BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, DECEMBER 4, 1925 NO. 4a r BASKETBALL TILT AT UNTIGHT Clase of 1923 to Cluh with High School Team at Gym this Evening Starting at 7 Sharp. The first high scboot game of the present season will be played this (Friday) evening at the high school gym, when the class of 1923 will tan-gle with Tommy McMullins cohorts, starting at seven o'clock. The game was called for seven be-cause of the wrestling match at the Gemniell Club, and those wishing to see the boys in action will have am-ple time to see boath the hoop affair and the wrestling match. The local mejntor, McMullin, was not of a talkative frame of mind as to who will start for the high school team, but a fair guess for the coining game would place Drady at center, Hall and Hervilla at forward, and Dahlstrom and Greathouse or Wilson at guard. Riley Patten, who received an injury during the football season, although not able to play basketball as yet, is fast rounding into shape, and will probably be in the lineup before many games. On the 1923 team will be seen such stars as "Tuffy" Stillman, Adolph Chiara, Miles ' Gaythwaite, "Slim" Thomas and Arnold Geffcn. These five lads will make plenjy of trouble for the high school boys who, on the other hand, feel they aia just as clev-er as the older lads, and a battle royal is expected when the two dash this evening. Coach Tommy McMullin announces he is busy these days lining op sev-eral pre-seas- games be-fore the league schedule is started, thus giving his men the benefit of playing on foreign floors as well as watching the different styles of play as taught by other coaches, , Altho no definite dates have been set for the pre-seas- games, it is understood that the ganws will be started In the very.

"Would you please- - come to High-land Doy at once and take Mrs. Mc- Donald to Salt Lake City," said a feminine voice over the phone to one of Dingham Canyon's taxi drivers Monday evening of this week. Upon arrival at Highland Boy, the taxi driv-er was hailed by Jack McDonald, big strapping youth of 17, who de-clared he was the one who wanted the taxi. - - Telling the taxi driver his aunt was in a dying condition in Salt Lake City, and that every minute counted, "Mrs." McDonald was taken to Salt Lake City in jig time, asking to get out at the Moxum Hotel corner. The taxi driver turned around and came back to Bingham Canyon, being met by the sheriff's force who, according to reports, declared that the passen-ger taken to the Utah Metropolis was none other than Jack McDonald, who, an hour before, is alleged to have stolen $100 from his mother, and with a grip full of feminine attire dis-appeared in Salt Lake City. The mother and two brothers followed, und according to the sheriff's office he was taken into custody late Monday evening. Jack McDonald will be remember-ed as the lad who was arrested in Salt Lake City a short time ago for pass-ing a fictitious check, while posing as Mrs. McDonald.' He is said to have masqueraded as woman for .more than five weeks, part of this being spent in Wells, Nevada, where he was employed as a dishwasher. , So clever is this lad, that the taxi driver till insists , that a "woman" called him on the phone to make the trip.. rl '"',; " our rag i Several days ago a1 person by the name of Ball was given 250 days in a California jail, according to reports, because he washed his windows with the American flag.

The ' fact that some good woman took' the flag off. the pipe and replaced it with an old apron proves conclusively tnatthe flag was noticed hanging on tlfe pipe, and if the person who did nottte this atroc-ity would have reported it to the po-lice this violator of 111 that is holy to this country would probably have received his just dues. Utah would probably give this offender a sentence of 250. days, and it is to be hoped that should he repeat his offense that he is punished to the fullest, extent of the law.

