CUIffl OGDEN IS AFTER'DAD'GIMLIN Doise, Jilno 1. "Dad" Gimlin, the. veteran ball player and star center Holder of tho Boise club in the Western West-ern Tri-Stato league, is tho prize that the fans of Ogden aro angling for at tho present time and aro said to be willing to pay good money for In order or-der to bring him back to Ogden to take charge of that city's club In the Union association, says tho Butte Inter-Mountain But Gimlin Is under contract to play with Boise in tho Trl-State Trl-State this season and tho only way rifHon nan hnnn ir ?ittff lilwi . nr w- iw kvjju n- wwuiiiu nun in u delivering over a handsome price-BoiBe price-BoiBe values him fully as much as does Ogden. A stack of mail awaits the Inspection Inspec-tion of Gimlin when he drops into Boise tonight. Many of the letteis' aro of the special delivery ordor and they are fiom Ogden . Things aro going go-ing bad In that city McCloskey appears ap-pears to hae confronted a situation that even the "honest" one cannot get over or around The talk ol a atock company capitalized for $10,000, organized to back the Ogdon team ami from which to pay McCloskey a handsome hand-some salary, does not seem to have prospered as lovely as had been expected ex-pected Many of the fans are dissatisfied dis-satisfied with McCloskev. They wan' Gimlin. For many years "Dad" was the rec- ognlzed father of baseball at Ogden. I When he left there this season the i fans greatly regretted the loss for they knew what Gimlin had done for good baseball and what he would continue to do If given a chance to handle the Union league club. Absence has made the hearts of many of the fans grow fonder at Ogden. Gimlin looks mighty good to them But he likewise looks good to the home management and It will take hard cash and lotB of It to return him ZIMMERMAN NOW LEADS JUTIONALS Helnie Zimmerman of the Chicago Cubs now has a clear lead of 26 points over "Chief" Meyers of the Giants In the race for Individual batting honors hon-ors of the National league.

J I SALT LAKE IS DEFEATED BY OGDEN After playing ball with arylng success suc-cess for about two weeks, big Ed Erlckson, who came to this city as a star pitcher some weeks ngo, won his game against Salt Lake Friday afternoon, after-noon, by batting a two-bagger in the last half of the ninth, bringing In two men and stopping tho game at 8 to 7 Ip favor of the visitors Tho performance per-formance was a distinct surprise to tho Salt Lake men. who thought they had the game cinched up to tho time Erlckson loaned aEnlnat tho nlll and started the base runners toward home plate. The attendance was small, but thoso who were on hand to see tho gamo wltnossod an exhibition of classy baseball The locals .came back In a bunch after going Into tho cellar, and thoy played ball like demons The tamest thing about the game was the exhibition of Jeff Clark, a new pitcher, who recently joined tho Skyscrapers Cooley sent Clark in to ctart the game, but Clark only lasted one inning George "Wossler figurml him out the first ball that went over the pan. and the second one that crossed the plate was clouted for two sacks At that Clark went up In the air, passing three men and hitting one, forcing in a man. Dressan took his place, but Wood hit Dressan and drove in two runs In the second inning, in-ning, Ogden got two more runs on three safe hits. Recruit Warren, who has enjoyed a week's rest, was sent In to pitch for Ogden, but he was easy prey for the Weaver outfit. They scored one In the first, when Fortler sent Spencer across with a two-bagger, and incidentally in-cidentally this Fortler person did considerable con-siderable clouting today In five times m ho managed to fatten his batting average with a pair of doubles, a triple tri-ple and a homo run. The homer and a- three-bagger hv Leo DreBsan were the means Of sending send-ing thiee more In for the lsitors in the third Abbott did the homo run honors in the fourth, and Warren took the count In the sixth after a double and a triple had scored two more. Owing to Erlckson's work in the past the fans could see nothing but gloom when ho succeeded Warren on the mound, but the big fellow jierformel In the best form yet shown Onlv two hits were secured off him In his three and a third Innings Two luns behind, Ogden went into the eighth and assailed Dressan for a pair of doubles, which made it six The finish of Leo In the Wodnesdav game was still fresh In the minds of the Macks when thoy tore Into the home stretch, and Dressan was tho goat for their fighting back qualities Schimpff singled is a atarter and I Wood laid one down, a slow one 'o I Davis.
