A DESPERATE NEGRO
Fired Four Shots at the Mayor o
Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala. April 14.-Loman
Meadows, desperate negro, apparently
insane. fired four shots point blank at
Mayor London Of Goodwater. Ala,
this morning. The bullets went wide of
their mark. The negro fled, pursued by
a large posse. The negro fired twice at
his pursuers, but did not hit any OF
them. The desperate black returned to
the city, and rushing into store pleaded
with those present to save him from
lynching. Meadows is in jail under a
heavy guard. He is desperate charac-
ter and often figured in the police court
and was yesterday fined by the mayor.
for which it is believed he attempted to
take revenge.

Y. M. C. A. BASKETBALL
CALL FOR CANDIDATES

The physical department OF the Y. NJ.
c. A. has issued a call for basketball
candidates. The first practice will take
place tonight. For the first time in
number of years the association coaches
do not see in sight a championship
team. Some of last years star men
are undecided as to whether or not
they will play this year. and if they
do not, new material will have to be
developed OF last years team, Met
calf, Hammond, Hoffman, Bloemquist
and Gum are undecided to whether
or not they will play this year, and
GrundfOr and Wilcox are out OF town.
Highly promising material is, how
ever, showing up and it is quite pos
sible that Carter and Gregory, former
University of Chicago players, will try
out for the team. Gregory is a big
man, and, with his basketball expe-
rlence. ought TO make a star center
Carter is a Well-knOWn player and rep
resented the Chicago University on its
championship teams. There are also
one or two experienced men from the
Chicago high schools, and these, with
Hoisington, last years great guard,
and Grundfor who will return to the
city in December, will make a strong
bunch of candidates for this seasons

UTAH ELEVEN IS
WORKING FOR FORT
Soldiers Game Saturday Will
Be One of Years Tough
Battles.

The University Of Utah football squad
was out early Wednesday afternoon prac-
ticing hard for the coming contest Satur-
day with the Fort Douglas eleven. The
boys have recovered from the effects OF
the Miners game. and viii be in better
condition for the coming Saturdays game
than they have been at any time this
year. From the showing made BY the
team of last year from the post which
was defeated by the university. Il to o.
the boys think they will have as hard a
contest as the Miners game. and expect
to have to play ball all the time.
Benere Grant who was held out OF the
Miners game by the faculty, IS practicing
hard in order to be in condition for the
Soldiers game. He will probably play
the first half, and If his condition per-
mits he will probably play the second
half Conville, the star fullback of last
years team. will probably be found IN
the center position Of the team for the
coming game. Jack LOell, the present
fullback, is an excellent man at the cen
ter position, where he played during one
year on the University of Michigan team.
On account of COnville being out Of con-
dition, however, LOell will be retained al
fullback and COnviile viii take the line
position

BUENA VISTA NOTES

Thus far the scheme of having seven
races daily has failed, but it has been
through no fault of the association. Seven
races were carded for Tuesday and also
for yesterday, but scratches and other
conditions caused one event to be de-
clared off eacn day. On Tuesday Ethon
frightened out the others that were
named to go against him, and a conbl-
nation of circumstances caused the fivs
and a half furlong selling affair to be
dropped from the program. There were
only six entries for the race aad couple
of these, it was said were scratched
away from Mary F. Dredkin fas report
ed lame. and one of the few that re
NAMED to go was. according to talk which
reached the judges, left in simply with
the idea of taking Mary T. away from
the claiming route Under the circum-
stances it was deemed the right thing
to declare the race off.
1t looks now as if the management OF
the club would be safe in having Single
TONS name engraved on the cup which is
TO go to the jockey having " greatest
number Of winning mounts at the meet
ing. BY putting La Dextra over in the
opener yesterday he secured a lead OF
four points over Fischer. his nearest com
petitor for riding honors, and while it is
not impossible. it is highly improbable
that Fischer can close the gap in the
remaining two days of the meeting.
Paul Albertson, one of the principal
stockholders in the Butte track, and Emil
Hansen, another Of the best known mem
bers of Butte's sporting colony, arrived
yesterday morning to be in at the close
of the Buena Vista meeting. They were
trying to pick the winners yesterday with
varying success.
c. P. Dye, owner of Dorothy Ann and
other horses, was ordered away from the
track yesterday for accusing Jockey VIII

OGDEN MEETING OPENS.
Junction City to Have Better Glass
Than Before Offered.

