H. Coombs represented the East high school. All attempts at compromise failed, according to President Moss. Mr. Hamilton stated that the Logan institution had spent a considerable sum in advertising the game for Friday afternoon. He said that the merchants of had agreed to cloae their stores on Logan Friday afternoon, and that Indications pointed to a large turn out to the game. Regardless of these facts, he said, the Loganites would be glad to postpone the game until Saturday, with the understanding that the game be played. in Logan, The Leopards had hoped to the game in Salt Lake. However, asplay a matter of compromise. Principal Coombs said that the school would be satlsfleid to play the game in Ogden. If it was that the game should be played in agreed Mr. Coombs stated, the East highOgden, would be willing to reimburse the Loganites for th money spent in advertising ths gams at Logan. The East high agreed aleo to guarantee the High School Athletic association the same sum of money that the Logan school has guaranteed for the battle at Logan. , Mr. Hamilton said that If the were to be played at any place game other than Logan, he would rather have th contest staged in Salt Lake, as the Logan boys are more familiar with the field at Cummings fleljthanwlth the one at Lorin Farr park In Ogden. As the matter now stgnds, the game will not be played. According to President James E. Moss, if theism Is not played Logan will be awarded the championship of the etate at the first meeting of the board of control of the State High School Athletic association.

Mr. Cobum has drawn up the articles of agreement and these have been accepted by - Itr the clubs, with these articles Mr. Coburn has Incorporated some provisions that will help baseball in the towns where finances are the greatest worry for managers. His ability to do this is reinforced by his experience as both business manager and playing manager and a director of the Cache Valley league.

Logan, which is the third largest city In tbe state, has proved In the last two years that baseball will not suffer for want of support here. flt Champs Expected In. Bmithfleld has Seen reluctant so far, but the Cache champs can easily support a team in ths new league, which, as a matter of fact, is not a larger financial burden than the Cache Valley league would be. Lewiston has been behind the game in the Cache loop for two yeara and that town will always be able to hold her own, due to the splendid support received from the residents, who are alwavs ready to back clean sports of all kinds. There is little question in the minds ot any of the persons concerned but what Brigham City and Tremonton will be able to hold up their ends. Both of these clubs have exhibited more enthusiasm than ths others In the meetings --held to date. The new league will no doubt run for four months during the summer season. Instead of three months of play, as has been the case In the Cache Valley league. Two games a week will be played and with the distribution of these contests over the territory, Indications point to much larger crowds than any of the Cache teams enjoyed last season.
