Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1927. 19 LEAGUE LEADERS HOLD POSITIONS IN ENGLISH SOCCER COMPETITION Home Town Clubs Victorious in Most Cases; Sensational Marksmanship Noted; Old-Time Hero Dies. By OUTSIDE RIGHT. The standing of the first division of the English league remained unchanged' as a result of the games played last Saturday afternoon. The league leaders, Newcastle United, managed to dispose of Blackburn Rovers at Ewood park. It was expected that the Rovers, playing at home, would at least have held the Novocastrians to a draw, but the United proved to be a little too strong and the odd goal margin fairly represents the difference in the two elevens. In view of Burnley's recent iapse from form, it was expected that Huddersfield Town, playing at home, would annex t'he points and the battle for league honors apparently will be bitterly waged between the present league champions and the United. Newcastle has a desperate assignment on hand, as the Town will be out to make it four in a row. Much Interest was centered in the game at "West Bromwich, where the homesters entertained Aston Villa. It was a cold, bleak day for the Villa, as the Albion walloped their guests by a lopsided score, registering six goals against them. The Villa could only respond with two counters against the fierce, whirfVind attack of^ Albion. , , With the exception of Blackburn, and the drawn game at Sunderland where the cup semifinalists, Cardiff City, played the home team to a 2-2 deadlock, all the clubs playing on their own grounds emerged with victories. A deal of interest was manifested in those games in which tne two cup semifinalists, Cardiff and Arsenal, participated. Arsenal gave an indifferent display against the Wednesday, ana woke up only toward tne end of the game, when they scored twice in seven minutes. No cup final form was revealed by the Highbury team, which permitted Trotter of the Wednesday to perform the hat trlcK, setting three of Wednesday's goals one after the other. At Sunderland the home team had a two-goal lead over Cardiff City at the. interval, but they were greatly assisted by tne wind. At the turn of the game the Welshmen had this breezy advantage and reacted to it by Paying an irT eistible game which netted them the equalizers. This was accomplished in spite of the fact that they lost th^r left back, Watson, owing to injuries. The other cup semifinahsts Reading and Southampton, had varied luck in their league encounters Southampton won at Darlington by two^ goals to one and Reading was defeated^ Its own ground by Wolverhampton Wanderers by the same score Reading however, gave a much better accountTof itself than the score, would indicate, its forwards playing a wonderful game, .but the Wanderers' defense was practically invulnerable. Wolves secured the winning counter in the last minute of play. Southampton's game at Darlington was featured by poor work on the part ox front rank. A compensating element, however, was the br lliant play of the backs, together with Allen's wonderful goalkeepmg. In the second division, Preston North End was the only one of the leaders to gain headway, winning at Craven Cottage over Fulham by one goal to nothing. Middlesborough was held to a 1-1 tie at Barnsley Notts Forest, at home, also sharing the points with the lowly Clapton Orient Manchester City defeated Port Vale by four goals to one, Chelsea keeping in the running by subduing Oldham Athletic at Boundary park by a t-1 score Portsmouth won from Bradford City by 1-0, Swansea Town going down to defeat at home to Notts County, the visitors scoring the lone goal of the game.. Middlesboro now tops the second division with 45 points. Preston North End is tied With Notts Forest for second place, but has two games in hand on the Forest, each club having 41 points. Newcastle United heads the first division with 43 points, two more than Huddersfield Town, which continues to keep pace with the leader. The Rangers of Glasgow were held to a 1-1 tie by the Airdrieonians at Ibrox park, while Motherwell was busy picking up both points at Kilmarnock with a 4-1 victory. Cowdenbeath, however, pulled something of a surprise when it upset the w. k. dope by handing the Celtic a 2-1 defeat. Queen's Park blanked the Hearts 2-0. Morton whitewashed Par- tick Thistle 3-0 and Falkirk and St. Mirren shared the points in a deadlocked game which ended with the score at 1-1. The Rangers lead the Scottish league with 44 points, Motherwell being second with 42 points. Celtic comes next with 40 points. Ireland reached the top of the International Rugby table when it inflicted a defeat on Wales by 19 points to 9 last Saturday afternoon. Only two more games remain to be played In this season's international series. These are Scotland vs. England at Murrayfield park, Edinburgh, and France vs. England at the Colombes stadium, Paris, on April 2. Wales finished one of the poorest international years it has experienced for some time, only one victory, that against France two weeks ago, having been registered, while for the Irishmen it has been markedly successful, their only defeat having been suffered at the hands of England at Twickenham, France, Scotland and Wales have all fallen 'before the onslaught of the Irish. The international standing is now as follows: P. W. D. L. Ireland 4 3 0 1 England 2 2 0 0 Scotland 3 2 0 1 Wales 4 1 0 3 France 3 0 0 3 Sensational displays of marksmanship have featured this season's struggle for supremacy in both the English and Scottish leagues. George Cam- sell. Middlesborough's speedy and brilliant center forward, provided he remains immune from injury, is in a fair way to chalk up a goal scoring record that may live in the annals of English soccer for many years to come, if not for all time. He has surpassed all other records and in doing so has set a pace in goal scoring almost double that of his predecessors. James Cookson of Chesterfield, last season, under the new off-side law, which gives forwards greater opportunities for scoring, was credited with 44 g-oals scored in 38 games, an English league record. In 1924-25, under the old off-side law, D. Brown of Darlington established a record when he registered 