This division is composed of teams of the Jordan school district, Tooele school district, Magna and Murray. With Tooele and Grantsville representing the Tooele section, and Bingham Canyon and Jordan representing' the Jordan dis-trict the Jordan Division at this writ-ing is composed of six teams. Six teams,, which means just two games a week so that the schedule can be completed before the state tourney starts. Wonderful. Manif-iccn- t. Grand, astounding, . amazing, and but what's the use? Every year when the powers that be in Salt Lake City make out the schedules, and set apart the divisions, the Jordan Dis-trict gets the "razzberry." Why this is, cannot be understood,' because as everyone knows, the Jordan District draws more people to the state tourn-ament than does any other section with the possible exception ' of the Salt Lake division. In the Salt Lake division, since peace was restored last year, f ur teams will battle for supremacy. Four teams, which means ONE GAMIJ A WEEK, and when the season is over, and the .state tournament is started, the two members from the Salt Lake section will be as fresh as a lily, with everything t6 gain and nothing to lose. 'This section is composed of L. D. S., East, West and Granite. As far as we are concerned, we suggest that the Athletic Board of Regents flip a coin .and if it comes heads, let the L. D. S. and West represent this division, and if it comes tails, let L. D. S. and East do the honors. Why play out a schedule? Let East or West or L. D. S. practice up for the tournament with Granite, and all will be well. There is no need for a di-vision in Salt Lake City, as everyone who follows the hoop game knows who's who. Why the wasted energy of getting out a schedule? Let's flip ... ,. ' "j 'v v - - - .! In the Jordan division things are different. Murray, which belongs to the Salt Lake division must play with this district, thus eliminating a tough contender for the city chaps to worry about. And in the mean time Bing-ham Canyon fans must sit by and watch the juggling of the teams in and around Salt Lake County, and as scheduled, the Jordan District gets the worst of it. This newspaper is not a howler, neither does it hold any particular grudge against the powers that be, but it does feel, and is not afraid to jay so, that the Jordan District is not getting a square deal. It isn't a ques-tion as to what team of the Jordan division will, win high honors at the state tournament, but a question of equality. Let's have five teams in the Salt Lake division, and five in the Jordan division. Still better, let's give Magna and Murray to the Salt Lake division ,and play the Jordan division four-hande- d. ..... As far as the local high school lads are concerned, they will take care of themselves, even should there be eight teams in our division, but why force this section to be the goats ev-ery year? Once in a while is all right, but why pick on us every year? (Salt Lake papers please copy). stages . 1estjjg bit" Great Interest Being Shown In Match This Eve-ning at Qemmell Memorial Club. Who wilt win? How long do yon. think it will last? Do you think that Hackenschmidt will be able to wrest the crown from Dern? These are but a few of the many questions being " asked by members of the Gemmell '. Memorial club, Who1 will witness a finish wrestling match between Ira Dern of Salt Lake City, and Joe Hackenschmidt of Chicago. : The bout this evening, which will he featured by an all star card, is the " first time since the opening of the club that a finish wrestling bout has ' been attempted, and much credit must ' ' be given to Mr Macke, for his ef- - forts at giving the members just what ' they wanv, ' ; . ?i - ' A short resume of the activities in B'mgham Can-yo- n will probably give those who do not know a keener Insight as to what may be expectedLthja evening when these two gladiators enter the ring. h Hackenschmidt,. coming out here a .' ' few months ago to wrestle an exhl-- ; - . .. bition with Dern at the ctub, stayed 54 minutes with the Utah grappler, J and made hundreds of friends with his gameness and aggressiveness. ' Shortly after, Hackenschmidt wres-tled with a fellow by the name of Hall at the .Isis theatre here, Dern being a spectator. The Chicago man claimed Dern was coaching from the side lines, and words followed, the outcome of this chat. severing all ' friendly relations between the two. -- r Last month, Dern was scheduled to . meet "The Terrible Turk" at the Gemmell club, with Hackenschmidt i coming out to witness the affair. The, "Turk", failed to show, and aja last minute resort, Art Macke substituted f the Russian lion from Chicago. The events following this bout will - go down "in local sport annals as on of . : the firrcesl Wrestling matches. vr. ;.- - witnessed in this section. Dern after , 45 minutes of strenuous work pinned . - .. "Hack" to the mat, but the Chicago man had blood in his eye, and upon v resumption pinned Dern t the mat yjv v in 12 minutef The last three min- - . utes of wrestling were too fast for comment. Brooding over the fact that one hour time limit was not long enough to settle their differences, both wrestlers have been overly anx-ious for a finish bout, and with the club members clamoring for a finish bout, the ultimate result is the book- - ; ing of these two gladiators for this'; ' evening to wrestle to a finish. "More interest has been shown in the com-;in- g match than in any other; ever . j at the local club. -- ,' The big show this evening will start , off with a four-roun- d boxing affair between Young . Scotti and L. M. Throckmorton, both of the Utah Cop-per. Both are willing lads and this bout should be a dandy from start to finish. "j--- . . Billy Hughes, the diminutive Ele?v:, trie shop favorite, will step off four rounds with Willie Knight of Salt Lake City. This is another bout that should give the crowd plenty, of ac-tion, as Hughes goes from the open- - , ing gong to the finish. A time limit wrestling match be-tween Walt Hubner of Salt Lake City and Boardman of the Electric Shop will form the wrestling prelim-inary for the main event. ' The performance will start at eight o'clock, and those who are desirous of gaining points of vantage are re-quested to be on hand early. It was announced that smoking in the gym will be taboo, and those found violat-ing this edict will be asked to give up . their place. ; LOCAL STORES :!"