That there will be more than suf-
ficIent horses for the Ogden race meet
ing. which begins Saturday and will
run for thirteen days, is demonstrated
by the fact that out Of SO7 stalls, ap-
plications have been received for 265.
More than a score of horses were added
to the list yesterday, among the own
ers being Phil King and J. E. Moore,
as well as five others. Not only will
there be an abundance of horses, but
the racers will be of a class that in
sures the filling of the numerous purse
races and handicaps scattered through
the program prepared by Earl Nc
Quaide.
Every effort has been made to get
the track into good shape for the COM
ing meet and the owners who daily
are working their horses over it say
that the course is the best and safest
half mile track in the west.
Entries for the first days racing Sat
urdaY will be taken at Buena Vista
the day before, as we'll as in ogden.
The Ogden meet has received an en-
thusiastic reception from horsemen
quartered in Salt Lake, the good
weather and attractive races offered
resulting in keeping many stables here
which il was thought at first would
ship directly to Florida or Mexico. The
class of horses this fall is such as to
make it certain that no one stable will
have things its own way in the handi-
cans.

POST ELEVEN WILL HAVE
MANY HACKERS SATURDAY

Another stiff workout was given the
Fort Douglas eleven yesterday in prepara-
ton for the game Saturday with the uni
versity. The game has aroused the fight
ing spirit of the Fifteenth, and the team
will be backed on Cummings field Sat
Urday by the entire regiment.
For the past week cheering rehearsals
have been in order and the army yell
will be much in evidence at the game
The soldiers are freely offering even mon
ely on the outcome of the game, and the
team will trot upon the field with every
encouragement
AS well as the roofing corps, the regi-
mental band will be in evidence. In prac-
tice the soldiers have been drilled in
fierce taclSling, and they will enter the
game determined to wipe out the IL to 0
score of last year. In Mulcahy, the post
team claims a punter who will outshine
all kiekers on western gridirons.
Despite the fact that the university will
play Conville, the High school coach and
former Crimson captain, the post team
is confident of victory. At any rate, fol-
lowers of the game are assured contest
of much class The three officers in the
lineup have succeeded in perfecting some
West Point plays and a game of old and
new football can be counted on

What's What in Sports
All the Time
SLIGHT DUMPING
FOR FORM hackers
Ponies Running for the Purses
Mark Closing Day of
Racing.

With but two heavily played favOrites
finishing first under the wire yesterday
the talent got a slight humping at the
races. From the excited yells that greet
ed the pulling up TO the front Of outsid-
ers, however. It was seen that someone
had tickets TO casa. The play and the
crowd were both good and one OF the
closing days of the meeting was marked
by repeated rushes On sure things that
kept the bOOkies In the air.
La DeXtra, aided by poor exhibition
from Galtor, took the first race and start
ed the card off with a strong favorite
in front. Neither Galter nor Rey FL To
var showed their expected speed while
Good Money placed with lengths to spare,
The first surprise came in the second
race when No Quarter jumped off IN
front and was never headed, winning at
10 TO l, although Ravaria, the favorite,
closed strongly, Inclement dellghtlng
many by showing.
Another form upset came in the third
race when Aks-Ar-Ben shot out to the
front in the last sixteenth and won with
speed to spare, although just getting up
to nip Little Buttercup at the wire.
Captain Hacketts Hannah Louise came
back to her usual form in the fourth race
and won first money, despite wise tips
on Charley Doherty and Calves. A bump
on the north turn made DOherty quit cold,
and the same cause stoT ped Calves a lit
tie. Judge Cabiniss and Calves closed
strong, but could not stop the fleeing
Louise.
Charlie Baine stood out in the fiftA race
and won as such. discOunting his field
by several pounds Cigariighter. touted
strong as the place horse, made good
while Rather Royal could not get up for
better than show.
The last RAGS at seven furlongs demon
strated that mile horse is better than
a three-quarter animal at seven furlongs.
Mabel Hollander and Aquiline, both Of
whom were played savagely, were each
caught shy by Gretchen G.. who simply
unfinished the firing field by lengths to
give away. Mabel Hollander placed ahead
of Aquiline, bus the beOkies got the best
of the race
Today and Friday promise two interest
ing cards with big crowds assured.

son of having pulled Dorothy Ann in her
race Of the day before and falling to sub
stantiate the ugly charge.
Charlie Doherty, one OF the speediest
horses at the track and one of the most
frequent winners, was put out of bust
ness in the running of the fifth race, as
he was jumped on and badly cut down
His undoing and the fact that he bumped
Calves, destroying the chances of the lat
ter. may have affected the result of the
race for first money, but this is by 10
means certain. Hannah Louise fully re-
covered from the effect Of the recent
mishap to her, had all her old time speed,
and it is not a sure thing that either
Calves or DaugnerJy could beat her at
five furlongs, even had the race been
truly run one.
The substitution of Sin~leton for shriner
on La DeXtra in the f. race caused a
sudden change Of opinion as to the
chances of Weant's recent purchase, as
reflected in the betting on the race. The
switching Of riders may be all right, but
it would look better if the change were
made before betting began.

will be received at Buena Vista Friday
morning BY Secretary McQUaid as an ac-
commOdation to owners who may desire
