STRIKERS GET AID

TaXicab Company Manager
Charged With Operating
Unlicensed Cabs.

With the law as an ally. the striking
taXicab drivers are confident they will
win over the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany, from whose employ they resigned
because Of their grievance against the
new wage scale. Jeremiah Tickling
general manager OF the company. has
been summoned to court to answer a
charge of operating cabs without license.
The vehicles in question are not tax
icabs, but the Old-style cabs. which were
pressed into service TO take the place
of those deserted by the men.
The walk-Out, which was, at the out
set, unique, because of the formal and
almost deCOrous manner. in which il
was iuauEurated, has become a ''model
strike" by the evident intention Of the
drivers 10 take advantage of every legal
resource before resOrtinE to any other
method of bringing the company 10

SPORT ZOOLOGY
BY w. D. RISHEL.

Each year as the time rolls around for
the like riders TO take their place in the
limelight the cry goes up that there VIII
be 10 riders. One year ago, when IT was
clsNled there would be great scarcity OF
riders the writer predicted that there
would be more than enough to make UP
hard fight for the money hung up IN
purses. Last season saw as many riders
as there has ever been in the city and
the races as a whole were as good as they
had ever been. The riders made more
money in Salt Lake last year than in any
previous year In its cycling history, and
the only reason the crowds fell down was
the fight between rival tracks, principally
in conflicting dates. That these riders had
class is evident from the fact that more
records were broken than in any previous
year in the history of racing in Salt Lake

will be i'm Salt Lake the coming season IS
hard to predict. but one thing Is certain
and that is that there will be plenty of
riders to make the racing interesting

Strategy

BY. DIR. JAMES NATSMITF
Father of the Game

Versatility Of attack is a basketball
asset. the net results of which are
equaied in no other sport. As the sea-
son is especially long, it behooves play
ers to pile up a lengthy list of plays in
order that opponents may not learn
your formations within the first few
minutes of a game and profit thereby.
In arriving at that end. it is not neces-
sary TO load the players memories with
half-learned combinations of cOmpli-
Gated make. Plays may be switched
about, the start being the same in many
instances, but the finish bewilderingly
different from other formations, thus
aiding in confusing opponents
In following out the plan of building
plays over each other I am presenting
herewith a new center combinati0n the
difference from the one presented pre-
viously being that I'm this instance the
center receives the ball under the bas-
ket on the same side of the floor from
which the forward throws it. In the
first center play which I used the pass
was directed diagonally across the gym
nasium to the center. As result when
opponents see the starting evolutions
Of the later combination after the first
has been used their defense will nat
urally be directed to the wrong sife
of the goal This gives the center a
comparatively free toss for the goal

NO TRUE SPORTS
IN THIS COUNTRY
English Press SneerS at Ameri-
can PeopIe-1here
Be Reasons.

London. Jan. s.-"Engiish fair play"
was never more clearly exemplified than
by the appended excerpt from the current
number of one Of the most widely circu-
lated Of British week1ies. Americans will
smile at the references to Mace, Dun
raven. Hackenschmidt and the "Yanks'
sneer. The paper says:
That Dorando was Kissed during his
recent race with Hayes in New York was
only what was to have been expected,
while for the correspondents there to ca
bic over here the information that the
Italians victory was an unpopular one
was quite unnecessary
of course II was unpopular. The fact is
and there is no use in blinking it-that
the 'Yanks' are not spoTtsmen, as we IN
derstand the term; They are sporting
men,, which is a different thing.
1T has been so all along. Jem Mace
the first English pugilist to go over there,
had to quit the country for fear Of losing
his life. How Gotch treated Hacken-
schmidt the other day is matter Of COM
mon knowledge.
Lord Dunraven was forced to decline
to race any more with them because Of
the fraud and chicanery with which he
was confronted. At Henley on several oc-
casions when they have sent crews to
compete against our crews similar unfair
tactics have been resorted to.
And these are but a few instances ont
of many that might be cited. Why is it,
The answer is not easy, but il seems to
be due to the OvermasteTing passion dis
played by Americans for getting there
at any cost.
." Win by fair means if you can. but in
any case win is their motto. OF honor
or chivalry in sport they know nothing
Does anybody suppose, for instance. that
If any but American competitor had
won the Marathon by fluke from poor,
piucky little Dorando at the London
Olympic games he would have decided to
claim the award? OF course he vouldn't
Yet the Americans saw nothing out OF
place in it.
'The only thing that can be said in ex-
tenuation is that they show the same un-
spOrtsmanlike spirit when competing
among themselves they do in interna-
tiOnal contests; witness the disgraceful

No. occupying a place in front of the
goal, and No. I. not being I'm the play,
plays tag with his guard as indicated.
In the plays in which the center does
the throwing for goals, that player
must be exceptionally fast upon his feet,
for he has a hard duty to perform in
getting from the point where he jumps
for the ball, to the basket, which must
be done with greater speed than the for
wards need use. For instance, suppos-
ing that he only gets half way to the
basket when the ball reaches the point
called for in the diagram. the sphere
cannot escape falling into the hands of
one of the opposing guards or going
out of bounds. If the forward is COM
PEELED to wait for the center TO occupy
his position under the goal. the former
will be the object of the attack Of both
the opposing guard and center, thus ef-
fectuaIly breaking up the play at its
start.
The beauty of this series Of forma-
tons to my notion, is that they draw
opponents away from the spot from
which the scoring is attempted. Take
the current formation as an example.
The forward handling the ball draws his
guard away from the objective point,
while the forward on the other side of
the floor performs the same feat The
center should have no trouble I'm dOdC-
ing his individual opponent. thus Civ
ing an unhampered toss for a basket.
The guards naturally eudeavor to
stick to their forwards and as con-
sequence the immediate vicinity Of the
goal is deserted.
Even though the play goes wrong at
the start by the opposing center geu-
ting the jump against the player Of the
