rl GENERAL RESUME 05 LEADING SPORT! NG
EVENTS OE THE YEAR JUST CLOSING
i'L'lic past .vcar is reported to have
been a record-breaker for tho resorts
and alblctie panics and sports, both
. financially and for tho general pat.ron
, . age b3' the public, It seems that any
N cicau athletic sport or amusement,
whether it bo amateur or professional,
is what t.ho poople demand. rhero
is probably no other Stato in the Union
that can boast as much as can Utah
of hor people turning out for Bomo big
( game or a society gathering at any
one of thu many popular resorts.
Tho loading athlotic amusement, of
tho past season was bicycle racing.
Over $30,000 was taken in tor admission
to tho bicycle track, tho events being
held on Tuesday, Friday, and holiday
evenings on tho Salt Palaco saucer
track. Of tbis largo amount, moro
than $19,000 was given to tho riders
for prizes, salariPS and bonus mouoy,
and tho bnlanco went to tho inanago-
mout, out of which all other cxponscs
' had to bo paid. No matter when the
races wore given, all tho seats wero
invariably sold out and standing room
bad to bo sold in the arena, to accom
, inodate lho overflow. All tho best riders
in tho world wero import od by J. M.
Chapman for tho races and uudcr Ins
management (he track last, year broKo
nil previous records in attendance and
tho amount of money taken in at the
gate. It is being reported that Chap
man will manage tho track again this
season. .... e
Baseball was a dismal failure as tar
as attendance went. John Dubei Kept
the Salt Lake team going throughout
the summer, and at one time had tnc
i strongest team in the State; but as uo
; salaries were guaranteed, the players
interest was lost and some of tho b.est
men left and toward tho fall of the
Tear tho loam went to pioccs. rtao
Utah learns plavod independent ball,
to which tho people did not take. Og
den organized a strong team and de
feated the locals in a series ot bril
liant, games, but even thoso did not
Ecem to attract the attention of the pub
lic. Leaguo baseball is a winner hero,
and it is the opinion of tho. fans that
jf Salt Lake could secure a position in
tho Northwestern or Pacific Coast
leagues, her success as a baseball town
would be assured. The prospect tor the
coining season for baseball is not very
Eocky Mountain Obauipionaliip.
Tho attendance at football gamc?
broke all previous records. '1 ho univer
sity team won the liitemiountam
champship, losing but onp game in tho
race. Coach Joe Maddock had Ins men
drilled to rjerfection and at the closo
MM of tho season there was not a mem-
Mtf ber of the team reported to have been j
WW, injured in any way of any consequence i
K in the many rough games played- llie
Mi weather for the games was ideal., and i
P for tho first time in the history ol tue
BE University tho athletic department paid ,
11 for itself and had a little money lott !
Hffl in the treasury, after paying all bills, (
MM to commenco work on next season. ,
mm Tho Ogden high school Avon the high ,
11 Fchool championship and was considered i
jIL b'v experts to be one of tho best teams .
Mm in' the. West for its weight,
'jHH Horse racing paid for tho first time
tfjBK' in several seasons. Tbnrc wem more
mVtf horses imported and placed in training
Wm,i than heretofore and eevoral State rec- ,
wMa ords were tied and lowered during t lie ,
MM; vcar. The week's mooting at tho I tali j
W State fair during tho first wock in last ;
Mm . October broke all previous records in
H attendance. Lester IX Freed had charge
DH of tho sport programme and many ot
mm the horsoinen shook thair heads wlmn
was placed in charge, but. J reed
WmU took the matter in hand as any othor
H business proposition" and made a graud
n success. During the last throe days ol
Mm the meet the manv thousands ol people
H J jn attendance could not bo accommo
; dated at the track. The grandstands
I -were filled and tho half-mile track was
surrounded bv interested spectators'
H from two to ten deep. The racing was ,
mm the best ever witnessed on s local .rack
Mm and nal Brown was praised by all tho
Um horsemen for his efficient work at the
H -judges' stand. The meeting was surh
I a grand success that immediately after
.11 the closo of the fair, its directors took
up the proposition of building a mile
B track in place of lho half-milo course
I for prospective races next October.
ML McGurrin a Champion.
El - Golf and tennis were among tap lead
Qil jng amateur sports. F. . McGurrin
Ett won the Stato golf championship last
November, making thrco consecutive
BV vears that he has won the title. There
DDI was a great deal of interest on the
WmS local links, and whenever the weather
K permitted many players could bo seen
.Hf making Ihe rounds. Several cup tourn-
WmW ameuts, for ladies and gentlemen, wore
M held during the summer months, and
mm r groat deal of rivalry was worked
H , up among tho members of tho Country
mm'1 C "Samuel Noel won the inlcrmounlain
mm ' tennis championship on tho Country
, club courts. Players from all oyer the
Mm "West attended tho meeting, which w.ns
reported the most successful ever held
I here in the interest of tho racket. O.
B 1 J. Salisbury, the former Stato champion,
M was defeated bv Neel.
