Business College Team Is Now Ready
to PLAY.

The lineup of the Salt Lake Bust
ness college team is now finally de-
cided, ard the ball tossers who will
represent that institution have all been
given their places. 1t certainly is q
strong aggregation and WIFI hold its
OWE with the other teams Of the am
ateur class. Practices have been held
svary day on the Eighteenth ward
square for some time paAt to get the
men into shape, and to find out where
each man is best suited to play. Cap
tain Nicholson has at last gotten them
in the following positions: Charley
Luf, catcher: Ray Romney, pitcher:
A. q. Swens0n. first base: Charley Cas-
Teton, second base; w. s. Young. third
case; Adrian Pembroke, shOrtstop;
Tom Johnson, left field; Captain Mich
olson, center fiel0; Royal ROmney,
right field. L. p. Midgley is manager
Of the team, and he has been making
arrangements for outfits that are to
be nObby and stunning. When the
boys line up for their first game they
viii not only show how the game
should be played, but they will look
about as pretty as any nine on the dia-
mond.

The High school nine is still in a for
native stage. and very few of the posi-
tons are settled. AID Everett is to hold
down the place behind the bag. Alb
Howell is TO be in the box, Fred Smith
Is 10 be on second base, Bert Rasmus-
sen IL to be shortstOp, Gardanier and
BerEStrOm are TO be out in the field,
but beyond that there is very little
settled. Several good men were out
yesterday trying for the various va
caDcies. and il is just possible that
from them 4 good nine viii be selected.
Bob Kenyon and a new man by the
name Of Moore are out for first base,
and one of the two will likely get the
position. Frank Tregea has not signed
Nith any outside team as yet, and il is
possible that he may be induced TO
join the team again. He was captain
and second baseman on last years
nine. and was one of the best players
on the team. II he is induced to come
back it win mean much for the team.
But all around things are looking much
brighter for the wearerS of the red
and black than they did awhile ago.
Interest among the players is increas-
Ing. and 1t seems 10 be the feeling of
every man 20 have the High school as
well represented as it ever was.
There was some talk few days ago
Of the building Of a new baseball park
out by the Hot Springs. but it seems
to have all died out. The railroad mines
have both had trouble with the man
aEement nf Walkers park over the
rate that is asked for the rental Of
the grounds As they are to plav a
schedule that is to last all summer.
they desire TO get the grounds as
cHeaply as possible. and there was
some talk Of having a new park built
or Of fixing up the old one out at
F7ok's Hot Springs. Nothing seems to
have come of It. and the league games
win most likely be played at Walkers
field although no definite step has as
YET been taken.

Ev-BIsnager James T. Fulton Of the
Rio Grandes yesterday received a. LET
ter from :, II. Crittenden of Windsor
Colo. asking what the chances were
for letting on the railroad nine. Crit
tHn1an states that ne is an all-around
nan and can pl6y any position eYcept
pitcher. having thrown his arm ont
three years ago. His position lately
has haen behind the bat. Fulton turned
the letter over to Manager Hickey. but
as the Rio Grande lineup has been
decided. il is unlikely that Crittenden
VII be brought over.
