Show W. T RU T H SPORTING GOSSIP. The football season will soon be here. athAlready the and some without long hair long-haire- d letes are getting out their armor, and another month will see the great college sport in full swing. Every season adds more local interest to the game of football. Salt Lake sport lovers are just beginning to understand the game, but with the leading schools of the state devoting so much time arid money to the sport, it will not be long until it receives the patronage from the public that it deserves. The team from the state university has easily won the school championship during the past three years, but every season the Agricultural college of Logan has made a desperate fight for the honor. Another rivalry quite as intense has existed between the High school teams of this city and Ogden. Last fall the local boys defeated the Ogden lads in a series of games, but the latter never lost their grit, and this season will see them out to win back the championship. The question of coaching is the one serious proposition that all' the schools have to contend with. Skillful and scientific coaching will win out every time in a gridiron battle, and yet not a team in the state has ever had that advantage. Every school has a person known as the football coach, but he is usually a regular instructor who merely coaches the football boys after school hours. Let any one team s have a coach, and that team will defeat everything else in the state. i4 J. E. Bransford, who will manage race meet at the Agriculthe tural park during the State Fair week, has announced the conditions under which horses can enter the races, and also made public some special, rules which will govern the meet. All considered, the races hould be the best ever witnessed in the state. The purses offered are large enough to tempt the best horses of the intermountain country, and if the races are pulled off satisfactorily, as they undoubtedly will be, local turf lovers will get their money's worth. some hope of landing the pennant but to see Salt Lake move up from the bottom of the percentage column is about all the fans care for just now. For the next two weeks the Elders will play in the northwest. They will meet the Siwashes in Seattle next week and the following week they will attcak the Spokane Indians ons their own hunting grounds. The team will miss Eddie Quick greatly, and probably will not break even with Butte this week, unless Joey Kostal, who has been signed in Quicks place, proves equally as strong as the latter. Manager Reynolds is with the boys, and he will see that no night revels will interfere with the winning of games. The season will close with a series of twelve games on the local diamond between the Saints and the Miners. JX JX Next week will close the season of bicycle racing at the Salt Palace track, and incidentally terminate Mr. Schefskis connection with the owners of the resort. Schefski has managed the track successfully for four years. The feature of the closrace for ing week will be a the professionals. The riders will be on the track one hour each night during the week, and prizes will be given at the end of the hour, with extra prizes on the closing night. In addie tion Jo this event there will be a six-nig- ht five-mil- race every night. JX JX Manager Kelly of the Shamrock Athletic club, made a trip to Ogden Wednesday, where he perfected arrangements for a contest between Martin Duffy and Jerry McCarthy, to be pulled off on Wednesday evening, September 16, at Glenwood Park, for the welterweight championship contest of The world. the be will governed by the new contract which has been adopted by the club, and each man will be required to post a forfeit of $250 to conform to the rules. Under the new contract the referees powers have been enlarged and the contest will s have to be of a character, or the pugilists will get no money. The Ogden sports are all agog over the coming of this contest and will see to it that it is liberally patronized.
