STATE LEAGUE RACE IS
GETTING HOT AT CLOSE

AT a meeting of the Utah State
league directors to be held this week a
change in the schedule will undoubted-
~ be made so as 10 bring Murray and
the Oceidentals at Walkers field Sun
day instead Of at Murray Saturday
as called for in the schedule. The
change will send Salt Lake to ogden.
Sunday
Owing to the hard fight for first
place being made by the Occidentals
il is neld that an Occidental Murray
game at Walkers field Sunday would
be the biggest drawing card in the
league and that the league finances
would be accordingly benefited.
From the crowd that turned
out last Sunday to see the two teams
play IL looks as il the game this sun
day win draw bigger than before.
The only objection to the change is
on the part of the Murray directors
who claim that the change will hurt
Murray's chance OF winning the pen
nant by playing from home. on this
score the Shelter city fans are resting
easy, as out OF the five games remain
ing on the schedule the Occidentais
must win them all 10 win out
Manager Mike Donovan of the Salt
Lake club has landed two Rock Springs
players who viii come in very handy.
One is Frank Settle a catcher and
Indian Smith. who is said to be a whirl-
wind in the box.

WILL ATTEMPT NIGHT
BALL AT CHICAGO PARK

Chicago. Aug. Exchanging night
into day was enacted last night at the
new American league baseball
grounds and proved unique demon
strati0n.
Electricians fairly swarmed around
the park throughout the evening, and
ten powerful lights, representing p
600. 900 candle power, were turned on,
with the result that night became as
day under their powerful glare.
The full force of the lighting plant
was not turned on owing 10 the in
completeness of the apparatus, only
one-half of the twenty lamps being in
service. The lamps are operated IN
pairs. Ten of them are stationed on
the roof of the new park, while a like
number are operated from the
ground.
The first actual attempt TO put the
lighting plant to practical use will be
made Thursday night, when the Chi
cago La Crosse league will open IFS
season with the Illinois A. c. team.
Should the experiment prove success
full the first baseball match will be
played Saturday night.

following:
"HE palace fans are happy,
You can tell that by their noise,

And the kids can now rejoice.
It sent a thrill Of pleasure
Into all around the track.
Do you know what made them boiler?
Why. the Salt Lake Swede's come

To beat a younger man.

The bluff that's made by Mac"
For we're sure there's none can beat

And know our Swede is square;
