BASEBALL MEN MUST
TRAIN At HIGH SCHOOL
Coach Convill Lays Down Law to
Candidates-Cadet Teams
in Series.

The call made by Coach James o. Con-
viii of the Salt Lake High school for the
track and baseball candidates, two weeks
ago, has been answered by a record turn
out of candidates.
A noticeable feature is the number from
the two lower classes who are showing
up well.
Coach Convill announced Friday that
his baseball men must train il they ex-
pect to make a place on the team. He
said that he could never see where the
boys got the idea that they must train
for football basketball and track and then
swear Off when it comes to baseball.
Providing the four full teams remain
out ali week Coach COnvill will organize
school league and five inning games
will be played daily until the team is
picked.
In order to further the interests of the
Salt Lake High school cadet battalion,
plans are being made for the organization
of company baseball teams.
Frederick w Francis of the Galloway,
Hook & Francis company, has offered a
silver trophy cup to the company winning
the highest number of points in drill and
athletics at the end of the school year.
The various companies are anxious to
begin the organization of baseball teams
and If arrangements can be made a meet
ing for that purpose will be held during
the week. Winners of baseball "EFs'' will
not be permitted to take part in the cadet
games.

MOTOR TRACK
Corporation Organized to Promote
Motor Cycle Raees-Prince
Will be Manager.

Spokane, March 20.-Spokane will have
the fastest and most complete motorcycle
track on the continent if money and
expert builders can carry out the olans
Of a corporation just organized here by
local cyclists headed by r. w. WyricK.
Jack Prince of Los Angeles has been
engaged to begin construction work as
soon as negotiations are closed for a site
in the eastern part Of the city. Wyrick
said Of the project:
THE plans call for a substantial struc-
ture in racetrack building. 1t will be
perfect circle, three laps to the mile,
and with a track incline Of 80 degrees.
The bleachers will occupy a space in the
center and at the upper edge of the track
suitable grand stand will be con-
structed.
1.-THE structure will be pne of the most
up-to-date in the country and experts say
that a speed of 10 miles an hour can
be made in perfect safety SO far as the
track is concerned. The incline will be
a per cent sleeper grade than the cup
track at Los Angeles, which is a model
structure.
I'VE expect to pull off some of the i'm
portant race events in Spokane this and
next year, and we look forward to sew
eral new marks in distances from two 10
twenty-five miles"

One of the main questions so far as
betting on the Nelson Wolgast fight
went was whether or not Wolgast
would be credited with a knockout when
Referee Eddie Smith stopped the fight.
Following precedent sporting editors ali
over the country placed the K. o. sign
in the dope books. Here is Eddie
Smiths statement backing them up:
when the referee or the chief second
of fighter either stops a contest or
throws up the sponge it is done for the
purpose Of saving a man from being
knocked out or seriously injured and
sometimes both. That is the reason
why the contest between Nelson and
Wolgast must be considered knock
out, for while Nelson was still on his
feet and gamely trying to step in close
to his opponent, he was so weak that
his punches lacked any semblance Of
force and he was holding his feet only
through the fact that he has wonder
full balance on them. For the first time
In the Battlers life he was so weak
that the light left jabs OF Wolgast
would push him over, and there was
great danger of serious results had he
been knocked to the floor.

cover, and believe that I gave him the
worst beating any fighter has taken in
many months. I am ready now to take
on any fighter in the world, except JEFF
fries, whom 1 would not fight for any
kind of money or under any circum-
stances. I will fight Johnson after he
is through with his fight with Jeffries,
win, lose or draw, and bet him $4,000 on
the side.''
Manager woodman says that the fight
bears out his statement made after the
previous Langford-F'lynn fight, to the eff
feet that Sam was lacking in condition
that night, and that Langford did not
train for 1t, because he underra ted Flynn.
Woodman says he has two fights prae-
tically closed between now and April 27,
but he does not want to announce these
matches for a few days, nor the loca-
ton, but says they will be fought in the

Referee Backs Up Those Who
Give Wolg0st Knockout Sign

THE promiscuous stopping Of cham
piOnship contests would, in my way OF
thinking, be a very bad thing, for It
would leave a loophOle for INSCRIPTIONS
referees to further the game Of bet
ting clique. In this contest it was either
a case Of stop the affair or allow the
gamest little fellow the game has
known be beaten to the floor and per-
haps injured. while he was too weak
to have any possible chance for a win.
Even though Nelson received the
beating he did, he left the baths the
next night for Chicago like a 2-year-
old, with never a bit Of his pride shaken
or confidence lost in his ability to beat
WOlgast If given another cuance. Nell
son received the worst beating ever
handed to a fighter on this coast"

TRACK IMPROVEMENTS

Work on getting the Salt Palace saucer
track in shape for the summer racing
season starts this week. The track it
self will receive the first attention so
that the riders can work out. The track
has settled during the winter and with
the rough spots smoOthed down it will
conform to the plans making it about a
second faster than last year, when il
was laid new.
After the track is in shape the i'm
prOvements to the seats will be made.
These include a new grandstand with
different arrangement of the seats.
New paint new seating plan, and new
lighting system will do much to add to
the comfort of the fans.
Manager HeagreB has secured Helds

OF the defendants convicted yester-

years off and on.
One of the successful fake wrestling
matches he engineered was the match
at Everett, Wash, about three years
ago, on which Louis Savill of ogden
claims to have lost $4,000.
The plan of action was the same as
worked successfully by the gang all
over the country. Savill was roped in

The match was held in a barn, and
after Willie had won the first fall, and
it looked a cinch, Wille's opponent
