There will be a meeting of the board of directors of the Salt Lake club within with-in a day or two. The meeting of the board has been deferred pending the return re-turn of Director Lawrence Greene, who has been absent from the city. President Presi-dent Lane desired a complete attendance at the meeting, since the matter of selecting se-lecting a manager and other important matters are likely to be taken up. . Tn fielder Palmer, who went from the Dallas club in the Texas league to Connie Mack, may become a member of the Angels. Although Manager Wade Killefer of the Tks Angeles club has not signed a contract for next year, he is keeping his : eyes open for some good men.

According to Sacramento dispatches, every mail brings a flood of applications from ball players desirous of managing the Sacramento club. The latest applicants ap-plicants are Harry "VVolter, well-known outfielder, who played with the Chicago Cubs last season, and Charlie (Spider) Baum. the San Francisco pitcher. Sacramento fans interested in the movement to install a class AA club in the capital city have suggest ed Spider for the managerial throne.

Del Baker, catcher for' the San Francisco Fran-cisco Seals, who makes his home at Sherwood, Ore., was in the city yesterday yester-day and made application for a position aa yeoman in the naval service. Del was told by the recruiting officer that there was no opening in that particular particu-lar branch of the naval service. Further Fur-ther questioning by the naval officer elicited the fact that Baker was a ball player. "Yes, we'll see if we can't make a place for you at Bremerton," said the recruiting officer. "They are planning on a big league baseball team there next season, if you fellows are not doing do-ing duty on the briny deep chasing Kaiser Bill's subs." Portland Oregonian. Charlie Tonneman. who caught for the Salt Lake L'nion association club and the Oaks, and who, since leaving the Coast league, has played In the Copper league, is back in Oakland again and would like to catch on with one of the tenms in the Midwinter league. Tonneman led the Ray team in the Copper league and finished i n second place. His club really won first place, but the Mill club protested so strongly that Jack Ryan pitched the emery ball in the deciding game, that it was necessary to play the game over again. A three-game three-game series was arranged and the Mill team won two of them, thereby beating Tonneman's team out of tho championship. champion-ship. In the same league Jack Bromley, another an-other former Oak. pitched wonderful ball, in fact, the best in his career. Joe (Daddy) Tobin, well known to local fans, was also a bright star in the league, hitting hit-ting the ball around the .300 mark and making but one error during the season. Joe will spend the winter in the copper belt, this being his first Christmas in the snow. Frank Hosp and other foriner coasters came as far as Los Angeles with Tonneman, Tonne-man, and expect to come to the hay cities at a later date.
