunted
and beat Browns throw TO first. Then
he rounded second when Rossman hit
to center. / saw him stop just as Hoff-
man fielded the ball. He waited until
he caught Hoffman's eye, and as soon
as he saw the Outfielder look at him
he made a false step as though going
back to second. Hoffman threw to that
bag. and he no sooner let the ball slip
from his fingers than Cobb dashed to
third. He had completely fooled the
center fielder and had gotten away with
one of the prettiest plays it has ever
been my luck to see in baseball.
Il hand it to Mr.. Cobb. He's Won
der. He's a genius on the bases, and
he can certainly hit the ball"

This cement portion of the new Van
derbilt cup course is twenty-eight feet
wide, crossing all interseeting railroads
and highways overhead by cement via
ducts. These viaducts and bridges are
the most expensive parts of the new
motor highway. They must be fully
twenty feet above the level of the in
tersecting dirt and railroads. The ap-
proaches must be tapered down so that
the racing cars can take them at full
speed All of the turns on the cement
road are sylnmetrically rounded and
banked, permitting a maintenance of

After leaving the grand stand the

joins what is known as the Round
Swamp road which runs north, on
slight grade. TO the beginning OF the
PIainview road. Following this road
the car continues on north to its inter
section with new extension of the

course bends directly west, around
what has been dubbed the "Flatiron
Turn" The cars have a very speedy
stretch. nearly all down grade. west

almost as level as that of the cement
