suggested to us the 'criss-cross,' a

tics today known as a double pass.

but he certainly was the first at
Princeton to foresee its great power.
Unfortunately the other coaches re-
jeeted his suggestion, deeming the
play too revolutionary and freakish.
There is one famous play. however,
that am sure fairly may be credited
to Woodrow Wilson as Its inventor,

isn't It?
The subject OF this rather odd tale
of the ring IL big Ed Kennedy. ex-
amateur heavyweight champion OF the
Pacific coast, idol OF the Olympic club
of San Francisco. and regarded by
many as a genuine white hope.
when Ferris Hartman and his COM
nanv of fun-makers last showed In
Gan Francisco, one OF the members
of its male chorus was big, finely
proportioned youth, with a clean-cut
countenance and black, curly hair.
He possessed rich, resonant BARI
tone voice, so physically and vocally
he was considered an ideal chorus
man.
But the stage palled on him. He
longed for more excitement. The
chance to get II came to him while
he was not looking for IL. Everybody
was talking about white hopes,
therefore II was only natural that a
friend OF the chorus man, because OF
the latter's size, should spring the
subject.
Look here, Ed. you are big. strong,
active and have nerve-or you
wouldn't be n chorus man. Why don't
YOU turn white hope2"
The question rang the bull's-eye.
Ed Quit the chorus. Joined the Olympic
club, took up boxing and at the last
tournament won the championship OF
the Pacific coast About two months
ago he entered the professional ranks,
securing draw with veteran Joe
Long on the night OF his debut. His
next battle was with Al Williams,

He came here some time ago from
Texas and stayed long enough to nnd
out that some other club beside De

anyway for they didn't have suit
that was big enough for him.
The big guy was a hard-snelled
crab when he came here. He was
srube as green as they get and he
knew 1t. His big awkwardness made
him embarrassed. He shut up ike q

besides yes and no while he was here
But this big fellow is now looked
upon as the man who may upset Inc

game. He faced Nap Rucker, who al

Rucker held them to six hits, but
Tesreau kept Brooklyn down to five
and won 2-1. The second game was
easy for Mathewson.

All the teams in the American
league were resting or travelling yes
.erday. The western teams were al
rome awaiting the arrival or those
from the east. Today the last ;nva'
sion Of the elite clubs begins.
The Tigers are favored with Con
mic Mack's bunch as an opener. Just
for old times sake there will be a
fine scrap between the leaders OF the
second division and the runners up
In the first.
Both teams have had many changes
this season and there will be some
new faces on each aggregation. But
the spirit of the fans will be the
same. It's Detroit against Philadei-
phia. Jennings against Mack, no mat
ter who the men who play may be.
Among the new comers on both
teams, two outfielders will attract the
greatest attention. The Tigers new
man is Veach; the Athletics, Muir

Veach has shown himself TO Tiger
fans and has made good already as a
brilliant debutant. IL he can keep ii

cording to reports, Is in beating out

IL he keeps up the gait he will end the
season with higher percentage than

PROVO. March S1.-Thet active de-

In the Tintic district this spring is the
firm belief OF the Provo and Tintic
stockholders. David Evans. who holds
iarge block OF this stock, and probably
enough to control. has given assurance
'hat stockholders meeting will be
called for sometime In May. when the
question will be taken up and voted on
as TO the policy TO be pursued There Is
no doubt among the holders here and in
Ilntic on the result OF the action to be
taken At The meeting OF the stockhold-
ers, az all who are interested in the
company express themselves very much
IN favor OF making a vigorous attempt to
uncover valuable minerals that some

p. Much OF tho Plutus stock is held by
whom have purchased II for an invest
ment and all express the utmost confl-
dence In the property. From the north
end OF the property much valuable ore
has been extracted In the past. and the
last work done on the ground was In this
part OF the property, on what was known
as the old Tetro ground. The Tetro
Mining company was absorbed by the
Plutus three years ago. and after taxi
lug over this ground development work
was carried on for time and some ore
was taken out. but litigation and other
causes put stop to the work. Since
then the law suits have been disposed
Of, the company being successful In each
case.
There Is nothing now TO hinder active
development and the stockholders are
clamoring for work TO start On the
strength OF the talk among those Inter
ested, and the word sent to Utah by
Mr. Evans, great deal OF the stock
offered on the exchanges has been taken
by Provo and Tintic people. mostly by
those already stockholders. The opinion
here and in 1'intic is general that Plutus
Is the making OF one of the greatest
mines in the state, and for that rea-
son those who have the stock are holding
1t as nest egg for future dividends.
