often impairs health and makes the
Christmas festival for them "A time of

accomplished for the world is hardly
more important than what he will ac-
complish in the proper housing of the
masses if his work is successful
Houses are not always homes. but the
lack of decent housing often Is respon-
sible for the lack OF a home. And the
revival of the home is a great national
need.

EUREKA MANAGER

Eureka, July I9-Tooele came down to

of baseball with the Eureka ball tossers.
The score was Is to in favor of the
Miners, the Farmers at no time in the
game having a look in. The Signal Corps
team from Salt Lake was scheduled to
play here, but Manager ShOnts called the
game off. This was done so late in the
week that TOeele did not have any chance
to get their best team together and came
down with a very inefficient bunch.
The game was stopped in the eighth on
account of rain. Score by innings:

Fred ShOnts, manager of the Eureka
team, is figuring on arranging with
ToOele, Mammoth and PaysOn Schedule
that will fill in the season. Park City,
it is thought, will be asked to come into
this league. but it is thought that the dis
lance is too great between the two min
ing camps to make it a paying proposition
or even to allow the two teams to play
even. Eureka is just warmed up for base
ball and a good schedule ought to be a
success.
