THE A. C. ELECTION.

The recent election at the meeting
OF the Board of Trustees of the Ag-
ricultural College in Salt Lake city
resulted practically as forecasted by
this paper in its issue OF last Satur-
day President Lorenzo NJ Stohl was
elected without opposition. He has the
implicit confidence OF the entire board,
and this added honor comes after hav-
ing served In that capacity faithfully
and well. We congratulate him on his
election. and bespeak for him the
same good support and achievements
in the future that have characterized
his past labors for the college.

that he has performed the service

his unselfish ness when II comes to

when there is no salary attached, but
not so with Fleming. He has never

LEAGUE MAGNATE
SCORES IN COURT

Byron Bancroft Johnson, president
of the American League, outpitched
John M. Ward in yesterdays game at
the United States Circuit Court, in
New York. Judge Hand, the umpire,
called the game on account of dark
ness, after a batting rally by John
son had given him the lead of four
runs to one, with Ward having an
other turn at Sat The game will
continue this morning
Putting the matter in a nutshell,
Wards prospective claims against the
American League executive for dam
ages for alleged libel, and SANDER have
considerably .dwindled within the past
couple of days. Ward had brought
suit for $4,000 on five separate counts,
$4,000 for each. At the conclusion
of an examination of Mr.. Johnson
yesterday, Judge Hand threw out four
of the five charges. He ruled that
only the count of SANDER still holds.
and further ruled that in case of con-
viction, Mr.. Ward could expect no
more than SO, O00
The prosecution bases a Islander
charge on an alleged statement signed
by Ban Johnson which terms John M.
Ward a "trickster." This angle of
the case has not yet been threshed out.
Mr.. Johnson will try to prove that he
knew nothing of the interview. He
declared yesterday, when shown the
signed statement, that the signature
was a forgery.

the seventh he connected with Browns

never lost an opportunity to send

made Brown look like a novice At
ter every clinch Murphy was the first
to take advantage Of the opening, and
before Brown could block the punch
he would rip over his favorite upper
cut. 1t was in the fifth round that
Murphy gave Browns hackers

with a hard smash to the jaw.
Brown was strong and fought back
hard, occasionally sending Murphy to
the ropes, but he was unable to find

the bout without mark on his face.