39 goals in 40 games, while Walker of St. Mirren during the season of 1921-22 set a Scottish first division record of 45 goals in 38 games. These performances pale into insignificance when compared with that of Camsell, who is only in his first season in second division play. Middlesborough still has seventeen league games to play, so that it can be readily perceived, by a glance at the following tabulation, the wonderful opportunity that Camsell has before him in which to set a figure for future marksmen to shoot at. Here is the Middlesborough marksman's remarkable achievement to date: Scored in. Goals. Games. League games 47 25 International trials 3 2 English cup games 4 3 Totals 54 30 It is not unlikely that Camsell may set the league record at as many as sixty goals, and goals are of vital importance to every team, whatever its standing may be. Middlesborough has been particularly fortunate in secur- L ing such a valuable leader of attack. When Camsell was assigned to the position of center forward on September 11 last at South Shields, Middlesborough had lost all three games played and had scored only one goal ' against seven. Since that time, in ' 27 games, the 'Boro has had 19 wins, . only 2 defeats and has scored 91 goals . against 43. At the time that Camsell registered his forty-seventh goal it 5 was the ninety-first for Middlesborough, so that he has scored more than r one-half of those made by his team. When he notched four goals against St. Mirren in a recent league game James M'Grory, the Glasgow Celtic ; center forward, created a new Scottish first division record, as that batch of tallies brought his total for the season to 47 in 27 games, which exceeded Duncan Walker's record of i 45 goals in 38 games, made in 1921- 22 when the player was with St. Mirren. Celtic still has eleven games to play, so that M'Grory, like Camsell, has a favorable opportunity of t adding considerably to his total. As he is but 23 years old, this young star is likely to make life miserable for some years to come for opposing net ! tenders. On three occasions he has registered five goals in one game and ' a similar number of times he has r registered four goals in a single match. Heart of Midlothian is said to be contemplating a big transfer coup, in which will figure three well-known ; Scottish players, all from the same club-a center forward, a center half- ' back and a left halfback. At the 1 same time the Hearts have announced " that James Smith, their outside right, " has been placed on the open-to-trans- ! fer list. It is only a short time ago ' that White, the Hearts' inside right, 1 was transferred to Leeds United. The passing of James Graham at j Ochiltree, Ayrshire, on his seventieth birthday anniversary, has further re- ' duced the ranks of the famous Preston North End Invincibles. winners of ; the footiball league championship and the English cup, both in the same season. Graham left Annbank for Preston in 1884 and was a success at right halfback. There are now only six of the famous Invincibles remain ing. NEW YORK FANS PAY $25,000,000 (Continued From Preceding Page,) a similar gate, the state's 5 per cent income tax would have amounted to $86,162.25. That boxing is an extremely profitable enterprise from the standpoint of the state treasury is evidenced by the net income of $1,156,053.65 in the period from September, 1920, to December 31, 1926. The gross income to the state from taxes and license fees in that time has been $1,520, 333.01. Of that sum, $364,279.35 has been expended in meeting the expenses of the law's administration by the state athletic commission. The commission's report on the year 1926 is a powerful argument in favor of keeping the boxing law on the Ibooks of the commonwealth. The 1926 report shows that $44,696.01 was realized from license fees to boxers, wrestlers, managers, seconds, matchmakers, judges, referees, physicians, timekeepers and clubs. A total of $206,889.14 was netted from the 5 per cent tax on admissions, making the receipts for the twelve months $251 583 15. Personal service, maintenance and operation used up $60,832.04, leaving a net gain to the state of $190,751.11. Iron Worker Saved by Two Fingers NEW YORK, March 19.-(By the Associated Press.)-An ironworker, James Connolly, lost his balance "on the iron" thirteen stories above the ground today and plunged toward the earth through the skeleton framework of a building under construction. He was saved by two fingers. Three stories below the bare cross- piece from which he fell his arm struck a small platform used for storage purposes.' A frantic clutch checked his plunge, but the momentum oosened his grip except for two fingers. With a struggle he swung himself to the platform amids the cheers of workers above, who sent him to a hospital for treatment of nothing more serious than two badly sprained digits. Southwestern Coal Mines May Close KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 19.- Possibility that the threatened central states walkout of union coal miners April 1 may be extended to include unions of the southwestern district loomed today,when the three-day wage scale conference between operators and miners here adjourned in a deadlock. Operators and miners of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas were represented at the meeting here. A subcommittee of ten, five for each side, will meet here again next Thursday, it was agreed today, to renew discussions. The hub of the controversy lies in the refusal of the operators to renew the present contract, lapsing April 1. The operators maintain that operating costs have risen to a degree which makes the present wage scale unprofitable. They insist on a downward revi- tion. The miners' scale calls for $7.50 to $8 a day, while the operators ask a return to the 1917 wage of $5 a day. John D. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, attended the conference. 'Mind in Evolution' Topic of Assembly Hall Talk Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, who comes to the Assembly hall, Tabernacle grounds, Thursday evening at 8:15 o'clock, as the ninth number of the Master Minds and Artists series, will give his lecture, "Mind in Evolution."

