Show LEAVES FOR SCHOOL Nephi Dowdell, for the past three years a member of the Utah Copper baseball team, and one of the popular young men of the town left Monday afternoon for Marion, Ohio, where he will study at the Marion Steam Shovel Training School, starting his apprenticeship, appren-ticeship, and it is his intention to remain re-main the four years before returning to Bingham Canyon. Mr. Dowdell put in his application for the apprenticeship 20 months ago, and only recently did he get action, and' although he stated he hated to leave the little ol' town on the hill, never-the-less he felt he could learn more at Marion, so thus the change. During the baseball season coming to a close, Dowdell acted in the capacity ca-pacity of utility infielder, and that he made good is shown in the fact that he connected safely 8 times in the last fifteen trips to the plate. He was joined at Salt Lake City Tuesday morning by Dr. Cain, who is making a trip east, and the two will complete the journey overland. The many friends of "Neph" Dowdell wish him success in his new undertaking. |
