EARLY WORM players
IN FORM At HOT SPRINGS
Yankees Advance Guard Been Out
Since Monday-Ray Heating Shows
UP Weighing 216 and Adopts He
roic Measures to Lose Weight

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb 19.-Though
it is. still little carly for the annual
spring migration southwark, the local
baseball colony will be considerably
increased bS the end of this week. Play
ers from other big league clubs besides
the Yankees, whose advance guard has
been training since Monday, are begin
ming to drift in, and there are still
three of the Yankees to be heard from
before the New York party will be CON-
plete.
Jean Dubuc, pitcher of the Detroit
club, arrived on the noon train yester-
day with instructions from Hughey Jen-
Mugs to take course of the baths and
exercises to relieve himself of an ac-
emulation of superfuous flesh gathered
over winter. Dubuc will be followed in
a day or two by Catcher Oscar Stan
age, Donnie Bush and Pitcher Dauss of
the Tigers.
They will be all the players Jennings
will send to the Spa. Instead of sending
his entire battery staff he has picked
out only those of his players who have
a tendency to take on flesh. Dubue
looks like he needed an early start, and
Bush always gets plump as soon as he
quits playing ball in the fall. Oscar
Stanage finds it harder every year to
get into shape, and he figures this year
to do lot of catching for club that
has chance for the pennant.
Dubuc arrived in time to get some
action with the Yankees in the after
noon. He got into New York uniform
and worked out at the ball park with
them, but he did not go through the
full course prescribed by Scout Kelley
for his charges.
Kelley put his program in force yes
terday for the first time. He took the
boys for a five-mle jog over the hills
that lie close to the town. In the after
noon Kelley put the players through an
other stiff workout at the ball park,
and sent home bunch of tired and
hungry athletes.

Poor Outlook For Tri-State

Lancaster, Feb. 19.-In day or two
Jack Deal, last season s first bagger fOl
the Wilkes-Barre, New York State
League team, will sign again with that
teSm, he announced yesterday. Deal was
expected to organize Tri-State team
for Lancaster, but he says he was un
able to do it for lack of financial en-
couragement. He has the promise of
Manager Noonan, of Wilkes Barre, that
if team is organized here later, and
Deal is wanted for Lancaster, he will
release him. The chances are very small
of Lancaster being in any league this

CooMBs SAYS HE'S FIT
Jack Expects to Take His Turn in Box
For the Dodgers

Brooklyn, Feb. 19.--Jack Coombs,
who was veritable iron man when he
pitched for the Athletics, has notified
Manager Robinson, of the Dodgers, that
he will go South with the team next
week in splendid physical condition.
Coombs insists he has entirely recover
ed from the ailment that has kept him
idle since 1911.
Coombs accepted Brooklyn con-
tract, which contained ten days no
tice of release clause. He frankly stated
that if he could not be of value to the
Dodgers he would not ask to be re-
tanned all season. Coombs not only will
try to pitch regularly when warm
weather sets in bait also will help Rob-
bic coach the young boxmen who will
be tried out at Dayton. If the iron man
is able to come back the Dodgers
chances will be materially increased.

Death Penalty.

1t Is related that one day a man came
10 Lincoln with sad tale. His son
had been sentenced to death. an only

II am sorry can do nothing for you.
Listen to this telegram received from
General Butler yesterday" aud he read
the following:

Lincoln watched the old mans grief
for Il minute and then exclaimed:

Then he wrote:

Why" said the old man sadly, II
thought 1t was a pardon. You may
order him shot next week"
MY old friend" replied Lincoln, Il
see you are not very well acquainted
with me. IL your son never dies till
orders come from me to shoot him he
will live to he great deal older than
MethuSelah."
One day woman. accompanied by
a senator. called on President Lincoln.
The woman was the wife of one of
Mosby's men. Her husband had been
captured. tried and condemned to be
shot. She came to ask for the pardon
of her husband. Lincoln heard her
story and then asked what kind of a
husband her husband was.

Will Cement Bottom
Of Jordan River
Has Become Necessary TO Prevent
Erosion Of Bank and Undermining
Of Buildings at Big Pumping Plant.

Sylvester q. Cannon of Salt Lake
City was in Lehi Saturday consulting
with w. A. knight regarding some
improvements which the Associated
Canal companies will make ut the
big Jordan River pumping plant this
winter. Chief among the improve
ments will be the concrete floor that
will be made In the bottom of Jordan
River Immediately below the pumps
1t will be about 100 feet wide and
extend down the river nearly 200
feet. Besides this, there will be a
retaining wall on the west bank Of
the river.
The immense stream that passes
through the pumps has dug chan
mel sixteen feet deep In the river and
undermined the west bank so as to
endanger the brick building. To
remedy this danger and prevent any
further erosion It will be necessary
to put cement bottom In the river
where the water Is the most turbu-
lent.
In order to do this Manager knight
will have to build a Golfer dam with
thousands of bags OF sand to shut the
water out while the men are putting
In the concrete. The cement wall
that has been undermined will be
broken up and thrown in the deep
hole. Besides this there will be
many tons OF cobble rock thrown in,
to be used as a base for the floor.
II will be n big job, and furnish a lot
OF employment for Lehi people.

-Four Returned Missionaries
Arrive This Week
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodney Alfred Arrive
from New Zealand, Lynn Clark from
the Northwest and WilIes Schow
from the Northern States.

Mr.. and Mrs Rodney Alfred re-
turned this week from New Zealand,
where they spent the past three years
doing missionary work They were
accompanied by Mrs. James Alfred,
who met them at San Francisco after
she had spent a month visiting rela-
tives In southern California. Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred brought home two chill
dren born to them In the South Sea
islands.
Mr.. Allred's work lay chiefly In the
establishing and operating of an agri-
cultural college for the church on a
2G0-acre tract. The school was at
tended chiefly by the young natives,
who showed an aptitude both in the
school and on the farm. As the sea-
sons are just opposite those here, New
Zealand is enjoying summer and the
schools are having their summer
vacation.
New Zealand Is as far south Of the
equator as Utah Is north, and is only
n little larger than this state In area.
Because Of its lying surrounded by
the sea, Il has an abundance Of rain
fall, and the country Is covered with
verdure and forests. Last season,
however. was an exception, and their
crops were almost total failur be-
cause Of the drought. Sheep and wool
are the chief articles of export,
though timber mining and farming
are growing industries.
New Zealand furnished many men
for the European war. though the
war spirit is cooling of now. One
little town, about half the size OF
Lehi. sent nineteen young men to Eu-
rope. Recent reports showed that
eighteen Of them were killed In bat
tie and the other one was injured
The German residents have all been
placed on one island. or the 157
passengers that came to America on
the boat that carried the Allreds one
third were young New Zealanders
who left their country to escape con-
scription.
Willes Schow, who has been doing
work In the northern
states under President @. Il. Els
worth, returned feeling fine and hav-
ing enjoyed his missionary labors.
Lynn Clark arrived home Sunday
evening from the northwestern
states. where he has been laboring
since October 2. 1913. He commenced
ho has labored in Washington, Idaho
and Montana. His last labors were
In Anaconda. where the Latter-Day

OUTLOOK FOR DRY GRAIN.

Dry farmers are wondering what
will be the outcome. Some of them
got their wheat up and looking fine.
but most of the grain was either
planted late or the ground was too
dry to sprout 1t when planted early.
This has now sprouted and some OF
1t is just coming through. Their
question is. will the winter freezing
kill this that has not yet come
through? Those best posted say that
1t will come all right In the spring.