The Salt bake and Ogden Gun clubs,
had successful seasons and several
mWR match shoots were hold, which resuUcd
H) in honors being divided. At one time
flKl there was some talk of manufacturing
hluerocks, as under tho present condi-
mmWt tions the railroad companies charge
lH more to ship in the targets than they
mmm cost at tho factory, and a carload cau-
hI not bo laid .down hcrcundcr-$S00. The
Si trap season will commence after the
mm' duck season and all tho shooters in
mmn Utah will get ready for tho big intcr-
H) Btate shoot between Utah and Idaho,
which is scheduled to take place in this
flyUr city sometime during the spring.
flWJ, The Utah Kennel club was organised
My n. vear ago and promoted its initial dog
flE?ft show during the month of last March.
Wmu Tt was a great success, and after paying
ll' nearlv $2000 for expenses in conduct-
1 ing the show, the organization had a
BH- surplus left.
HSs Association Success.
flH'j Through the agitation of the Utah
HSR Stato Fish and Gamp Protective an-
w, , sociation for a dollar license to fish and
jHW) hunt in the State of Utah, an elephant
Bill was taken from the shoulders of the
Wagm. State. Heretofore, the Jjegislaturo had
flUu to provide from the public fund But
: BB j licinfg money to keep up this depart
. mm I mcnt. It tould not well afford to lc
JHIr J this, it being especially argued that tin
11 jBj R poor man was paying to jrrotect the
hm I r, iiuh and game for tho rich man. Un

der tho present law, all tho expensos
of tho fish and game department have
been paid by those who fish and shoot,
and there id a balanco left in the treas
ury of over $10,000. Tho sportsmen
hopo that during tho next Legislature
tho present game law may bo greatly
improved upon. It was the intention
of tho Legislature to prohibit tho sale
of ducks in the markot, but during the
ontiro year sovcral firms havo had sev
eral hundrods of ducks in their posses
sion at one time, but Fish and Game
Commissioner Cromar took no steps to
prosecute. Qno of tho dealers got an
opinion from their Chicago attorneys,
who stated that tho law was faulty,
being class legislation; still tho local
judges might interpret the law ns was
intended and secure convictions, but up
to tho prcseut time no test caso has
come up, as nono of tho gamo wardens
would take a chance in making ar
rests. Thus, a man who was caught
killing more than twenty-fivo ducks
could bo arrested, but according to the
commissioner ho could go out to the
clubB and buy a thousand ducks vrtth
out being prosocutod- The "pothunters'
could not desiro a moro favorable law,
as they could always kill their limit
and buv (?) as many moro from .Jones
or Brown as they wished, providing a
gamo warden hove in sight. The aver
age sportsman argues that tho wild
duck is public property and no man
should bo allowed to take up Govern
ment land without paying for it and
selling it to his noighbor. Gamo birdo
and fish are becoming scarcer . every
roar, and many protests are pouring in
to Congress requesting a re.mcdy A
great many people are proposing a h cd
(iral law for the protection of fish and
game. Tho Utah Stato Fish and Gamo
Protective association will make a fight
for hotter laws at the next meeting
of the Stato Legislature.
Coursmg Not successful.
Tho Rocky Mountain Coursing club
gave its initial meet last'Octobor at
tho Siato fair grounds. Tho meet was
a grand success, except financially, and
cost the club about $2500 in excess ol
all revenue colloctcd. Tho people did
not seem to take to tho sport. All tho
best greyhounds in America were hero
for tho inccti.'ig.
Roller skating has become a erazo
! and all the rinks arc crowded with en
thusiasts from morning until lato at
night. Features in fancy skating, and
racing aro scheduled for the winter
months at lho Auditorium and Tnu
cess rinks.
The resort season was a record
breaker. Sallair, which probably had
j by far the largest attendance, broke
i
all previous records. Tho coming back
of th o water under the pavilion made
bathing a feature and .a plonourc, and
there was not a warm day during the
Bummer months that several thousand
Ceoplo could not bo seen in tho salt
rine. . A great many now amusement
attractions wero addod and it was one
of tho most popular rcsort3 in the
State.
Lagoon, which is a garden of lawns
and (lowers, hns becomo a favorite
family resort and woll-patrouizcd by
the public and by people from and out
of the city. An innovation is being
made at this resort for the coming son
fson. Mannger Dcrgerman is putting in
fresh wator bathing, and ono of the
largo lakes at tho resort will be trnns
I formed into a swimming pool. It is
tho purpose of tho management to pro
j mote amateur swimmiug contests dur
i ing the coming season for tho Stuto
j championships. Many other amusement
features are also to be added to the
resort tljo coming season.
Wandamorc, which has boon trans
j formed into a paradise from tho old
Cnldcr resort, is tho only resort in the
State where liquor is not. sold on tho
grounds. It is fast becoming the popu
lar resort for Sunday-schools and church
people, and tho management is expend
ing largo sinus annually for amusements
and attractions for both tho old and
I tho young.
