LARDNER Copyright, 1924, by Th Boll Syndics, lac. Reported That Baseball Situation Is Nearing Climax; Low Figures Mentioned in Gossip; Boss Lane Brings News of New Players for. 1925. It mmi that a situation la immi the affairs at th Kalt lake baseball dab of the. Coast league mhhh will demand a mors Intimate contact bat wean ths people of Salt Lake or tha departure of tha club from this city. For soma time ft has baan grow ing Increasingly apparent that, ftooner or later, Salt Lke would have to own Its own baaahail club .Jt has often been set forth that tha man who owns tha larga majority of tha attxk at present, H W lane, waa aager With a to dispose of hta holdings View to a possible pun. hast of Mr Lanes interest In the ilun, a ape tal of tha thamher of commerce. about two months ago. prepared and submitted to the thamber an exhaustive report upon tha feasibility of taking over Mr. lane a holdings and the terms and conditions Upon which U might be hoped to conNo in the future duct the club action waa taken on that report For a week or ao there have been vague whispers that things were moving toward an Issue To be plain, that hlr lane was not only ready to sell. 4ut also that he would insist on nant In MAY BECOME BEES IN 192S OTHER TO SELL. 'Well, I don't know Juat what to to in a direct Question say reply he responded It it welt known that I have for some time been desirous of disposing of my interests in the halt Lake club and have made various propositions, but thus far nothing has come of them At this time I am not only of the earns mind but much more so. In fact. 1 hava about reached tha point whre L feel that 1 cannot go on much longer with the baseball enterprise here from sources other than Mr. Laned It is learned that there is a project afoot to put tha question plainly before the people of halt Lake as to whether they want to buy tha club or, at any rate, the majority stock held by Mr lane or whether READY they will and the framhiee permit club to be removed elsewhere In this connection It Is understood that conditions are now favorable for a transfer of this stock at a prh e which would give tha purchasers control by a good majority of shares for a sum not much in excess of $&0,CKH) The figure mentioned heretofore hae bean $166 000, but that figure included all of the stock, as wall aa the fran hies and plaers The figure are more or leas apno proximate and admittedly are of anvbod In authority quotation Mr Lane, whan these reports were railed to his attention declined to discuss the matter definitely ' I will go so far as to aav. however, he said that if the people of pAlt Lake want to keep the ball club they can have It at a figure whUh, under circumstances other than those which now exist, would be ridiculous PLAYER CONTRACTS VALUABLE The contracts ths ball players of the Kalt Lake club are aaeilv worth $12&.lRri Tha organisation is In first-clas- s shape, not only at a baseball club ready tgttakft the field but also in that which relates to Us financial affairs In addition to the value of the players contracts, the club has a ' tf park, stands and various equipment, all of which represent no small aunt In tha way of Investment Juat how the matter wilt be placed before the people seems rather inbe definite No doubt It would brought to the attention of the chamber of commerce Whatever la done toward an effort to keep the Bees If will no doubt be done promptly no steps are taken speedib, there aeents to be grave danger Indeed that the Bees have played their last baseball In Kalt Mr Lane expects to leave Friday It Is poulble that for Los Angeles there may be some developments be- fore that time Bo much for the outlook aa It affects baseball In Kalt Lake next season. There is more encouragement In Mr lanes news aa to tha prospects of the Bees themselves as a baseball club Tha latest definite addition to ths Bee roster Is Johnny Kerr, an Kerr comes to the Bees from the Boettn Americans In the Kallio deal, a companion piece to Outfielder Joe Connolly. He was obtained by the Red Sox from Detroit, who got WUh th Denver him from Denver tiuh in 1922 he hit 91! Naturally, he did not get much chanc in the He is said tn be a American league As In the case of sprightly fielder iTatk Pittcngr, Kerr does not corn with an impressive record from the r majors, but evervone knows how became one of the stars of the league Maybe Kerr will do like Iit-tng- w lee RtERCEY AND SMITH. Another, but less definite, piece of raws Is that BUI Pieroey, right-hand who was ome before with the pitcher, Bees will return to his old quarters He, too, comes from the Ked Sox All that stands between Disney and the resumption of a Bee uniform Is waiv ing by other major league clubs If developments follow indications. n upr-weddin- Adam Walsh, Center, Not Likely to Play Against Stanford for Injuries.
