Show Great JVebvjr jfior the F&njr. M Articles of the JVebu "Ball Club to be fl Filed Today. M Even when the snow is flying so thick that he IH is unable to see the sign in front of a free lunch H counter, the baseball fan's enthusiasm waneth not H and he looks forward blithely to the baseball fes fl tlvities of the coming season. The cranks will H therefore be joyed to learn tat today articles H of incorporation of the Salt Lake Baseball asso fl ciatlon will be filed. The names of the officers H of the. association will be a sufficient guarantee fl of the coming baseball season being one of the H most successful in the history of the state. They H are: Samuel Newhouse, president; Clarence Mc- H Cornick, vice president, and D. H. Peery, C. H. H Griffin and Rodney Badger directors. H With a coterie of this kind backing a baseball H team, there can be no question about any possl- H ble lack of funds or any doubt of the most ef- H ficient team obtainable being secured. Mr. Grlf- M fln is the premier of baseball in Utah, and jH through his energetic effort has done more to- jH wards enlisting the support of the incorporators H than any other one person. Mr. Badger is also H an old fan, who will be the able secretary of the jH organization, and for Messrs. Newhouse, McCor- jH nick and Peery, it is only necessary to say that M they look extremely good to the fans and no commendation of their efforts in behalf of secur- 1 ing a first class baseball tea-na for Zion is re- jH quired, because their work is thoroughly appre- M ciated by all local lovers of the great National M game. H It has not yet been decided who will be M manager, of the team, but the choice will lie be- M tween former manager McCloskey and Glmlin of M Ogden. It is entirely probable, however, that M the choice of the incorporator will be McClos- H key, whose ripe experience as a baseball man- .iger and popularity with and knowledge of the players would make him an extremely valuable adjunct to the organization. Ho has probably turned more players into the National league than almost any other western manager. At the same time the efficiency of Gimlin in the capacity of manager is not overlooked, and it is possible that the old Ogden warhorse may Vie chosen for the place. v' V SAMUEL NEWHOUSE. All the old players who fiiJshed the season here will be seen on the local diamond next year, with the exception of Donahue, who, through the underhanded work of Grim, was sold to Muckin- fuss of the St. Louis Nationals. Mr. Grim had'no more right to dispose of Donahue than a horse J doctor would to dispose of some of Mr. Rckefel- B ler's oil stock, and at that the St. Louis-man- K agement will have to pay an adult sized amount Hj to retain him, as he is under contract with the Hj Salt Lake association. A good many other play- H ers of known talent will be signed, including some H of the best twirlers within the managerial reach. H No money will be spared to make Salt Lake a R strong candidate for the Pacific National pennant. H The money for the association has been put up " ' by Messrs. Newhouse, NMcCornick and Peory, and they are prepared to advance enough more to insure Salt Lake's having a splendid organization. organiza-tion. The many thousands of admirers of gridiron prowess of Yaje and Harvard have had tears to shed, and have shed them, and will probably continue to wear sackcloth until the end of the season. Poor old Goliath Harvard being sent to the glebe by a pebble from the sling of little Dartmouth is about as pitiful a thing as will ever have to be recorded in the athletic annals of proud Cambridge. Yale presents a palpably stronger front for the coming Thanksgiving battle bat-tle with the crimson, but is distinctly the weakest weak-est set of warriors that have fought for old Eli in many years. While the defeat by Princeton was not ignominious, it was decisive enough and made a sad rent in the Eli uniform. & e & Stanford fared much better this year than the most hysterical enthusiast could have imagined a few weeks ago. To the astonishment of both varsities, Stanford was speedier and more com-pact com-pact in formation than Berkeley, and Heltmul-ler's Heltmul-ler's fluke was all that saved the Berkleyites from a humiliated defeat from their poorly rated rivals. &r icfr fr If there was ever any doubt about Jack Monroe's Mon-roe's being a - very fragile antagonise for Jeffries, the same was obliterated by his recent fight with Peter Maher, even if he did deal out the quieting drops to the baked out old. Irishman. He showed little speed and no cleverness and not a great amount of propelling power, and the demise of Peter in the sixth looked very flunky to the spectators. spec-tators. Monroe is now matched with Al Limerick, the Irish giant of Buffalo. Limerick weighs 220 and is the tallest pugilist in the ring, measuring G feet 4 inches. t t3 Among many sports on the coast, the stock of Jimmy Brift did not rise as a result of his iecent performance with Siegev but that was to be expected, as the knockers have always been very busy with the clever Californian lightweight. Britt says himself that he did not make an effort to put Sieger out for fear of injuring his hands. That also was the advise he received from his seconds. Another thing which kept him from being be-ing an agressive as usual was the fact that Martin Mar-tin Canole was in the audience and he did not wish his antagonist of a few days later to see too H much of his style of fighting. A match between H Britt and Hanlon at 129 pounds is now talked of, VaH but Hanlon is unwilling to figure in a match with H anyone until it is definitely decided whether he H will bo able to arrange a go with Young Corbett, H who is now on his way to the coast.
