Critchlow', after trying in vain to secure a rate satisfactory to the teams from the Oregon Short Line, sent a letter to each of the managers of the teams announcing that his efforts had been of no avail. This can scarcely fail to have a more or less disastrous effect on baseball In Utah the coming season. There is some talk of forming railroad teams, but even should this idea be carmore ried out, it is not .likely than a moderate success at best.
