5, in a Well-Played
Contest.
!:

The Salt Lake high school baseball
team defeated the Granite team Friday
afternoon on the high school diamond,
by a score OF 10 to q. The game was full
OF features throughout and the crowd of
rooters lined up each side OF the
grounds was kept continuously in an en-
thusiastic uproar. The playing at times
was ragged, but considerable clean and
fast ball was played by both teams.
The work of the pitchers Of both teams
was exceedingly good, as hits were few
and strikeouts were numerous. Matt
GALLAGHER was in the box the first half
and held his opponents down In great
shape. Although the Granite runs were
scored during his pitching. they were not
due TO errors, but to nonsupport. His
team mates were up in the air and the
Granite players scored their runs I'm ono
inning. Will Trescdcr relieved GALLAGHER
and pitched shutouv ball the last four
innings During This time he struck out
eight players, three Of whom were
bcnched in the eighth.
The high school now holds tho lead
with a perfect score. while the Granite
team dropped down 10 second place, with
two out of three games TO its credit.
The lineup was as follows:

UNCLE SAM TAXES X HAND
Asks President Diaz to Cancel Tia
 Juana Race Track Concession

A dispatch from Washington to the San Diego Union says the state de- partment has made formal request to the Mexican government that it cancel the concession recently grant, ed certain Americans for a race track and sporting headquarters at Tia Jua- na.
 The department has suggested to Mexico that the enterprise is purely American and would constitute a nuisance and a possible disturbance of the good relations between the two governments. Intimation was made that lot of disorderly characters would congregate near the boundary line and that policing of such Ameri- cans on Mexican soil would be sure to result in brawls and international disputes.
 After the state department had forwarded the request, three repre- sentatives of the Tia Junana project one of them named Alex Reynolds of San Diego, appeared at the de- partment and requested its aid in advancing the scheme. The Mexican government had refused to permit a race track to be built within two miles of the American line without the consent of the United States These men asked the state depart ment to give such consent and were greatly surprised when informed that the state department had taken steps to have the entire concession nulli- fled.
 The protest against the Tia Juana project was signed by prominent citi- zens of San Diego, Los Angeles, Riv- erside and other cities. The depart. ment was impressed by the repre- sentation made that the project was a scheme to circumvent the laws o California. The principal reason fol making the request of Mexico how ever, was the danger of internationa disputes arising from local disorders