' ' i'-- STAY AT HOME AND DO 1 YOUR SHOPPING IN BINGHAM s' CANYON. BINGHAM. CANYON n NEEDS YOU, AND YOU NEED - s BINGHAM CANYON. ACCIDENTS . With everyone in this grand and glorious country overly anxious to own an auto, and with accidents oc-curring on the Bingham Canyon high-way every so often, statistics show that this section of the land is hold-ing itT own with the rest of the country. Notwithstanding - the fact that many have been injured 'and some killed, that many have been fined for speeding, and that, follow-ing manslaughter conviction, some haver even been sent to the peniten-tiary, there has been no abatement in the reports of accidents.' Of course, not all accidents arc due to either recklessness or to speeding, but many are. The -- evil is nation-wid- and the magnitude is shown by the fact that the annual, tall in casualties in the United States is almost three times a as great as all American casualties in the whole of the great war. ' A few weeks ago, a death occurred on the Bingham Canyon highway, and a collection was takcu to give the unfortunate man a decent burial. The widow must go to work, and the old-est daughter taken from school 'and also put to work. This man had no in-surance, and the party carrying him to Bingham Canyon did not carry in-surance for his patrons, thus the fam-ily of the dead man must hustle for themselves. Recently a taxi driver, while taking a load of customers to Salt Lake City was forced off the pavement, accord-ing to reports, and although his cai turned over no one was hurt, with the exception of the car. Truly one must be thankful" for this act of fate, and yet, what might have happened? For the sake of argument,' let us see what would have happened should tture have been 'a death,, or permanent'' injury. ' The ' dependents in all probability would be forced to go to work, because this public car-rier of people carried no insurance for his passengers.' Realizing the im-portance of this condition, a survey was made, and it was found .accord- - lug to report Jhatlhe Bin! .Stage line Is the only conveyor of eeopU operating between Bingham Canyon and Salt Lake City that carries an insurance policy for every person riding on the stages. This, accord-ing to reports, gives the dependent of a person being killed while riding on Bingham stages the sum of $10,-00- 0, surely enough to keep the wolf away from the door for a short time, and not force widows to work im-mediately following the burial. This condition is not purely local, as a movement has been started in the east to have compulsory insur-ance. Judge Robert S. Marz of the Superior Court of Cincinnati says: "The total number of Americans killed and wounded in the World War was about 242,000. The total number of Americans killed and wounded by automobiles in 1923 was 500.000. The total number last year as reported by the Hoover committee was 630,000. Of this number more than 19,000 were killed and 15 per cent were children under 16 years of age. This year the number of fatal-ities and injuries will exceed last year's terrible toll and the total tends to increase with the number of motor vehicles upon the streets. In some cases the injured are to blame; in some the automo-biles; in others both. In many cases it is impossible to place the blame and frequently there i no negligence, in a legal sense, but injury or death occurs by reason of weather condi-tions, latent defects or the inevitable risks of traffic." What Judge Marx has in mind is the fact that whether technical blame lies or not, a vast number of people become charges on relatives or the cbrihnunity at large; suits growing out of present conditions clutter up the dockets; in many cases where the person to blame has no property ex-cept the car and only an equity in that. He proposes something like the compulsory compensation law for employes; either through a state in-surance, a mixed state or private in-surance- or private insurance alone, by which a fund should be set aside, payable annually by all car owners, whereby say $6500 should be paid in case of death, $4 a day during dis-ability to an adult and $2 a day in case of injury to a child. He says that such laws 'are successfully oper-ated in Switzerland and Denmark. This would remove a vast amount of litisation from the courts, and busi-ness from lawyers, upon whom he calls to lead the movement for its adoption. t MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION X 0 In keeping with the Christ- - ; I mas Seal Proclamation of fhe I ' governor of the Sfate of Utah, and in the interest of the wel- - ' !

