u INTERESTED IN
VARIETY OF SPORTS

Football at Big School.

With the close of the football season
each year at the University OF Utah,
interest in athletics Seems to come to
an abrupt end, only TO be revived after
couple of weeks with intense eDthusi-
asm. During the last week the big
gymnasium was filled from morning to
night with men of all grades of ability
and size. There are few men who have
the strength aud speed TO make the
football team, and as the gridiron game
receives all the attention of the
coaches for the first couple of months
of school. the man who is not a great
big strapper is left to sit back and look
on.
When football with all it's post-mor-
TEN is over, dozens of big fellows who
are interested in what are called at
Utah the minor sports, rush to the gym
nasium to take advantage OF the in
struction which is given In q number
of difficult branches Of sport,

125 lads engaged in the various kinds

CHANCE LOOKING FOR

Peerless Leader Wants Coach
Who Can Handle Young
Pitchers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13,-Before Frank
Chance orders the New Yorks to report
for spring practice he expects to sign
veteran catcher who will coach the
pitchers, just as Uncle Wilbert Robin
son handled the Giants curvemen.
Chance began looking over available
men for this important position last
summer, but whether he has made Sc
lection or not is kept secret.
The peerless leader believes that II
ing staff would develop greater
strength, for he says that Robbie prac'
tically made Rube Marquard and de-
veloped other boxmen for McGraw
Chance has several lines ont. IL is said
No doubt Chance would jump at an
opportunity to secure Johnny King
from the Cincinnati Reds If sQch a
. transfer could be made.
King caught for the Cubs under the
p. LIS management and was n superb
backstop. When he began to slow up
.trifle c. w. Murphy traded King TO
Boston and from the Braves John went
to the Reds, for whom he caught many
games this year,
King helped Joe Tinker TO develop
Indian Johnson, also young Packard,
the left handler, but Mt the end OF the
season the FORMER tup cdtCucI @n-
nounced that he would not come back
next year.
AS other National league clubs need
coaches of Kings quality 1t is be-
lieved that IL Tinker should decide to
let him go it would be impossible to
get him out of the circuit.
There arc four veteran catchers in
the American league who would be OF
valuable assistance to Chance, They
are Thomas. and Lapp Of the Athletics;
