Crowd and Exciting Finish Is
Furnished by Losing
Team

The match bowling series between
the Pommerys and the Oldfields at
Morleys Broadway alleys attra ted an
unusual crowd of devotees of the game,
and they were rewarded with one of
the most exciting contests that has
been rolled on local alleys in a long
time. The Pommerys lost two of the
three games, but as the result was
conditioned upon total pins they won
the match by a margin of forty-eight
1ins. The stakes for which they played
was a banquet with a full wine course.

cafe by the losers.
The winning team, the Pommerys,
was captained jointly by McHale and
Mckenzie, the former representing
the Brunswick Bake -Collender COM
pany and the latter being the resident
agent for the Pommery people. The
losing team was .captained by Barney
Odfield. After the result was figured

team was the best that he offered a
side bet for return match, and 1t
was accepted, and the two teams will
meet again at the same place Friday
night.

goods" This delivering the goods Is
By no means as easy as 1t seems, and
many really good actors have tried
to do it and failed, where persons of
far less intellectual attainments have
succeeded. The reasons for this are
found in the somewhat different class
who compose the audiences and in the
altered conditions under which the ac-
tor works. The legitimate actor has
two or three hours in which to develop
his character and present his situa-
tions; the vaudeville player must do
IL in twenty or thirty minutes. With
the limited amount of time at his COM
mand it is absolutely necessary that
the performer should catch and hold
the attention of his audience from the
moment of his entrance to the termina-
ton of his act. and it is this require
ment that makes the work so difficult.
According to Wilbur Wright, the fly
ing machine was not dependent upon
the gasoline engine. 1T has undoubt-
edly helped us, but if they had not been
developed we could have flown with the
steam engine. There are steam engines
built now sufficiently light to enable me
to fly with them.'-Popular Mechanics

Scores of Persons Weep with Joy as

Dangerous Underground
Prison
LBy Assoclated Press.l

SALT LAKE CITY, March 10.-After
enduring the horrors of an under
ground prison with death at their ell
bows" for fifty hours, George and
Jerry Peterson were dragged through
an 1S-inch hole to freedom and safety
at o'clock tonight.
Scores of persons, including the wives
and neighbors of the imperiled men.
sighed with relief or wept for joy as
the two were blindfolded, wrapped in
blankets, refreshed with hot coffee
and bundled into a wagon to be taken
home.
On Monday afternoon the roof of the
drain tunnel on the st. Patrick prop
erty, four miles east of Murray, gave
way and a huge mass of earth blocked
the passage 100 feet from it's mouth.
The Petersons were on the wrong side
of the cave.
Warned-.by previous experience, they
had equipped themselves with long
iron pipe two inches in diameter,
which they kept ever at hand. They
drove this slender tube through the
debris to obtain ventilation and un-
dertook to burrow out.
Their digging was worse than use
less, for the loosened earth ran down
faster than they could remove it. AT
families and their predicament was
soon learned.
Many Aid Relief Party
Ranchmen by the score and a few
practical miners formed relief party,
which set at work and labored heroi-
cally night and day in the dangerous
ground.
The prisoners, although supplied with
air through the providential pipe, were
weak from hunger. chilled by the wa
ter which had risen to their knees
and terrified by boulders which, fall
ing farther back in the tunnel, threat
ened them with instant burial under
Trash caves.
Word of their peril had passed
throughout the valley and it brought,
among others, NJ. M. Johnson, chief en-
gineer of the Newhouse mining staff,
who took charge of the work of res
cue.
Timber after timber was set into
place as if intended to stand for all
time. Daylight finally burst into the
tunnel prison through meager open
ing. Johnson told the Petersons to
stick their feet, out:
Muddy boots appeared in the open
ing. and in a moment George Peter
son was being brushed and Rugged by
his friends. Jerry was rescued in the
same manner.
