I Sporting Life. M ! tjB 11 interest in sporting circles during the past H'cek hns been centered on the arrival of President By, n. Lucas of the Pacific Northwest league in Hhls fity and what may come of the frame-ups flMyhiip in the burg. As things look at present, he Hot away with a bad start by taking George Bor-Hher& Bor-Hher& as chief adviser, for the "Big Chief," as he Ws called, is about the biggest thing in the four-Hlush four-Hlush line that ever came over the hill. He has ' itft mortgage on the hot-air plant, and peddles it Kut by the barrel. If the proposition of Salt Lake ' Hntertaing the Northwest league next year id to reach a successful culmination, ho must be cut , nit for the fans will not stand for any more of ! lis law work. There is a splendid opportunity for a team to :ome into this city with-backing which will make he proposition strong. Mr. Lucas is authority for the statement, gleaned within the past few nights, that Borchers will have nothing to do with the scheme otherwise than being a mere player. Men with money are behind the game, and propose to carry it through. Ex-President Critchlow expressed ex-pressed himself as being in favor of the project, but said that he would not be mixed up with the game. "I got enough when I acted as president pres-ident of the Utah league, which blew up. Regarding Re-garding the new deal, you can count me out, although al-though I am willing to back the scheme, providing there is enough baseball in it." Lucas is dead crazy to put a team in this city, and with the backing which has been guaranteed him, not even an overloaded mine would cause promoters to hesitate. Everything looks fine and dandy, as the Northwest president has it framed up, but he needs to get in with the right bunch or he will be frazzled to a fare-you-well. Men are behind the proposition who have stability. sta-bility. All they wish is a run for their money. Not a "Good Night to Lizzie Lass," but a run. On Monday night one of the greatest games in the wrestling line will be pulled off at the Salt Lake Athletic club between Eugene Thompson of Salt Lake and Jack Curran of Great Falls, Mont., the latter being one of tho best men in that line that ever blew over the pike. Following that match comes the bout between Jack Clifford and Dal Hawkins, which the Butte people are trying to pull off in that city, but your uncle's dope says "Here."
