The signed contract of Infielder Lou Barbour was received by Business 31a n-"Jg'er n-"Jg'er O'Connor yesterday. Barbour's con-; con-; tract was accompanied by a letter in I which the player expresses his satisfac- j tion at getting a berth with the Salt Lake c-lnb. Barbour is a classy infielder. He was with the Lincoln club of the Western league "no years ago. Last year he was put on t:-,e White Sox register. Owinsr ; to a surplus of infieidera at tie time ; and also on account of a ?!x-!m injury suffered by Barbour, Comiskey f-tj liim to E'enver. He played a great rhiid bane ! for the Grizzlies.

Manager Plankenship .3 r.of -worried j about V itcher Yingling. A dispatch from ; Cincinnati yesterday mofnln was to the effert th3t Yinsiing' objected to coming I to Salt Lake. "Blank" laushed loud and i long wh-ei he read the dispatch. "I had a talk with Tingling, " said the skipper yesterday afternoon, "and re came to a perfect understanding. I think Tingling is holding off ,in the hope of zetting a cut in on the money we are paying the Cincinnati club. Tingling has ' a two-year contract vr'.th the P.eds and naturally thinks that if there is any ' loose coin floating around as a part of the deal he should get in on it. I have no fear that Tingling will not be with us this year." Blafikenship's cbib is practically com-pWe. com-pWe. at least as a starter.
