npULY,, DoDD. A GOOD SPORT.
Always Has a Team in Bowling n
Baseball League at Spokane.

T. would be a hard matter to deter
mine whether ''Billy" Dodd of Spokane
is best known, in the city of his resi-
depce and throughout the Inland En-
nire as "'BiIly" Dodd, president of
the Dodd Clothing company, or as
"BiUy" Dodd, friend and patron of
all clean. legitimate sports. For in
stance. it is pretty generally known
through the clothing trade of the north
west that he is a pioneer in the bust
ness. and was, long before he moved
his big gents furnishing store from
the northeast corner of Riverside ave
nue and Post street to the southwest
intersection of those two busy thorough
fares Of Spokane. He is agent for the
famous "Gordon" hat.
In Spokane he has been known for
the last twenty years as a booster for
the metropolis of the Inland Empire,
a member Of all the commercial organ
izations and a man of high civic as well
as business ideals. The same policy
that keeps his attention constantly de-
voted, apparently, to his business, has
kept him in touch with every move
ment for municipal reform or for the
exploitation of the gigantic resources
and industries of the Inland Empire.
But there is another side to "Bnly''
Dodd-a side which men who do not
excel him in business ability or in
patriotism do not know so well as do
the baseball fans, or the bowling alley
enthusiasts. These latter will say that
it was the. elimination of "Billy's''
career when, about four years ago, he
put the Dodd Clothing company's base
ball team in the City league at Spo-
kane. And men who don't know the
u1bane merchant in his big store watch
eagerly for the appearance of his team
in the tournaments of the Spokane City
Bowling league each winter. And so
does Chilly" Dodd, He watches the
two teams with all the eagerness of a
boy, and is proud of them and their
triumphs, or depressed at reverses, just
as though he had not put over a score
of years into the strenuous business
life of the Inland Empire. Those years
do not seem to have taken much out
of him.
The Dodd Clothing company win have
a team this year in the Spokane City
league.

lated with the baseball germ. Ralph

QUAKE SALT LAKE
ROCKED The UTAH
CITY SUNDAY MORNING
Last About Half a Minute and Much
Damage Was Done to Property-Kan-
sas Professor Said 1t Appeared 1000
Miles Distant and Similar to the
Costa RIGA Quake.

Salt Lake, Utah, May 22.-The Sun
day morning slumber of this city and
immediate vicinity was disturbed by a
violent rocking of the earth, which
lasted apparently about two seconds, al
though the seismograph at the state
university recorded a disturbance of 80
seconds.
The earthquake was quite sharp and
caused considerable damage to crockery,
chimneys and old adobe houses.
The tremOr was local in extent, being
confined within a radius of so miles.
Slight damage is reported from the
towns of Bingham and Garfield. The
shock occurred at 1928 a. n, and was
followed by two other shocks, one at
S:3S a. m. and the other at 1924. Both
were barely perceptible.
Local scientists say that the shock
was caused by the slipping of a great
fault scarp at the base of the Wasatch
mountains, east of the city.