He always has the courage of his convictions and is unafraid." TEXAN FALLS DEAD. BRYAN, Texas, March 19.-(By the Associated Press.)-R. F.

Summerhays, Salt Lake tenor, announces the birth of a son to Mrs. Summerhays at the L. D. S. hospital. The new arrival has been named Robert Bruce Summerhays. Bank Robber Goes to Death Chair ENID, Okla., March 19.-(By the Associated Press.)-The Oklahoma law, providing execution for robbery with firearms, was invoked for the first time in history today when David Brown, 19, was sentenced to die in the electric chair for taking part in a bank robbery. Brown pleaded guilty and was sentenced by District Judge Charles Swindall at Cherokee, to be executed May 20. Offered clemency if he would reveal names of companions in the robbery, Brown refused to give any information. Brown was alleged to have been one of several men who robbed the Jet bank in Alfalfa county, Oklahoma, recently. He took his sentence calmly. The youth's mother was present when sentence was imposed. She pleaded for mercy, declaring he was not mentally sound. There is no record of any previous ! case in Oklahoma where the death j penalty was levied for a robbery, un- i less some one was killed during the j crime. Mrs. Mildred R.

OGDEN DEPARTMENT 2514 Washington Ave. Phones--117 and 1302-W; Society, 2190. WORK TO VISIT OGDEN MONDAY Dr. Elwood Mead, Director of Reclamation Service, Expected Sunday. OGDEN, March 19.-Dr. Elwood Mead, director of the United States reclamation service, will arrive in Ogden earlv tomorrow for a conference with directors of the Weber River Water Users' association. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, is expected here Monday. Details of Secretary Work's visit are yet incomplete in the absence of definite word from him, although it is expected that he will confer with the Utah water storage commission and attend to other matters concerned with the Echo reservoir. Plans are being made by the chamber of commerce to entertain both prominent men at dinner Monday night, although these plans are subject to the schedule of Secretary Work. When Dr. Mead meets with the directors of the Weber River Water Users' association tomorrow he will be informed that all of the mass of details prerequisite to advertising for bids for the building of the Echo reservoir have been completed. President A. P. Bigelow of the association said today that the association has met all requirements of the government and will await approval of Dr. Mead and Secretary Work. Meeting of the association will be held in the directors' room of the Ogden State bank. Dr. Mead will be met at the Union depot by officers of the association. Whether Dr. Mead or Dr. Work will visit Salt Lake on this trip is somewhat uncertain, as their plans are not definitely known. A special meeting of the Utah .water storage commission was called for 10:30 o'clock Monday morning, when it was learned that Dr. Mead was to arrive in Ogden Sunday and remain in Utah about twenty-four hours. Notices of the special meeting were sent out by George M. Bacon, state engineer and secretary of the commission, and Governor George H. Dern and Congressman Don B. Colton were invited to address the meeting. Mr. Bigelow was requested to bring Dr. Mead to Salt Lake for the meeting and said he would endeavor to do so, it was announced by Mr. Bacon. At the time the meeting was called it was understood that Dr. Work would be in Ogden only for about forty minutes and Mr. Bacon said Saturday night that he had heard nothing to the contrary since that time. Both Dr. Mead and Dr. Work are on their way to the Pan-Pacific conference which is to be held in Honolulu. The meeting of the water storage commission was not cal'ed for any special consideration of the Echo reservoir project, officials of that body declared Saturday night. The last subscription and the last mortgage of the 80 per cent minimum in the storage capacity of the project was turned over to E. O. Larsen, engineer in charge of investigation in the Salt Lake basin project, Saturday. This completed the fulfillment of the requirements placed upon the subscribers by the government, so that the secretary of the interior and the reclamation commissioner may be informed that the 80 per cent subscriptions are now in shape for beginning of the construction of the reservoir. Negotiations with the Union Pacific railroad for the moving of about five miles of track on the Park City branch are still pending, but nearing a satisfactory conclusion, it was announced Saturday. The negotiations with the state highway commission for the realignment of about five miles of the Lincoln highway have been completed, it was reported. Moving of both the track and the highway was necessitated by the proposed construction of the Echo project. According to Harry C. Jessen, city engineer, it is not expected that the city commissioners will confer with the interior department officials, as the nature of the conference scheduled on the Echo project, in which the city is interested as a subscriber, will not likely affect the city's status. Alleged Unfair Tactics of Wets Are Denounced OGDEN, March 19.