Some arinterest has been awakened by the rival from Denver of Harry Stoney, who managed the Lagoon team last season. Stoney has a couple of propositions on. One Is to put in a team re-at Boise and the other Is to attempt to in organize a State league in Utah, rewhich the support of Ogden can be lied upon. Stoney says he can get prachere last tically the same team he had says, Stoney year. Harry Newmeyer, reThe California. for not signed has a of out josh, grew port that he had about Stoney says, and was brought will this way: Charley Reilly, ofwho Los the probably have the handling Denver was in this year, Angeles club and was with Newmeyer, Jimmy Williams and Stoney one evening. inThea four were talking baseball and conblank joshing vein Reilly produced tracts and proceeded to sign Williams the and Newmeyer at $30,000 each forDenseason. The report reached the ver papers that Reilly had signed the two men, but the Josh element of the signing was not brought out Stoney league says Newmeyer has an American contract In his clothes, but would prefer to stay in the West if possible, and would entertain a proposition to come to Utah. The teams in the league here last year 'did not prove paying propositions for the owners of the clubs, and it is a reasonable supposition that if a State league is formed this year lower salaries and a correspondingly lower class of ball will be seen. This will inevitably have an effect on the attendance, as the fans will remember the fast ball of the previous year and slight games accordingly. With two of the Montana towns in the Northwestern league all hope of a circuit Including Montana is off, and bitter experience has shown that the Idaho towns cannot be depended upon to piy expenses except upon Sundays or holidays, and not always on those days. A good State league seems about the best that can be hoped for, and if it is properly organized and well handled it will not be so bad. nt; ballDudley C.

The chief objection the horsemen had to the location of the fair at Agricultural park was that it is necessary to cross a number of railroad tracks in passing from the city to the place. This, it was argued, would have a serious effect on the attendance, as many people, especially ladies, would not care to take the risks Incident to driving in the vicinity of the railroad tracks. The soil about Agricultural park is also said to be cuppy and not of the best nature for a race track. The horsemen held a meeting Saturday night and appointed a committee to confer with the directors of the society concerning the matter, with a view to getting the attitude of the fair people in regard to racing. A liberal attitude in regard to racing purses and racing generally was asked for. The conference between the committee and the fair people did not result The satisfactorily to the horsemen. fair directors stated that the society was hampered by lack of funds and submitted a proposition to have the horsemen build a track at Agricultural park, taking a lease on the track for a term of years in payment for the improvements made. The horsemen met last Saturday and drafted a proposition to the society, whereby the horsemen offer to put in a good mile track at the fair grounds, providing the fair people erect a commodious grand stand and suitable stable accommodations, the horsemen to lease on the track, have a fifteen-yea- r receiving a percentage of the gate receipts during each fair meeting. This proposition is almost certain to be rejected by the fair people, who say they have no money to spare for this purpose, and that they will not become parties to a lease of longer tenure than their terms of office. As it now stands, it looks as if the horsemen would have to form an association of their own if they desire a track during the next few years.

Judge Miner was the only member of the Supreme court who was present at the meeting of the Bar association when Mr. Varian and Mr. Lee passed strictures on that body and incidentally on two of the District Judges who concurred in the opinions most criticized. As It happened, however, Judge Miner ns withers were un wrung, as he sat the neither of the cases. The opinion inwas Thoreson vs. the Land board case conwritten by Justice Baskin and curred In by Justice Bartch and Judge case McCarty, and the State salary Justice opinion was also written by Baskin and concurred in by Justice Bartch and Judge Morse. Mr. Varian should have had no kick on the decision in the salary case, as he was the leading attorney on the winning side. |
