Show Butte M so Pacific IMional Copper City Decides Not to Have a Baseball Team This Season. Special lo The Tribune. , Bl'TTF, Mont.. March 21. Bulle will havo no baseball team In Ihe Pacific Nation Na-tion league this year. Sueli, was the decision de-cision reached tonight nt the meeting 'of thoso Interested In the local baseball situation. sit-uation. Although Mr. Glllls. Manager Wharton of the street railway company, C. H. 1-ane and several others have apparently ap-parently done ull they could to promote Interest ln a team, IhSro was no one lo shoulder the responsibility, und the game Is closed, locked, barred and fastened, and the only Interesting development to watch for Is the probable action of tho Lncns-McCloskey outfit, which may now attempt a flirtation with this city ln somo shadowy league It may havo up its sleeve. At the meeting held lonlght it was evident ev-ident the gentlemen present did not think It possible at this lute day to raise money enough or secure plnyers In time to enter the game. Clvde Williams of Spokane wired from Salt Lake lo the effect that an answer must be had at once, and the answer he got was practically "Butte, baseball nit." Tho people who have been back of tho game here do not believe there would be sufficient Interest in tho game this year to support the best kind of a team. They feel that the season Is so far advanced ad-vanced without any visible results as far as this city la concerned, that tho organization of a club here would result In nothing but failure, and, consequently. It was doclded to abandon the project altogether, al-together, and If a Pacific National lcaguo exists at all. it will consist of Salt Lake, Boise. Ogden and Spokane. |