The Committee for Bingham Can-yon District, which is composed of Mrs. J. B. Myers, Lower Bingham Canyon, Miss Stella Klopenstine, Copperfield, and Mr. 'Dave Watkins, Highland Boy, will start their cam-paign Monday of next week, and the quota of $300 is expected to be reach-ed before the week is over. School children from the three districts will assist in the sale of Christmas seals. The penny gained from the sale of each seal has many uses.

IB Elaborate Plans Being Formulated for Last Meeting of 1925 Pupils to be Seen in Christmas Play. That the Parent-Teache- rs Associa-tion of Bingham Canyon is successful is made manifest by the interest be-ing shown by both the teachers and the parents, large crowds attending each meeting, and when the third ses-sion meets on Wednesday evening, December 16, a program, which prom-ises to excell all other efforts, will be given. Judge Morgan, head of the Juvenile Court, of Salt Lake City, will be the speaker for the evening, and aside from this feature, a clever playlet given by the Dramatic cfass of the Bingham Canyon High School under the personal supervision of Miss Genevieve Langlois, head of Dramat-ics at the school, called ."Why ,the Chimes' Rang," will also be given. This play of Christmas spirit, is most appropriate at this time, and accord-ing to reports, the cast is at this time letter perfect, thus assuring the large membership a splendid production on December 16. The play, which deals with medi-eval times, has a cast of four prin-cipals, these parts being taken by Rennold Galagher, O'Brien Caulficld, Gerald Franz and an old woman part by Frances Ball; Lords, noblemen and yeomen also appear in the- cast. Much work has ' been done on the play thus assuring those attending the meeting a performance really worth while. , . Special costumes will be used for the play, which is in two acts. Music for the production has also been re-ceived, and it is to be hoped that when the meeting is called to order on December 16, a large crowd will be in attendance to support the young plavers of the dramatic club who have worked long and faithfully to make this Christmas play a success.' - ' pairoTMlF-splend- id show Members of L. D. S. Dramatic Club Cover Themselves With Glory as Clever Farce is Given. Probably at some time or another, you have wanted to laugh, and for lack of something to laugh 'at, you have had- - to postpone the grins for a future date. If this be the case, hur-ry up and get tickets for "A Pair of Sixes," the farce at the L. D. S. meeting house, which closes a four-da- y run this evening at 8:15. For those who want to laugh and do not know what to laugh at, we also suggest a visit to "A Pair of Sixes," which is by far the best play the L. D. S. players have yet offered, and it is a play that will keep you giggling from the opening curtain to the laughable finale. The story which deals with two partners, who, from reasons of jeal-ousy want to dissolve, but fail to hit upon a mutual plan until their attor-ney decides that a hand of poker will clear matters, the loser to forfeit his rights in the business of making pills for the period of one year and also to become the butler of the other for the same length of time. Fun goes at top speed throughout, the butlef and his fiancee finally finding a way out which ends satisfactorily for all concerned and the partners start life, anew. ' In amateur theatricals, particularly in small towns, it behooves ye editor to be careful of his criticisms, as there is going to be trouble in case of a misslip, but in the case of "A Pair of Sixes" as presented by the L. D, S. Dramatic club there is nothing to won-- about, as every member of the' cast is far over the average. Ken-neth Brady as T. Boggs Johns, the partner who loses to a pair of sixes, and is forced to become the butler, gave a clever rendition of the part, living the imaginary life of T. Boggs from start to finish. D. Henry Man-ning, as George B. Nettlcton the other partner, although new to local dramatics, gave the audience an ex-ceptionally clever reading of the part. Particularly was" he good when he discovered the odor of cologne on his clothes, and the scene with his wife, admirably played by Miss Rtibv Knude'"", was characteristic of a ed on Page 11) SCHOOL STARTS AT THE BOSTON CON. .
