BASEBALL SEASON OPENS
ON SUNDAY

Sunday will be the opening OF the
baseball season In ogden, when the
Helena league team will meet the col
ored Occidentals from Salt Lake City.
The game promises TO be closely con-
tested as the two teams have clever
players. The Occldentals played the
Ogdens last year and gave an exhibi-
ton of baseball of league quality.
The games to be played between
now and the opening OF the regular
league are for the purpose OF testing
the baseball enthusiasm in Ogden. III
the old-time interest is displayed, Man
ager Huston Of the Helena team VIII
propose to the league that league
games be regularly played In Ogden.
In case he is successful In advocating
this departure from the league sched-
ule. Ogden, &c neutral grounds, VIII
see all the teams contesting for the
pennant In the Intermountain league.
This move for baseball in Ogden
should be encouraged.

REPLY TO "NEWs COMMENT"
Ogden, Utah, April IS. 1909.

Ogden, Utah, April Is, 1909.
Editor EXaminer:-The Deseret
News, in its editorial comment does
not give justice in quoting me as say
ing that the social evil is neces-
sary evil If they had published the
answer to the w. c. r. u. in full it
would sound entirely different
to the misconstrued meaning. /
said, 'As to the Mormons. l
wish to say that this evil is not a nee
essary evil, still it appears to be the
attitude of the outside world to take
this position, that 1t Is, and as long
as this idea prevails it will be i'm
possible to eradicate the curse which
Is upon the earth" The DeSeret News
of December 21st, 1905. made the fol
lowing comment on the social evil,
which is entirely different to its edi-
torlal OF April 18th, of this year. IL
said:
We have not denied the existence
of evils here, nor have we maintained
that in mixed community like ours
they could be entirely suppressed.
They have been in the world almost
from time immemorial. They have
followed the march of that which IS
called civilization, down through the
centuries, They are to be found in
every city and town, not only In the
United States. but throughout Christ
endom. where people of various faiths,
professions and occupations freely
congregate Salt Lake City is no ex-
ception to this state of things, eX
cept that the evils complained of are
thAon in nj hcr MI
in many parts of the world. We need
not enter into the question Of how
they were brought here and who es-
tablished and supported them al.
though that might be made a strong
factor In the sum of the question,
The point to be considered is how
they shall be restricted. seeing that
1t can not be expected that they shall
be altogether eradicated. Are We in
favor Of the enforcement OF the laws
and regulations against them? Most
decidedly we are. The files Of this
paper will prove beyond question thai
we have urged that course. But there
should be a steady and persistent
course pursued in regards TO thonl
and not merely a sudden flaming
forth every now and then, for purposes
Interior to the great object in view
This spasmodic outburst Of verbal
virtue and virulent denunc!atlon Of
public officials Is of a theatrical char
acter, and blazes out while Tie cur
tain is up and goes quickly out when
the curtain is let down. 1t Is period
ioal and not continuous II serves aa
n sudden sensation for the pulpit and
the DreSS and then masses by like the
sudden flash of a meteor. We join

A movement is on foot in Russia and

the Austrians TO erect another tablet

An effort is being made to collect
money TO bring Modjeska's body to
Warsaw for burial, and il this is per-
mitted there will be public funeral
There is doubt, however. wheth.
er the Russian authorities will permit
this. "a Modjeska was expelled from
Russia several years ago when she
was about to make public appear
ance in this city. II burial in War

AID SPORTS .fthe
DUGAN FORCED TO
RIDE IN AMERICA,
(RY Ed Cnrlnw 4

New York. April 16.-Eddie Dugan,
the clever little rider, will once more
be seen in the saddle In this country.
The young lad, who is the equal of
any jockey OF the present day, was
engaged by Harry p Whitney TO ride
the latter's horses In England, and
took trip to the other side to fulfil
his contract When he arrived over
there the stewards of the English
Jockey club refused TO grant him a
license and he was forced to return.
The principal cause for their dis
pleasure was the news of the rough
tactics pursued by Dugan last year,
which brought him under the ban of
the Jockey club With the English
felG closed to him, the capable jock
ey was obliged to come back to the
scenes Of his former triumphs and try
to WIN himself back to favor. Dugan
is now getting down to riding weight
end will be at Plmllco when that
course opens on April "a In all prob
ability he will ride the horses that
August Belmont Will ship to that meet
ing, and he will also be free lance.
1t is possible that Whitney Will
ship a few thoroughbreds to the south
ern track. and these, of course, will be
ridden by Dugan. When the metro
politan season opens Dugan will wear
The silks of Whitney
The event that is the real cause of
all Dugan's troubles happened at
Gravesend on September %. In that
race he rode Shadow Glance, and
while coming down the stretch he cut
across the field and caused n miSup.
In which Dial Plate and Miramer fell
with their riders. Yorke and Smith.
1t was by the narrowest escape that
the boys got off with their lives.
The offense was so bold that the
stewards suspended Dugan for the
balance of the year. The rider then
went to the coast. and in the few
months that he rode there was in hot
water the best part OF the time.

ever may be the motive for drawing
attention to them. But with the mixed
population in Salt Lake City. II Is not

possible dimension"
Why, this change OF front?
You can readily see from the fore
going quotation from the Deseret
Evening News that they are taking
an entirely different position today:
They admit that 1t will be impossible
to eradicate the evil from Salt Lake
City and recommend in place OF scat
tcrlng and diffuslng them. to keep
them in the smallest possible space.
Their argument in its Issue of Dec.
2i, 1905. is exactly in line with the
mayor of Denver
