Blazing the way for a third trans
continental automobile' route that will
put Salt Lake and the scenery of Utah
on the touring map. also paving the way
for a reliability- contest of national-importance
across tho country ,to the Pan
a in a -Pacific exposition in 19'jo, a party
of enthusiastic motorists will arrive in
this city from the cast this or Friday
morning, bound for San Francisco.
The party is headed by W. A. Peck
pf Moline. who is driving the Midland
forty. He carries letters of commenda
tion from Governors Dencen of .Illinois
and Shafrolh of Colorado to Governor
Hiram Johnson of California and from
the officials of the Denver Motor club,
the chamber of commerce. Hie Denver
Retail association, the state highway
commission and similar organizations to
the officials of the Panama-Pacific ex
position and similar authorities in Cal
ifornia. The other moinbers of the
party arc James L. Gartland of the Mo

horses off 'the track. John H. Sheehan
was in this race, but Pickaninny got the
place and Marburg showed. The books
were hit hard.
In the third race Execute won. Rue,
the favorite, was second, and Metropol
itan, the next public choice, was third.
The fourth race was the Overland han
dicap and In the fifth raco Frank G. Ho
cau was first. Darelngton second and Dell
third. The books got back a little of
their money in this race, but they parted
with It In the last race of the day when
Ed G., after being backed away down,
came homo winner. There was a red
hot tip on Critic, which opened at 20 to
1, but was soon played down to a much
smaller Drlce. Critic tried hard enough,
but. Ed G. had too much speed.
Tho winner got off fairly well,
but during the race ne stumbled and for
a second or two It seemed certain that
he was beaten. When he got Into his
stride again ho came with a riiFh that
was Invincible. Galcnc Gale got the
place and Jim Mc. showed. Midsummer
made the early pace.
On the card for today arc three races
at a mile or more, which promise to fur
nish mediums for exciting speculation.
The crowds at the course during the last
few days arc larger than ever before.
Mnnv remain after tho races to hear the
Lagoon concerts by Don Phlllpplnl and
his famous band.

GREAT RACE MEET IS 4
PROMISED AT BUTTE
BUTTE, Juno 28. Tho thirty-day
raco meeting of tho Butto Jockoy club,
which opens in Butto Wednosday, July
19, and closes Tuesday, August 22,
promises to excel any mooting hereto
fore held in the great mining city. A
better class of horses, a better class of
horse owners, better management and
a better racing plant aro the elomonts
which will enter into making this a
banner season at tho local track.
At tho local track at prosont more
than thirty head of thoroughbreds,
some of them spriutors of know nabil
ity, aro being conditioned for the com
ing meet.
Considerable in tho way of improve
ments at the local track have alroady
been accomplished by Secretary Gcm
mell, and there aro still moro to be
made. All of tho stalls for housing
tho racers will bo overhauled and
roofed by the date of the opening dny
of tho meeting and horso owners will
havo no room for criticism, as in 'tho
past.
A feature which will prove pleasing
to tho racegoers is tho enlargement of
tho betting room underneath tho grand
eland. This summer those who want
to placo their monoy on the chances of
tho sprinters will not be elbowed and
jammed and sweltered in tho crowded
ring ag of old. An addition which gives
3C0 square feet, moro of Bpaco has boon

STVTE LEAGUE GOES; 1
'..x BIG CITY BODY F(fiMS
4
The Utah State baseball league beat
the Fourth of July to It this time. The
State league has blown up Beveral davs In
advance of the arrival of the -Fourth.
First the Salt Lake team In the State
league blew up. largely because of Its
Inability to retain players. Then W. E.
Sanderson of Ogden quit a president of
the league and "Dad'1 Glmlin refused to
bring his team to Salt Lake to play any
more ball,, partly because he doesn't want
to "buck' Dick Cooley and organized base
ball, " as "Dad" puts .li, and partly be
cause there was rio money In bringing his
team hither.
This left only two teams In tho league,
Frank Black's Occidentals and Murray,
and Black, as soon as he learned of Glm
lln's refusal to play here knew that the
league was hopelessly dead' and dated
games -elsewhere. Black is at Idaho Falls
now, arranging a game for Sundar and a
doublc-hcadqr for .luly 4.
Gimlin and Murray havo good teams
and will play Independent ball. Gimlin
is arranging home games for Sundays and
holidays and on week days he will do a
little barnstorming. Gimlin's men are to
meet Wellsvlllo. which has lost to the Og
dertltes, in a return game at the Junction
City Sunday and on July 15 and 16 the
strong Green River, Wyo., nine -will come
to Ogden.

"No, I'vill not go to your chicken fight
tonight," said Miller Huggtns of the St.
LouIr Cardinals, waving away tho wcll
meannlng sporting men who besought his
presence at the cockpit. "If I could be
sure that, all your blamed birds would be
killed. Instead of only half of them, and
that there would be a painful disease
attack all tho rest of the. roosters In the
world. I'd go. but as it is nothing doing.
Why am I so sore at fighting roost
ers? For good reasons. A rooster ruined
inc financially some time ago, and I shall
never overcome my hatred for the whole
family of chickens. I have eaten as mam
as I could to prove my enmity, and I
hope to eat a great many more before
the account is sriiuircd.
"It was during the last season when
I was a member of the Cincinnati Reds,
and I was taking a week off with n bad
leg got spiked, or strained, or ' some
thing. Anyhow. T was Idle. I was Mush
with money, and I decided to kill a tew
days by a trip d5vn the Ohio and the
Mississippi, Nnthlns happened on the
trip to St. Lpuls. where I embarked on
a southbound steamer. One dav out and
