President Shepherd of the Bear Lake Stake, expressed pleasure at being present at a Saints of conference of the Cache Stake. He said in substance. A strong bond exists between the Cache and Bear Lake Stakes ; that of relationshi; among the people, of similarity the surrounding conditions7' of union in building the temple here, and of responsibilities undertaken and covenants made therein. When the hymn Though Deepning Trials Throng Your Way was being'sung I thought when the final j udginent" comes we shall nqtbe looked over for medals and certificates, but for scars. We hear of people who find sOme particular .duty that doesnot appeal to them, some duty that they do not take pleasured doing, but my testimony is that we shall never ehjoy any particular duty until we fulfill it. It is constant and willing performance of duty that makes our duty a pleasure. Sometimes certificates and degrees are :but the labor we Mis will always stand, to our perform credit. Trials are necessary; we Should not always look upon them as misfortunes; they are all for our good, for 'our'' development. We shall' never be entitled to rule over anything until we haveon-uere- d something. Let us all get the spirit of our calling from the deacon up, so that our work may be & pleasure.

U. baseball team broke even on its trip to Logan, winning from the Aggies and losing to "the BY. C. A dispute arose in the contest with the Crimson team as a result of which fhe game was forfeited to the B. Y. (. at the beginning of the ninth inning, with the score standing 6 to t. The trouble arose o er a ground rule which provided thaf m case the ball was thrown over first or third base, the base runner should be entitled to one base only unless he should be trjing to steal a base when lie would be entitled to the one he was trying to steal and one more. With two men out in the 8th Inning, n mnn stealing to second and two runs needed to tie .the score, Alleqjof the B. Y, C. hit safely over 1st base. 'As the ball was thrown in to first, Watkin was legging it to third and the crowd was calling to First Base-ma- n Horsfal to throw it to third. Allen lit out for second before Ilorsefal threw the ball, evident- ly intent upon causing a mixup and compelling the other fellows to let in a run. Horsfal finally threw high to third, and if the ball passed thipd before Allen passed second then Allen had no right to score. If it didnt he had a right. to goon home,. Ilc.went in and Umpire Clarke ordered the run scored, which' tied the score. The Saints protested, - but after the umpire bad given 'his decision went on wtih the game, putting Richards out and retiring the side. Then when ordered to bat for thfeir last turn they refused to play, but of course it was too late then and the umpire ordered them, to go on with . the game. They refused and after 25 minutes of wrangling the game was awarded to Badenoehs players. It is to be regretted that the incident terminated) the way it did, as the best of feeling, has generally prevailed between , these two schoola, but there was no other way for it to end after the unwise step the Saints took Ad- mitting that their claimjwas right, there was a proper timeTbrthem to make their stand and that was when the play occurred, so that If the umpire' had reversed his decision he could have sent Allen back to third base, but to wait until tbe run was scored, the . - Sainte by a score of to the 6. It was like the other 8 to game-- full of errors, six being made behind Drysdale and 5 behind Grant. The Saints pitcher is an old head at the game, and when the errors came he settled down and pitched the harder, while Drysdale apparently got discouraged at his lack of support, (and who would blame him) and lost his nip, lie used too much steam failing to mix em , up when a mixture was needed, and was therefore slammed to the woods, 12 safeties being made off his de livery, while Grant gave just half that number. .The feature of the game was Yiucent Cardons playing,- - Gut ofd times at bat he got four bases on balls, and in tire center garden did some very good fielding. Brassard was orf first, and) he put up his usual good game. If they make any better , -- athletes than Brassard wed like to see them. , No blatter where they stick him, he makes good. The way he caught Dorton asleep on first was funny. The Aggies made three double plays during the game. They tried hard to overtake their rivals in the seventh, but the four runs the Saints 'got in the first inning was too much of a load to be overcome, The line-u- p; L. D. S, Umpire U. A. . Dr. S.