-Resolutions denouncing alleged unfair tactics of the wets in reported distortions of facts concerning deaths from alcohol and arrests for drunkenness for broadcasting over the country through newspapers were adopted today at an all-day conference of the state Women's Christian Temperance Union officers. The conference was held at the home of Mrs, W. S. Flewelling, 1176 Twenty-second street. The resolution referred to statistics given at a congressional hearing, in which a wet champion said that the number of arrests for drunkenness in Chicago in one year were 96,000. This was corrected the following day by Mayor Dever of Chicago, who reported that this included all arrests for all crimes and offenses, the resolution sets forth. The W. C. T. U. has honestly endeavored to give out only authentic facts and statistics and uphold the laws sponsored by the government of the United States, it was set forth. Mrs. M. O. Parry of Salt Lake, state president, presided at the conference and gave a report.' Plans for the state convention to be held in October in Tremonton were discussed. It is expected that Mrs. Parry will attend the national convention to be held in Minneapolis, Minn., August 28. Plans to increase the membership of the W. C. T. U. in Utah were discussed and put under way. City and Hotel Sued on Account of Drain OGDEN, March 19.-Ogden City and the Hotel Bigelow were made defendants in a suit filed in the Second district court today by J. P. O'Neill, owner of the St. Paul hotel, asking that a drain which was torn away during the building of the Hotel Bigelow be replaced, and for damages of $3050 alleged to have been caused by the absence of the drain. Complaint is based upon a claim made recently to the city commissioners, which was denied. It is set forth that more than twenty years ago the St. Paul hotel, in conjunction with Ogden City and other property owners near Twenty-fifth street and running back from the latter place, built a drain underground. This drain was torn away during the hotel construction with the advice and consent of the city engineer, the complaint says, and water damaged pool tables in the basement of the St. Paul hotel. According to officials of the Hotel Bigelow, the drain referred to was one which the Reed Hotel company privately built twenty-two years ago to drain water from a canal which ran through the block. VETERAN MEETS DEATH ON RAILS Was in Jail for Two Days and Gave Name of Taylor Allison, Colorado. OGDEN, March 19.-A man who had been lodged in the county jail tie last two days, and who gave his name there as Taylor Allison, 45, of Elwood, Colo., veteran of the world war, was instantly killed at 11:45 o'clock this forenoon at Uintah when Union Pacific train No. 9 struck him. According to officers from the sheriff's office who investigated the case, Allison was evidently asleep on the tracks. C. D. Linsley of Evanston, engineer of the train, called at the sheriff's office this afternoon and reported that the victim was evidently asleep on the tracks. His body was brought to Ogden by Deputy Sheriff D. F. Steele and is now in the Kirkendall mortuary. According to records at the sheriff's office, a special agent for the railroad telephoned the office Thursday and asked that a transient be lodged in jail. Allison was brought to the jail and booked, no charge being placed against him. He told officers r that he served during the world war and was wounded and gassed in France. He displayed scars on his person purported to have been received in battle. Ex-service men called at the county jail to see him. Allison left for the south this morning, Deputy Sheriff Steele said. The attaches of the sheriff's office said that Allison appeared to be suffering mentally. He said that he had a i sister living in Nashville, N.C. i Investigation of the affair is to be continued. Meanwhile, officers are attempting to get into touch with relatives of the victim. Geo. A.

TOMLINSON, WILSON HOTEL, Salt Lake. F. C. CLARK, Times Bldg., New York ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed In such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist some Bisurated Magnesia and take a tea- spoonful of powder or four tablets in water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents tne formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form -never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take, and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestioa. (Advertisement.) |
