Smith, Jesse Hiatt, Des Bennion and George Pearce, driver. In the second sec-ond car Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Ash-ton, Ash-ton, Clarence Ashton, driver. It is a business trip intersperced with pleasure. The baseball game at Vernal was very interesting and exciting, and quite a number from here attended. at-tended. It was a battle between Myton and Vernal, and at the final wind-up the score stood 5 to 2 in favor of Myton. Tom Shisler of Roosevelt, was the twirler for the Myton team, and was a star. He had excellent control con-trol and the Vernal boys simply couldn't touch him. We predict the Shisler will find his way into the league in the near future. The Latter-day Saints held their first meeting in the Ouray Valley Sunday. Among those present were: Presidents Don B. Colton, David Bennion, Ernest Eaton and Bishop George Wilkins, all of Ver- nal; Stake President, J. H. Hardy, of Duchesne County, Des Bennion and A. Pearce of Roosevelt.
